EuropeNovelIt's honestly hard to watch.
Axel pressed his lips together, looking like he'd rather be anywhere else, but when the little girl's face started to
crumple and she looked about to burst into tears, he caved. "Alright, let's go."
Instantly, Baby's mood did a 180-tears gone, replaced by a huge grin. She grabbed Axel's hand, bouncing in
place. "Thank you, Mr. Axel!"
She turned and called over her shoulder to Elysia, "Mom, I'm going with Mr. Axel to pick up Blossom!"
Elysia shot Axel a look of pure resignation. The whole world knew Blossom had a crush on Axel. Unfortunately,
Axel-like Keaton-was a hardcore bachelor.
Difference was, Keaton didn't believe in marriage, but he had no shortage of girlfriends.
Axel? He avoided relationships altogether. Didn't even flirt.
Elysia knew exactly what was going on-Blossom had probably roped Baby into matchmaking. She just waved
them off. "Go on, then."
Tarquin watched Axel with a knowing squint, secretly impressed with Blossom's tactics. If he'd asked Axel to go
pick up Blossom, Axel would've flat out refused. But with Baby asking? Axel was helpless.
Elysia, Tarquin, a few other kids, and family friends Clayton and Pamela all piled into the SUV for the ski resort.
Meanwhile, Axel started up his Jeep, buckled Baby into the back, and headed off to get Blossom.
They'd barely made it out of the driveway when Baby piped up, "Mr. Axel, call Blossom for me! | want to talk to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther."
Axel hesitated. "...I don't have her number."
"Call my mom, then! She'll give it to you. Mom has Blossom's number!" Baby insisted.
Axel paused, then, resigned, unlocked his phone and punched in a string of numbers. He handed the phone over.
Baby's eyes widened. "Wait, | thought you didn't have Blossom's number?"
Before Axel could respond, Blossom picked up. "Baby?"
"Hi Blossom!" Baby chirped.
"Hey, Baby! Why do you have Mr. Axel's phone?"
"We're together! Mr. Axel is weird," Baby announced.
"Huh?"
"He said he didn't have your number, but he just called you anyway."
Axel sighed.
Baby kept going, "Blossom, we're coming to pick you up. Don't forget to bringsomething yummy!"
Blossom sounded thrilled. "I've got it all ready! I'll wait for you at the preschool entrance."
"Here, you talk to Mr. Axel!" Baby chirped, shoving the phone into Axel's hand.
Axel didn't say a word-just hung up.
Buckled in her car seat, Baby stared at Axel. "Mr. Axel, why didn't you talk to Blossom? That's kinda rude,
y'know."
Axel struggled to explain. After a long pause, he finally muttered, "I don't like her, so | don't want to talk to her."
Baby's big eyes went even wider,
confused "How cyou don't like Blossom? We all love
Blossom-she's so nice! And she really likes you. She even said she wants to be your wife someday."
Axel's expression was frosty. "Don't listen to her nonsense."
Baby shook her head, all innocence. "It's not nonsense! Blossom's super serious. She said she'll have a bunch of
babies with you, and they'll callbig sis!"
