Rosalynn reveled in sheer delight, while Brianâs smile spread like sunshine as he found the little boyâs demeanor to be quite intriguing.
Gazing at the tender features of the child, he pondered, marveling at such an endearing little soul.
He couldnât help but wonder about the mystery shrouding the identity of the childâs parents.
Upon bidding farewell to Elma, the trio settled into the car.
With the absence of a childâs seat, Rosalynn sat in the back row alongside the little guy.
Brian resumed his role as the chauffeur, igniting the carâs engine before inquiring, âSheldon, can you tell me where your parents are?â
Sheldon swung his short legs and emitted a sigh that seemed beyond his years.
âGrandma Elma told me that my parents went far away.
Indeed, Iâm aware that I donât have parents.
â
Brian couldnât hide his surprise at the little boyâs words.
Rosalynn shared his surprise but also felt a pang of sympathy.
She was just about to offer some comforting words when the boy spoke again.
âLuckily, Iâve got Tilda and Grandma Elma, so Iâm not a pitiful boy at all.
â
The words that were about to come out of Rosalynnâs mouth turned into laughter.
The boyâs wise-beyond-his-years remarks were unexpectedly amusing.

As the car crawled along, she and the boy exchanged words now and then.
His innocent comments filled the journey with joy.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at Owmale Hotel.
That was when Rosalynn remembered to ask Brian.
âIs Lyndon here?â
After parking, Brian confirmed, âYes, heâs on a blind date with Miss Deleon.
â
Rosalynn blinked in surprise.
Lyndon, on a blind date? Then, why did Brian bring this little boy here? Was it just for amusement?
The boy, frowning, inquired, âMister, whoâs on a date?â
Brian stepped out of the car, opened the rear door, and lifted him out.
âYour favorite, Lyndon Fernandez,â he replied.
At this, the boyâs frown deepened.
âWhy does he have to go on a blind date?â
Brian explained, âHeâs not getting any younger.
Itâs time for him to find a lady and settle down.
â
Sheldon fell silent, his lips pressed together in a clear sign of discontent.
Rosalynn approached and gazed at his little face.
âWhatâs the matter?
Donât you want Lyndon to have a girlfriend?â she asked.
âI really like him.
Tilda said she only liked me and asked me to wait for her to grow up.
But I think itâs too hard for her to take care of me and Grandma Elma alone.
I want Mr.
Fernandez to be Tildaâs boyfriend.
â Sheldonâs voice was small, almost a whisper.
