Mr. Waltson, Refrain Yourself

She hurried to the restaurant as soon as the class was over.

The food had already been ordered by  Nicky Enderson.

Nicky Enderson questioned her as she sat down, “Are you tired?”

She drank water in two mouthfuls. “I was merely teaching what was already clear in my thoughts as I sat there. Why am I getting tired?”

“Little girl, you always only say the good news.”

“I’m not in pain. Brother, don’t always believe that I’m the only pathetic person in the world. I’m not too bad.” She ate heartily while wearing a smile.

Eat more slowly; no one will grab with you about it.

She chuckled. “You won’t be able to win. I’ll eat them all.”

“Eat each one of them, then. I’ll offer you the menu if it isn’t sufficient. See how skinny you are. Your mother would be unhappy if she were still alive.”

She sighed when he brought up her mother. “Brother, don’t.”

“Okay, I won’t say anything further. Simply eat.”

Nicky Enderson kept on putting more food in Luna ‘s plate. They exchanged glances before laughing.

Then, right in front of them, a shadow materialized and obscured their field of vision.

Her appetite vanished the moment she turned around and saw the woman seated next to her.

Belle , why are you here? said Nicky Enderson as they got to their feet.

“Brother. You arrived from abroad and came over to visit the bastard first without care about your sister. How could you do that?”

“Be quiet.”

“Am I mistaken? You treat her so lovingly despite the fact that she is a bastard and our mother’s shame.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Be respectful when you say, Belle , Nicky Enderson severely commanded.

Belle yelled: “Come on, Nicky Enderson’. I’m your sister. You yelled at me on the other person’s behalf.”

“You’re really impolite. Take a look at your inarticulate language.”

“Uneducated? When I consider how my mother was made fun of by others, I want to kill her. But out of charity, I refrained from doing that.”

Luna rose up and looked at Belle while clenching her fist.

“Please be respectful when you speak, Miss Enderson. First of all, since I don’t have a father, please refrain from discussing yours with me. In addition, I have never eaten a single piece of bread from your Enderson’s family or spent a dime of your family’s money. I have never asked you folks for money, not even when my mother was sick and needed it to save her life.”

Belle ‘s face embarrassed as she said, “Your existence was an embarrassment.”

“Your idea, not mine, is that. Being my mother’s daughter makes me proud.”

After taking a big breath, Luna reached into her bag, pulled out the $1, 000 she had kept there for just such an occasion, and set it down on the dining room table. She said, “Pay the tab!” before turning around and walking away.

“Luna, listen to me, Belle ,” shouted Nicky Enderson as they caught up with her after a short distance.

“Brother, please stop talking. I don’t want to look insensitive. I’m returning home. Later, I’ll call you.”

Her eyes were moist with tears. She gave him a short smile before removing her wrist and walking away.

Are you satisfied now, Nicky Enderson demanded as they whirled around to face Belle .

He followed her out of the eatery.

After a few hundred meters of strolling alongside the street, Luna stopped and sat down on the curb.

She enjoyed seeing the traffic because she envied those who had places to go.

I miss you, mom. I miss you.

Wills Waltson glanced through the snarled traffic and caught a glimpse of Luna Greenwich .

He stared at her for ten minutes because the car had been stalled there for ten minutes.

She didn’t move, her head bowed as she stared at the ground like a frozen puppet.

He walked approaching her after opening the door.

Before her eyes were a pair of black leather shoes. She frowned while lifting her tear-stained face.
