George silently sighed in relief by his side.
……
After Adina picked up her kids, she drove to the Xavier family’s mansion.
There would be a family gathering in the Xavier family's mansion every Friday. As such, Adina purposely chose to go over on Thursday.
Only Mdm. Xavier and Ethan would be there. Dinner was ready in the dining room when she got there.
“Great Grandma, Uncle Ethan.”
Alden held Melody’s hand and walked inside before he greeted them obediently.
Mdm. Xavier stroked the kids’ heads and smiled at them lovingly. “Alden is looking more handsome by the day, and Mel is also getting prettier.”
“Grandma, please don’t compliment them too much,” Adina said helplessly. “Alden used to be a reserved boy. But ever since he joined preschool, his teachers, classmates, and other parents have been complimenting his good looks. He’s become very proud now.”
Alden blushed. “Mommy, I’m not proud.”
“Yeah, you’re not proud. You just flaunt your handsomeness more shamelessly!” Adina laughed and pinched his cheek.
Alden immediately avoided his mother’s hand.
He had to show off a little so that the girls in class would like him.
If the girls liked to play with him, his sister would not have to sit alone in the corner.
But Alden would never tell Adina about that.
Mdm. Xavier was old, and she did not have a good appetite, so Adina purposely went to the kitchen and cooked some tomato soup for her.
“Addy, it’s a shame that you don’t have a restaurant with your cooking skills.” By the time Mdm. Xavier finished eating, her forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. “If you ever come around to the idea, I’ll invest in you.”
Adina smiled faintly. “If you’d like, I could come over and prepare dinner for you every day.”
