My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup novel Chapter 1257

From a young age, Mia received much praise for her cuteness from countless people. However, it was the first time she got complimented with such a tone and expression.

"Thank you," she responded softly. "You're also very beautiful. Your eyes remind me of a little fox I once saw."

Ottilie instinctively raised her hand and touched her eyes.

Frankly speaking, she had never really interacted with other kids.

For as long as she could recall, she had either been on the run or on the verge of it.

Life had only become a bit more stable in the past half-year or so. She and her father found a hiding place and settled down in a quiet countryside in Ichinac.

For a while, they experienced a somewhat regular life.

However, the village was mostly inhabited by elderly people and a few drunkards.

There were no other children around.

"In the future, Ottilie will also attend classes here," Athena gently said to Mia. "You should look out for her."

"No problem!" Mia replied confidently, patting her chest.

Ottilie glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Upon seeing that, Athena didn't force them to interact.

She held Mia's hand and noticed that it was black from coming into contact with pencil lead.

In the past, Jaxson or Alice would sharpen Mia's pencils every day, which she would bring to school.

But recently, Mia felt it wasn't right.

She wanted to do things on her own, so she learned to sharpen her own pencils.

So, her tiny hands were always black.

Athena took out a wet wipe and gently cleaned her hands. "What were you talking to Paul about earlier?"

"I wanted Paul to come over and play at our place, but he said he's very busy." Mia sighed. "Mommy, does Paul not have money? I overheard the teacher saying that he didn't focus on his studies and worked as a private tutor. But isn't tutoring something only adults can do?"
