The warm sun was shining obliquely outside the window.
Dora was lying on her stomach on the sofa, watching cartoons while stuffing potato chips in her mouth.
Gallon leaned against the kitchen door, watching the residue fall from her mouth onto the sofa, feeling sorry for his sofa.
“Why did you bring her here again?”
Claire sat on the chair and took a sip of the soda. “She followed me here.”
Gallon narrowed his eyes and pondered. “Don’t you think she is suspicious? She looks like Hunter so much, especially the eyes. Tusk… you gotta be careful.”
“OK.” Claire responded casually.
“Actually I have investigated her.”
Hearing what Gallon said, Claire raised her eyes and looked at him. “What then?”
Gallon spread his hands. “Nothing was found.”
“Nothing?” Claire was a little surprised.
“Yes, I can’t find the least information about her. It’s like she doesn’t even exist. It’s weird, isn’t it?”
Claire turned her eyes to the girl on the sofa, and a gleam of doubt flashed across her keen eyes.
Dora puffed her cheeks. “Uncle Miller, I can hear you!”
“…”
In the evening, after finishing dinner, Claire took Dora away.
Dora stroked her round belly and smiled. “Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle Miller!”
Gallon rubbed his temple. This darn girl gave him a headache.
It was rush hour, so the bus was full of people. Claire grabbed Dora’s collar and took her to squeeze into the bus.
Dora was excited. “This is the first time I’ve ever taken a bus. It’s so fun!”
The others in the bus cast strange glances at her.
Claire said deadpan. “Shut up.”
“OK…”
The bus moved forward slowly, and the surroundings were a little noisy.
At this moment, a man suddenly yelled and rummaged in his pocket. “Where is my wallet?!”
The others just glanced at him indifferently and didn’t care.
Suddenly, the man grabbed Dora violently. “You thief! Return my wallet!”
Claire was the first to react. She grabbed the man’s wrist and exerted some strength.
“Ouch…” The man’s face was distorted with pain.
Claire said coldly, “Let go!”
His bones were about to be crushed. The man had to let go of Dora.
Claire immediately blocked Dora behind her.
The man clutched his wrist and yelled. “Thieves! Two female thieves. Instead of studying hard at school, you two are stealing!”
Claire frowned and anger almost burst out of her deep dark eyes.
“Do you have any evidence?”
The man pointed at Dora. ” She was standing next to me just now. Who else can steal my wallet except for her?”
Dora poked her head out and waved her hand. “It’s not me. I don’t lack money!”
The man showed a fierce look, trying to intimidate Claire and Dora. “Shut up! Give my wallet back. Or I’ll beat you!”
Claire tilted her head and smiled at him. “You can have a try.”
The man was a bit scared by her wicked smile.
“Can you stop quarreling?” The driver stopped the car at a bus stop. “Get off. Then you can take your time to quarrel!”
After being driven out of the bus by the driver, the man took out his cell phone and called the police. “I’m gonna call the police and arrest you!”
Dora was still hiding behind Claire and said softly, “I didn’t steal his wallet.”
Claire nodded and said nothing.
Soon, a police car came and took them to the police station.
As soon as they walked in, they saw a few punks quarreling inside, kicking and smashing chairs, almost assaulting the police, and some old women and men were yelling and shoving each other.
