Chapter 658

Chapter 658

Janie and Claire, mother and daughter, both turned around at the same time and saw behind them a tall, slender elderly man who looked to be in his fifties. Despite his age, he had a commanding and dignified presence, and he was frowning as he looked at the mother and daughter.

Claire was stunned.

Janie tilted her head, looking at him again and again.

Then, Janie cried out in delighted surprise: "Is that you? Are you Felix?"

Felix's eyes widened in surprise.

"You are..." Felix's tone softened a bit. He thought, anyone who could call out his name must be an old friend.

An old friend from long ago.

And they must have had a good relationship.

"I'm Janie!" The fifty-something Janie's voice became as playful as a little girl's.

Janie?

Felix looked thoughtful.

"You know..." Janie gestured two pigtails on her head.

Felix remained silent.

"The first time I met you, you were already eighteen, but I was only six. Janie sat on my uncle's shoulders and was only half a head taller than you. You fed Janie cotton candy. Don't you remember?"

Felix's eyes lit up.

Then, he said in an almost jubilant tone: "You're that little girl?"

In his mind, she was still that six or seven-year-old, or seven or eight-year-old, and later eleven or twelve-year-old little girl.

When she was little, the girl was like a little princess.

Back then, the Windsor family and the Jones family had a very good relationship and were very close.

The Windsor family had a thriving household, but there were many more boys than girls.

Alice, the only girl in the Windsor family, had been sent abroad by her father Marcus to boarding school early on. So in the Windsor family home, you couldn't hear a chattering little girl.

Once, the Windsor family held a banquet.

To be clear, that banquet was a matchmaking party for Felix, who had just turned eighteen and come of age.

The banquet was quite grand. The girls from Pariz and Sunwillow City, aged fourteen to twenty, who came to attend could have formed an entire girls' school.

Felix at that time was a bit green, but with that look of a noble young master who looked down on everything, that attitude of superiority, he really seemed like an emperor from ancient times.

Incredibly noble!

Incredibly high and mighty.

This made all the rich young ladies who came to be selected, whether older or younger, behave properly, as if afraid of being rejected.

However, there was one exception.

At the banquet, there was a five or six-year-old little girl dressed in a classical princess-style dress.

The little girl was beautiful and adorable.

Her voice was sweet and soft.

Her laughter echoed throughout the banquet hall, very pleasant to hear.

The little girl would ask from time to time: "Uncle and Auntie, today's banquet is so big, bigger than any birthday party Janie has ever had."

"Of course," young Declan said to Janie with a gentle smile. "Today is very important for your brother Axiong."

"Why?"

"Because your brother Axiong is an adult now. From now on, he needs to find a girlfriend. Today is just the beginning."

"So, are all these older sisters here for brother Axiong to choose from?" Janie asked in a sweet childlike voice.

Declan said: "Not entirely, because it's a two-way choice. For example, if your brother Axiong likes a girl, that girl also has to like your brother Axiong. But generally speaking, if your brother Axiong likes someone, that girl should also like your brother Axiong."

"Why?" Janie asked her uncle innocently.

"Because your brother Axiong is very handsome. Your brother Axiong is a prince."

As he said this, Felix happened to be standing right behind Declan.

Actually, eighteen-year-old Felix was very unhappy that his family was holding such a banquet for him.

Whether he was choosing other women or other women were choosing him, he didn't want either.

Because he was too young.

Because he didn't want an arranged marriage.

Eighteen-year-old Felix still wanted to have fun for a few more years.

So he was unhappy!

Although there were many beautiful and elegant ladies present, Felix didn't like any of them.

But this little girl having a conversation with her uncle made Felix find her very amusing.

So sweet and soft, how nice.

He also had a younger sister, a few years older than this little girl, but she was abroad.

"Uncle, I want to see what brother Axiong looks like. Where is brother Axiong?" The little girl clamored to see the handsome guy.

"Right here." Felix's gentle voice came from behind.

Janie and Declan both turned around at the same time.

They saw Felix in a well-fitted suit, tall and slender, with delicate features and a youthful air.

"Wow, such nice legs." Janie could only see Felix's legs. Even when she looked up, she could only see Felix's chin.

Felix was silent.

"I want to see brother Axiong's face." The little girl said coquettishly.

Declan at that time really doted on Janie. He bent down and lifted Janie up to sit on his shoulders.

This way, Janie could easily see Felix.

"Brother Axiong, you're really handsome."

Felix pinched Janie's nose, then reached out to unwrap some cotton candy and handed it to her.

"Brother Axiong, do you have a sister you like?"

Felix shook his head: "No."

"With so many beautiful sisters here, you don't like any of them?" The little girl tilted her head, looking at Felix in confusion.

"Yes, there are many beautiful sisters, but brother Axiong happens to like a little girl, but this little girl is too young." Felix pinched Janie's nose again.

"Who is the little girl?"

"You."

The little girl actually blushed: "Hehe."

"Will brother Axiong wait for you to grow up?"

"Okay, how many days until I grow up?"

"It will take more than ten years!"

"Then I'll go back and eat more. I want to grow up in one year."

Children's innocent words are truly healing.

That little girl who appeared at the banquet was the happiest thing Felix encountered at the party.

Later, Felix often saw the little girl at the Jones family home.

Whenever he saw her, he would definitely buy her gifts, treating her like his own little sister.

Until later, Felix met his true love Sierra, and the two went abroad to study together, came back to get married and have children, and inherited the Windsor Group.

And Janie gradually grew up, went to school, and studied.

The two never met again.

Now, in the blink of an eye, forty or fifty years had passed.

Felix at this time was already in his sixties, and Janie was already in her early fifties.

Unexpectedly, the two could meet here.

Moreover, what Felix never expected was that even though that little girl from back then had now become a fifty-year-old woman, she still had her charm and maintained her figure extremely well.

Like a glamorous forty-year-old woman.

Felix couldn't help but feel emotional about meeting an old friend: "Janie, what happened to you two? You just mentioned Elizabeth. What did that woman do to you?"

"Did she frame you?" Felix added another sentence.
