Chapter 5 Gretel Meets Mark Pattinson

Eventually, all items were purchased.

Lyla turned to her daughter and said, “All done, Gretel. We’re done shopping and it’s time to go back!”

“Mummy, I still want to buy something!” said Gretel.

Lyla nodded and said, “Okay, but be quick about it. Your elder brother is still waiting for us at home!”

Gretel nodded and ran off to the place she had in mind.

When she found something that she liked and wanted, it was too high up and out of reach.

That being said, it was not a problem for her.

She turned towards a couple who were doing their own shopping and approached them. With confidence and the confidence that different genders attract, while the same repelled, she went for the man and caught his hand.

“Uncle, could you please help Gretel take something?”

Mark Pattionson was doing his own shopping when he felt someone catching his hand. He turned around and saw a petite little girl no higher than his waist, looking at him with such cute eyes.

Something about the look in her eyes inexplicably caught his attention.

He had seen many beautiful little childrens but not many were so spirited, beautiful, the kind that sparked endearing sentiments.

“Are you talking to me?” Mark arched an eyebrow and asked. His handsome, charming look, followed by his symmetrical complexion exuded nothing but the aura of a handsome man.

When Gretel saw his face, her jaw dropped…

Kathleen Turner looked on from the side. And when she saw the little girl in front of her, she said, “I’m sorry but we’re going now!”

She turned to Mark Pattinson and said, “Mark, let’s go!”

“Please wait!” Gretel said hurriedly.

“Uncle, you wouldn’t be that heartless, would you?” said Gretel, pouting her lips.

Mark Pattinson smirked. Inexplicably, he compromised and worked with her.

“Alright then, what do you want?”

Gretel smiled immediately.

“That one! On the top! The strawberry flavored fruit jelly!”

Mark went ahead and reached for the box of helly and handed it to Gretel.

“There you go.”

“Thank you, uncle! You’re so kind and handsome. I’m sure you will be very happy!” said Gretel with a sickly sweet smile.

“Well, thanks!” Marked replied and smiled in return.
