Lucille took root in Steve's house and asked about Steve's well-being every day, trying her best to get close to Steve.
Since she tried to seduce him that night, Steve had no feelings for her. He did not like such a woman.
Due to the fact that he had promised Tracey that he had to try to get along well with Lucille for a month, he was also too embarrassed to chase Lucille away.
As for Lucille, it was unknown how she managed to go through half a month while the only two people in the house acted as if she didn't exist.
They had been eating at restaurants for half a month. On the way home, Steve asked, "Thirza, do you dislike Aunt Robles very much?"
"What makes you say that? Aunt Robles is gentle and beautiful. How could I not like her?"
"Didn't you not allow me to even talk with her these past few days because you didn't like her?"
Although Steve was very fond of Thirza, he could also feel Thirza's special possessiveness towards him.
She didn't eat at home every day since Lucille came, nor did she let Lucille wash clothes for her. It didn't seem like she liked her.
"I just don't think that the woman and you are a good match." Thirza lowered her head and looked at her shoes.
"Little girl, what do you know about a match?" Steve felt that her words were very funny. How could a little girl understand such a thing?
She raised her head and said seriously, "Of course I know. It's just like when daddy and mommy are standing together, they are pleasing to the eye. Aunt Rose and Uncle Caesar are a good match, but Aunt Robles doesn't deserve you."
"Oh? Does it mean I have to get your permission when I want to marry someone, see if she matches me?"
"Steve, do you have to get a girlfriend now? When I grow up, I can be your girlfriend."
"You are still too young to understand this. Anyway, since you don't like her, she'll be out of the house in a couple of days, just like I promised your mother."
Thirza had no choice but to say, "All right..."
Seeing that a month had almost passed, Lucille became anxious as well. She had basically done nothing between herself and Steve yet.
She felt that the biggest problem between Steve and her was Thirza. Every time she wanted to get closer to Steve, Thirza would come out.
It seemed that if she wanted to get Steve, she would have to work her way around Thirza.
"Thirza, do you wanna go to the amusement park tomorrow?"
"Okay, Steve can take me there." Thirza liked the amusement park the most.
"He's got an important meeting coming up tomorrow, and I will take you there."
Thirza was a little disappointed. "All right then."
The next morning, Steve drove them to the amusement park first. "Miss Robles, please take good care of Thirza.
Thirza is quite the little monkey. You've got to keep an eye on her lest she runs away.
She likes all her things thrilling but the things here are too dangerous for her. So just let her ride the merry-go-round.
She likes sweet stuff. She's gonna ask you to buy her ice cream and marshmallow soon. But she can have at most one ice cream.
You know how much sugar they put in that thing. It's not good for her teeth and her stomach."
Steve went on and on as if he was never going to see Thirza again, which made Lucille looked a bit
annoyed.
"Mr. Xiao, don't worry. I have been with kids before. I know what to do."
"Alright then, bye."
Thirza waved reluctantly to him, she said, "Steve, I'll see you later."
"Well, be good, Thirza, and behave yourself."
"Okay, Steve, kiss." Thirza and Steve would kiss each other's cheek every time they parted.
Lucille watched the two of them acting in the most normal way between a father and a daughter but an inexplicable sense of jealousy arose in her heart.
