Now that the plan was determined, Bonnie and Anna left separately.
Bonnie went to the kindergarten to pick up her three children. She had half an hour before school was over, and
Bonnie went to a supermarket nearby to buy some snacks for her children.
Just as she turned around, she heard someone calling her name.
It was Rupert.
"Hello, Mr. Robertson," Bonnie greeted him politely.
Rupert was beaming a bright and charming smile at her. "Miss Annie, I just opened a restaurant nearby. Would you
come and take a look at it?"
"No, thanks. I have to bring my kids home," Bonnie declined.

"Joanna will be there too. She won’t be happy if she eats along. Please do me a favor!"
Bonnie changed her mind and agreed upon hearing that Joanna would also be there.
But on one condition.
"Can you answer my question if I agree to go?" Bonnie asked.
Rupert nodded immediately. "Please go ahead."
Bonnie fixed her bright eyes on Rupert. "What happened to Joanna’s elder brother?"
Bonnie hadn’t pursued Natan’s past recently, but that didn’t mean she had given up on him.
That was her son, and she would take him away with her!
However, Bonnie didn’t know that Rupert was waiting for that question.
He squinted his narrowed eyes and sized up Bonnie, saying in a soft voice, "Well, he went to somewhere."
"Where exactly?" Bonnie asked.
Rupert spread his hands and replied innocently, "I’ve already answered your question, and that’s the second one.
You may ask that question again when I ask a favor of you next time."
He was playing the fox now!
But Bonnie was upset, but she could do nothing with him.
Soon, school was over, and Bonnie and Rupert took them to the restaurant nearby.
The speciality of Rupert’s new restaurant was to serve local dishes. His restaurant was decorated in a vintage and
80s style, but it looked classy at the same time.
"Just order whatever you want to eat." Rupert passed the menu to her.

The two little girls, who had swapped their identities, knit their brows the moment they smelled the juice, grumbling,
"What’s that?"
The juice gave off a disgusting smell.
"Well, this is our speciality, nutritious vegetable juice. I think it’s cilantro juice," replied Rupert.
He pushed the glass to Erika with a smile as he spoke. "Isn’t cilantro your favorite, Joanna? Have a taste."
Erika, who was living Joanna’s life now, wished she could spill the juice on Rupert’s face.
Was the juice drinkable?
She could die!
"Why don’t you have a taste?" Rupert urged, sizing her up secretly. "That was your favorite. Why do you suddenly
act like a different girl?"
"I…" Erika got so nervous that her chubby palms were sweaty.
What should she do now? If she said she hated cilantro now, would she give the game away?
