4 Years Later, then,
This holiday Amber does not teach and fill her free time to help restaurants in the city. Retoran owned by Amanda and Amber has changed a lot and arguably quite crowded every day, now they have 5 waiters, 3 chefs, 1 barista and 1 cashier.
"Earl." Amber took a candy that Earl had just taken from the cashier jar, her index finger moving slowly before the Earl's face. "How many sweets today? You want your teeth to hurt?" Ask Amber while squatting.
Amber rubbed the Earl's hair softly, not felt now Earl is 7 years old more, and 3 months more Earl will be the birthday at the age of 8 years. "But I'm tired of Mom, I want to go home," whined Earl slowly. "The candy is not for me Mom, Angel will go far away again, I want to give you this candy," the Earl muttered later. Remember the girl named Angel? Apparently Angel would visit the village every year for a week, and this was his last day.
"We have to wait for Uncle Sean to come back, baby, let's sit there again, Mom has to help Aunty choose a new sofa, you want to come pick?" Barred Amber with vigor, but the Earl remained pouting, he shook his head slowly.
"What if I don't meet Angel Mom? One very long year for us to meet again, I must have missed him again," the whining Earl started back in fuss. Amber sighed deeply, she stood up and tidied up the skirt at a glance.
"Geez Earl, you're a kid to fall in love with" Amber said softly.
The Earl quickly shook his head. "No Mom, I promised not to date Angel, we were just friends. Can we go home now?" The Earl asked back, this time with a hopeful smile.
Lussy's laughter was heard, the cashier who was already very familiar with them couldn't help but laugh after hearing Earl's words. "Sebastian Earl, you're so adorable, can I be your lover when I grow up?" Lussy's Temptation on the Earl.
"Already Lussy, don't add to the words he will remember, I just don't know where my son found the word courtship," said Amber, shaking her head.
"Sorry Lussy, I promised I'd be Angel's friend until I grow up and we'd get married" Earl said casually.
Amber shook her head in panic, she cupped the two cheeks of the Earl. "There's no marriage for now baby, all you have to know is school and play" Amber said as if to keep Earl in mind.
"And help Aunty," added Earl.
Once again Amber took her breath in, she nodded. "Yes. All right, let's go home now, say goodbye to Lussy and Aunty."
Cheering euphorically from the Earl's mouth, he chuckled softly and ran excitedly towards Amanda who was sitting leisurely on the sofa by the window. "Aunty! Mom and I are going home!" Screaming Earl, he hugged Amanda suddenly making Amanda who was not ready to look at Amber confused.
"My little boy has to see his friend, we go home, see you at home" said Amber, taking her bag and jacket. He lightly ruffled Earl's hair and hugged Amanda at a glance.
"But it's still too late, have you called Sean to pick him up?" Ask Amanda.
Amber shook her head, "No, Earl and I will use the carriage" Amber replied.
After saying goodbye, they entered a taxi that would take them to the station, during the trip Amber just looked at Earl who was busy with 5 sweets in his hand, he moved the candy slowly. "So there's no candy you've eaten since, baby?" Ask Amber.
"No, Mom" replied the Earl.
"Good, don't eat too much sweet, you'll cry again like last year and lose your teeth" said Amber.
"Why not just bread?" Ask Amber.
"The bread is not cold" replied the plain Earl.
Amber chuckled, she rubbed Earl's hair softly. "You are good at answering all questions, wait here, mom will buy it" said Amber.
He walked in ordering a medium-sized vanilla ice cream and paid for it. His legs were slightly docked as the call of nature began to feel. Amber quickly walked up to Earl, "Honey, this is your ice cream, don't go anywhere, mom to the toilet for a second okay?"
"Okay Mom, I'll wait here."
"If this number is called, you go over there, and give me this money, buy 2 tickets." The Earl only nodded his head as Amber gave him a paper inscribed with numbers.

With his heavily covered clothes and the hat and glasses Carl wears, he is free to go anywhere alone, without fear of anyone recognizing him. And now, he is setting foot in a subway station, or better known as the London Underground. "Hallo sister, I miss Gerald and Sabrina" Carl said with one hand in his pants pocket and one hand holding his phone. Kenrich's voice began to argue when he learned Carl was already in London without telling him first.
After the short conversation was over, Carl's eyes could not be sidetracked at a child who had such a handsome face, the current-looking clothes made the child look like a model. "Hi little boy, why are you alone? Where's your mother?" the boy seemed to smile at Carl, while his hand held an ice cream that he once licked in this AC room.
"Mommy is going to the toilet, and I have to wait here so that our queue is not missed," a polite reply from a boy about 7-8 years old who again licked his ice cream. "Uncle why alone?" Ask the little boy back, making Carl chuckle softly.
"I'm an adult, I'm free everywhere alone. Oh yeah, your Mommy's not afraid to leave you here alone? What if you're kidnapped?"
The boy looked calm and raised his eyebrows, "Let's just calm uncle, my Mom says if I'm an expensive child, the expenses for me are very special, even my father was away working for a lot of money. Know it? He's an actor" whispered the boy slowly at the end of his sentence. "So, no one would dare to kidnap me, they would all think twice about it."
Carl's laughter exploded, the boy was apparently smart to joke around. "Waw, are you the son of an actor? What's your father's name? Who knows I know him."
Instead of answering, the boy seemed speechless and shrugged his shoulders, returning cool with the ice cream he was holding. "Mom never told me, Mom was afraid I was interrupting my dad's work, even I was always limited to watching television, always cartoons I could see," the answer left Carl puzzled. However, when a woman approached them, everything was answered, her heart seemed to stop and the anger that wanted to explode made her cramped instantly.
"Earl, has our number been called?" that voice! The woman he had been looking for was in front of him, a wife who had suddenly left to bring their child who was recovering from his illness. Heart leak. Yeah, well, it's worth it this kid calls himself an expensive kid, Carl now gets it.
"Two more Mom," Earl seemed to smile at Amber, they were so affectionate, hugging each other and Carl just realized something, Amber's hair color turned brown, and she was so fond of her, more beautiful and mature as before.
"Amber, you still know me?" carl asked in a heavy voice, refraining from attracting the woman and asking for an explanation with the crazy decision that had been tormenting her all along. Amber seemed oblivious, she stared confusedly at Carl. Hardening his jaw, Carl opened his hat and glasses, not caring about how many people in this place would recognize him.
Amber's face paled immediately. "You-" Amber pulled the Earl quickly, snapping the Earl at Amber, this was impossible! He's been away from Los Angeles and even out of America! What's a famous actor like Carl for at a station like this? How has it been since the news of the accident?
