Coughing, she exclaimed, âWho told you that?â
Rosalynn patted her back.
âLyndon spilled the beans.
He said heâd proposed but got turned down.
â
Tilda was speechless.
âHe called that a proposal?â
Rosalynn blinked.
âYou think he wasnât sincere, so you said no?â
âYeah, no, heâ¦â
Tilda got all mixed up in her response.

Seeing Rosalynnâs teasing look, Tilda took a deep breath and said calmly, âIâve sworn off marriage, Rosa.
Thatâs the deal.
â
Really? She really wanted to make her go back on her word.
Rosalynn smiled but kept silent.
Sheldonâs adorable face crossed her mind.
She wished Sheldon could work harder.
Meanwhile, in a park, three pairs of fathers and sons were playing football.
Sitting on the steps, Sheldon rested his chin on his little hand, gazing at them with admiration.
He really wanted to kick a ball around.
Just then, a football rolled to a stop in front of Sheldon.
He blinked and walked down the steps, picking up the football in his hands.
A young boy, around six or seven years old, came running over, out of breath.
âHey, put that football down! Youâre so stupid.
Football is meant to be played with your feet, not your hands.
â
Sheldon felt hurt by the insult.
âYouâre the stupid one.
I wasnât playing football with my hands.
â
With that, he placed the football on the ground and kicked it away.
However, being small and not very strong, the football only rolled a short distance before stopping.
The boy, who was a bit chubby, crossed his arms and yelled, âI recognize you.
Youâre from my neighborhood.
My grandma told me youâre just an orphan with no parents.
Humph! No wonder youâre so stupid you canât even kick properly!â
Sheldonâs face turned red with anger at being called an orphan.
He balled up his small fists and shot back, âWho says I donât have parents? I do have parents!â
The boy scoffed, âYouâre lying! If you really have parents, then have your dad come play with us right now! If youâre lying, then act Like a dog and bark!â
Sheldon bit his lip and, after a moment, said, âMy dad is really busy with his work.
