Bryan looked around cautiously and said, "I'm not trying to run away. I just want to go upstairs to the restaurant to have a look. I plan on coming back."

Lilin became even more confused. "Why do you want to go upstairs to have a look?"

"You know I'm not Benjamin, right? Well, I heard my mommy's voice coming from upstairs, so I wanted to go see if she's upstairs."

Lilin was surprised. "She's here, too?!"

Bryan raised a finger to his lips as a sign for her to keep her voice down. "I'm not sure. That's why I wanted to go up and have a look! Can you cover me and let me go upstairs to take a look? I promise I'll be back real soon."

Lilin stroked her chin and thought for a while, then said decisively, "No."

Bryan frowned, a little disappointed. "Why not?"

"I've promised your father that I'd keep an eye on you and not let you run around alone."

Bryan pouted. "I won't run around; I'll just go up and take a look. If my mommy's not there, I'll come down right away!"

Lilin raised an eyebrow. "And what if she's there? Are you going to go home with her? How am I supposed to explain to your father then?"

"Uh... If I see my mommy, I promise I won't go home with her for the time being. Okay?"

"No! I always keep my word, and like I said, I've promised your father I'll take good care of you. I'm not going to let you go upstairs!"

Bryan became angry. "Hmph! I thought you were different from Sophia's family, but I didn't expect you to be the same as them. You have no empathy for other people's feelings. I'll never call you Aunt Lilin again!"

Lilin was amused by the sight of his cheeks puffed up in anger. "Hahaha! Am I supposed to be scared by your threat? I don't care if you don't call me Aunt Lilin again. It's not like I'll die if you don't call me that." Bryan glared at her. "You think you're so cool, don't you? Fine, I don't want to go to the restroom anymore. I'm going back to find my daddy!"

Lilin went up and pinched his little cheek. "Wait!"

Bryan slapped her hand away with a look of disgust. "What are you doing? Don't touch me since you're not willing to help me! It's not like we're close anyway!"

Lilin pinched him again. "Haha! You're cute even when you're angry! I didn't say I won't help you. I just said you can't run around by yourself."

Bryan was a little taken aback and looked at her suspiciously. "How are you going to help me?"

Lilin raised an eyebrow. "I can help you go upstairs to see if your mommy is there!"

Bryan frowned. "You don't even know my mommy, so how can you tell which one is her?"

It was true that Lilin did not know who Corinne was, but she had a strong feeling that she would be able to recognize her with just one look.

"I don't know her, but I know what you look like. I just have to look for a woman who looks like you."

Bryan thought that was a lousy plan. "I'm a boy and my mother is a woman, so we won't look that much alike!"

Lilin waved him off confidently. "Don't worry about it! We girls have a very accurate sixth sense. If your mommy is really upstairs, I'll definitely recognize her at a glance!"
