Chapter 240: Your Dog Is So Small
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Faith is right next door. You can go over whenever you want.”
“No, we agreed with Faith to see who’s dog is bigger.”
Risfar was speechless. A child’s world was honestly impossible to understand.
Just then, a black Doberman ran out. It was the same age as Ronnie and Vera, but it was already really big. Its name was Laffer. Its parents all had pure lineages, especially its father. It had won a gold medal at a world dog contest. Its mother was the largest Doberman in the world.
Laffer was born with excellent genes. After maturing, its shoulder height was 80 centimeters tall and it weighed 50 kilograms. It was already bigger than other adult Dobermans.
It didn’t have its mother’s super height, but it was still a giant amongst giants.
“How big is that little Faith? You’re bullying her.”
“She’s not one yet, but she said Laffer is tiny. I don’t think so.”
“Yeah, yeah. Laffer is the biggest and coolest.”
Risfar felt that this was just bullying. He planned on visiting his neighbors to apologize. After all, his kids should be the older sisters. They couldn’t treat little kids like this.
Ronnie and Vera took Laffer into the yard to play. Risfar saw through the floor-to-ceiling window that they jumped into the pool while Laffer stood on land, panicking.
Laffer was scared of water. It hadn’t experienced it before, so it was afraid. Whenever it saw the two kids playing in the water, Laffer would bark but never dared to jump in.
The scene was laughable. This was another characteristic of Dobermans. They were friendly to humans.
Actually, dogs all knew how to swim. It was a natural ability.
“Manus, find out for me who’s living beside us.”
“Mr. Risfar, there’s no need. I’ve already checked before you moved in. Your neighbor is a playboy. He’s CAA’s stockholder, named Devon Dell. He’s 28 years old.”
Risfar changed his outfit and went to visit his neighbor. After all, he didn’t come just for Lora’s condition. He also planned on entering the American market.
He would live here for a long time, so socializing was necessary. At least, he hoped he wouldn’t have a bad relationship with his neighbors.
Risfar brought Ronnie and Vera along to the next-door neighbor. He rang the doorbell and a voice sounded from the machine. “Who is it?”
“Hello, is this Mr. Devon Dell? I’m Risfar. I just moved in next door and I hope to become acquainted.”
“Sure, the door’s open. Please come in… Faith, don’t put the corn snake in your mouth. You can’t eat it… Mary, please help me watch her.”
“Mr. Dell, please put the snake into the glass tank after you’re done playing,” Mary retorted. “Don’t toss it onto the sofa.”
Risfar grew nervous hearing that. He brought Ronnie and Vera into the manor. It was much smaller than his own, but the environment was nice. Just then, a tiny girl ran out of the mansion before him. She couldn’t be more than one year old, but she ran like the wind and had a huge snake in her hands.
A man chased after her. It was probably Devon Dell, along with Mary.
“Faith, don’t run so fast. Slow down, slow down… Be careful, you’ll fall.”
Risfar was even more nervous. This girl wasn’t the typical kind of strong.
“Ah…Ronnie, Vera…” Faith saw them and immediately sped up. She clutched the snake as if offering up a gift. “For you.”
The snake tried to escape from her hands, but Faith grabbed it tightly. Ronnie and Vera didn’t dare to accept it. Thankfully, Dell and Mary ran over now.
“Faith, don’t hurt the corn snake anymore. Don’t you see how pitiful it looks?”
Risfar composed himself and looked at Dell. “Hello, Mr. Dell.”
“Hello, Mr. Risfar.”
“Puppy, puppy, puppy!” Faith suddenly called at Laffer. “Come here!”
Faith waddled over, trying to grab Laffer, but the dog wriggled away and ran to Risfar’s side.
“Mr. Dell, do you have a dog too?”
“No.” Dell shook his head.
“Your daughter seems to really like dogs.”
“My friend has dogs. He brings his pets over when he visits and Faith always rides his dogs around.”
“Are his dogs big?”
“There are big and small ones.”
“No wonder. Ronnie and Vera came home saying that Faith wants to compete who’s dog is bigger tomorrow.”
“Really?” Dell turned around. “Faith, you want to compete with Ronnie and Vera? But you don’t have a dog.”
“I don’t, but Uncle does. White Ma, Black Ma, and Walter are mine. All mine!”
“Your uncle might not be free tomorrow.”
“It’s okay. Can we steal Black Ma, White Ma, and Walter?”
“But they might not be at home.”
Risfar waited patiently as the father and daughter spoke.
Back then, he’d been immersed in these kinds of conversations too. Conversations with kids were filled with youthfulness and imagination. He could understand how Dell felt while talking to Faith. There was joy and warmth.
“Mr. Risfar, don’t take kids seriously. There’s nothing to compete over.”
“It’s true. Laffer is the third biggest Doberman in the world. It’s truly unsuitable for kids to compete over.”
“I’m afraid your daughters will feel hurt.”
“You mean Laffer will lose?”
“Of course. Your dog’s named Laffer? He looks really small. I didn’t think Mr. Risfar would like to raise small dogs.”
“Laffer, small? I haven’t seen a dog bigger than him yet.”
“Then I guess you just haven’t seen enough. My friend’s three dogs are all bigger than Laffer. He’ll just be a puppy before him.”
“Then let’s compare tomorrow. I hope you can find a dog bigger than Laffer.”
It had only been a joke between kids, but it ended up as a competition between two competitive adults. As for the three kids, they’d already started playing, ignoring the two glaring adults.
It was like this had nothing to do with them.
