Hard To Say Goodbye

Chapter 56 Accompany To See The Monkeys

Once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of the well rope for ten years. Now, Hal was focused on his

work and ignored women. No matter how his parent forced him, he would not go on a blind date.

Whether the team could work or not totally depended on the leader. In this quarter, the performance of

Hal's board of directors was the best, surpassing the record high of all the years. The subordinates

were very happy to receive benefits during festivals.

Looking at Hal's efforts, Howard and his wife also felt sorry for him. It was also a mistake for them to

interfere in their son's marriage, but it had always been like this for the children's marriage in the group.

But now it was their son's turn to be like this. Slowly, their son was like an enemy to them.

Hal was a filial child. He didn't want to see his parents unhappy, but he was afraid to go back home.

They asked him to go on a blind date, so he simply took the busy work as an excuse and rarely went

home.

Nora was also very busy these days and hadn't spent days with little Hugh. On Sunday, she promised

to take little Hugh to the zoo to see the little monkeys.

"If there's nothing important this Sunday. I want to ask for a day off to accompany little Hugh to the zoo.

He wants to see the little monkeys."

"It doesn't matter. Let's go together. How about I drive you and little Hugh to the zoo to see the little

monkeys? Anyway, I have nothing to do."

Last time when she went back to her hometown, she asked Murphy to send her back. She felt sorry for

him. This time, she didn't want to bother him to go to the zoo, so she took little Hugh to the zoo by bus

or taxi.

Noticing her concern, he said, "If you feel sorry, you can invite me to dinner after going to the zoo on

Sunday to thank me."

'When did he learn how to guess what am I thinking? It's not easy for him. I've been in Beijing for a long

time. Except for going to work and sending children, I haven't gone to any places to play. I really don't

know where the zoo is.'

What's more, she took Hugh by bus and waited for a taxi. What if he fell asleep and couldn't wait for the

taxi? What if he caught a cold? After thinking for a long time, she agreed with him to go to the zoo with

them and invite him to have dinner.

Nora was a thoughtful woman. She was very considerate in everything. It might be a good thing to think

about it and avoid many regretful things.

On Sunday, as soon as the dawn broke, Murphy woke up and went out with Nora. He was so excited

that he couldn't fall asleep. He woke up several times a night.

Finally, it was dawn. After washing himself carefully, he looked at himself in the mirror. He smiled

confidently.

The weather was good and he was in a good mood.

Murphy drove his beloved car all the way to the home of Nora.

Kindness was the nature of children, and children's words were the purest. When little Hugh saw

Murphy coming, he happily ran to him, held his hand and said, "Hello, uncle Murphy."

When Murphy was with little Hugh, he was very happy and didn't feel depressed at all. And little Hugh

also liked him very much and didn't feel strange with him at all.

Looking at the two men in front of her who were talking so happily, she thought, 'What a tragedy! There

are too many coincidences in the world.'

After tidying up the room and filling a large glass of water for little Hugh, she took his hand and went

downstairs with him.

Beijing was only a small city. They arrived at the zoo in a short time. As soon as they got off the car,

little Hugh mumbled, "I want to see the little monkeys. I want to see the little monkeys."

Murphy hugged him and comforted, "Don't worry. We have to entered the zoo one by one and line up.

If you are in a hurry, the aunt in the zoo won't let the little monkeys out."

As expected, little Hugh was quiet after hearing what he said. There were giraffes, peacocks, camels

and many other small animals in the zoo, but she didn't see the little monkeys.

Following the guide post, they turned two corners and walked north for a while. They saw the nimble

figure of the little monkeys, jumping happily and having no leisure for a moment.

At a corner, Murphy bought several banana and a bag of peanuts for little Hugh. He asked him to feed

the little monkeys. What a considerate man he was!

Seeing this, Nora kept it in mind. She didn't expect that Murphy would think of it first. He bought

banana and peanuts to feed the little monkeys, which proved that he was an affectionate man.

When they arrived at the place where they visited the little monkeys, many little monkeys were

surrounded by a big iron railing. Murphy handed a banana to little Hugh and asked him to feed the little

monkeys.

When he saw the little monkeys, he was so happy that he danced happily like a little monkey in the iron

fence.

There were several little monkeys jumping up and down in the room. They were very cute. Little Hugh

looked at Nora and asked, "Mommy, Mommy, what are those two little monkeys doing?"

Following the direction pointed by little Hugh, she saw a monkey helping another monkey catching lice.

Nora said, "It doesn't listen to its mother. He doesn't take a shower. His body is dirty. His mother is

catching lice for him."

"I'll listen to mom. I'll take a shower every day. You don't have to work hard to catch the lice for me,"

said little Hugh, confused.

Hearing what little Hugh said, Nora was very relieved. She thought in her heart, 'How sensible a child

is! He knows how to love me. No matter how tired I am, it's worth it.'

The little Hugh took the banana and threw it in. In a twinkling of an eye, several little monkeys

scrambled for it. The little monkey who got the banana held the banana in victory, while the little

monkey who didn't get the banana scratched his ears and cheeks dejectedly. It was so cute.

Seeing that the little monkey was so busy, jumping up and down, little Hugh giggled. He was happy,

and Nora was happy, which was the biggest wish of being a mother.

Little Hugh grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw it in. "Little monkeys, come here. You have peanuts

to eat."

At this moment, little Hugh held the hand of Murphy and asked, "Uncle, uncle, what are those little

monkeys doing?"

In fact, it was just a few little monkeys playing. Murphy told him, "It's a little monkey who is full and

chatting with its parents in the sun."

His words made her heart ache suddenly. The wound was torn again. She covered it with her hand and

didn't want others to touch it.

"Mom, dad has gone far away. When will he come back? I want to chat with him as well" said little

Hugh.

Bearing the pain, she tried her best not to let him see her sadness. She told little Hugh, "He will come

back very soon, you're still young. When you grow up, dad will come back."

"Okay, I'll study hard and eat well. I'll grow up soon and dad will come back when I grow up."
