Lilin was brought back to her table by the waiter.
"Hello. Your little girl lost her way upstairs! It was a good thing she didn't run into the traffic outside."
Melinda was surprised when she saw the waiter bringing back her daughter, and she became embarrassed. She smiled sheepishly at the waiter and said, "Thank you! Sorry for causing you trouble!" The waiter bowed very politely and said, "You're welcome. I'm just doing my job."
After saying that, he left them to finish their dinner.
After the waiter left, Melinda pulled her daughter and lectured her, "Lilin, what's the matter with you? Why did you run upstairs?"
"I... I was curious to see what's upstairs," answered Lilin with a pout.
Bryan-who was sitting next to Jeremy-glanced at Lilin guiltily, fearing she would betray him.
"I swear to god, that curiosity will be the death of you someday! How could you sneak upstairs without telling us? What if you meet a bad guy?" scolded Melinda.
"Mom! I'm not a little kid anymore! I can tell who's bad and who's good! Plus, there are more good people in the world than the bad!"
Melinda frowned. "Why, you little brat. Why are you becoming more rebellious?"
Adam put down his utensils and lectured his daughter on behalf of his wife, "Lilin, your mother's right! You'll never know who's really a bad person. Do you know that bad people like to kidnap and hurt little girls of your age because you're the easiest to lie to?!"
Lilin rolled his eyes at his father. "I'm not stupid, so I won't be deceived so easily! Anyway, I didn't meet a bad person today. In fact, I met a really nice person!"
Alarm bells immediately rang inside Melinda and Adam's minds when they heard the word 'really nice person'.
