GoodNovelChapter 1558 That evening, Corinne went to fetch the kids from the kindergarten as usual.
While waiting for the automatic gate to open, a man holding cartoon balloons walked past their car.
Christine's eyes immediately lit up when she saw the cartoon balloons.

Corinne looked up from her phone, and a hint of doubt flashed across her face when she saw the balloon seller outside her window.
However, she still agreed to Christine's request. "Sure. You three can each choose one." "Thank you, Mommy!" said the three kids in unison.
After that, they all got out of the car to choose the balloon they liked. Even though they were just outside the mansion, Corinne made sure she kept her eyes on the kids.
While the kids were choosing their balloons, she looked the balloon seller up and down. The balloon seller was a man around the age of 40, and she did not find anything odd about him.
He smiled kindly at the kids and asked them what balloon they wanted.
Very quickly, the three kids finished selecting their balloons, and they were all smiles as they held their balloons.
"How much do | need to pay you for the balloons?" Corinne asked the balloon seller.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It's two dollars each, so the total is six dollars." "Okay." Corinne took out her phone. "Where should | scan?" The balloon seller was a little taken aback. "Can you payEdcash? | forgot to bring the QR code withtoday," he said awkwardly.
Corinne did not have any cash on her. "It's fine. You can just use the one on your phone." "Umm... Sorry, but I've forgotten to bring my phone too. It's still best to pay in cash..." Corinne frowned and looked at the balloon seller with suspicion in her eyes. After that, she asked Joey to take the other two kids into the mansion compound first.
She then went to borrow scash from the driver to pay the balloon seller.
While the balloon seller was counting out change, Corinne narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is this your first tselling balloons?" The balloon seller stopped counting for a second. He then gave Corinne four dollars back in change. "Yeah. | was recently let go by my company, and it's hard to find a new job at my age. | thought I should sell balloons until | find a new job. Sorry for being so unprepared. You have no idea how nervous | am." 1 "Don't worry about it. All the best yeah," said Corinne as she took the change. She then walked into the mansion compound.
Francine, all dolled up, was just on her way to a date when she bumped into Corinne.
She looked at the balloon seller, who was walking away, and asked Corinne, "Why would a balloon seller be selling his balloons here?" Corinne turned around and glanced at the balloon seller once more. "You think it's weird too, right?" Even though their mansion was not located in a gated community, there would rarely be vendors peddling their wares there.
"Yeah, it's weird. Maybe someone told him we have three kids here, so he thought he'd try his luck in earning smoney."
