My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 769

He was stunned for a moment and nodded silently.

Anne looked up at me and then at Pedro, "Sir, what holiday is it today?"

Pedro looked at her with gentle eyes, "It's New Year's Eve. It's the last day of each year."

Anne looked like she understood him and mumbled, "Does it mean that the whole family has to be together?"

Pedro nodded.

After thinking for a while, Anne looked at me. "Mommy, why isn't Grandpa and Uncle Aaron here?"

I smiled, surprised at her question. "Grandpa and Uncle Aaron are busy. Aunt Yana has just given birth to a baby, so she can't come out and has to stay home."

"When are we going to see the baby then?" Anne was talkative and liked to ask a lot of questions. Once she started, it was hard for her to stop.

Pedro answered each of her questions patiently. I got up and went to the kitchen. Nerissa was kneading dough and Hendrix was making dumplings while Valerie was washing vegetables.

When he saw me, Hendrix smiled. "Do you know how to do this?"

I nodded, walked to him and washed my hands before I started helping him make the dumplings. "Grandma taught me once when I was little."

Nerissa looked at me, "I thought you grew up in the south? Very few girls in the south know how to. Even the older generation there have no idea how to make dumplings. I remembered that when I was little, my mother didn't know how to either."

"Perhaps my grandma had been to many places. She would make a lot of dumplings and bread every New Year. Besides, she liked hot pot. She wasn't a fan of the southern dishes, so she ate most of the stewed dishes from the north."
