"You... You're going to stay with me?"
Beanie blinked his eyes innocently and said, "Can I, Auntie Vera?"
He had already told his great-grandfather, Jarold, that he would spend some time with Auntie Vera first, and then go back to spend some time with him.
As for Jarold, he hadn't returned to the country for a long time. He had his daughter, Abigail, to keep him company.
Although he didn't have Beanie accompanying him, he still had Abigail. Although she was still fierce and didn't have a good attitude towards him, her companionship was enough to make him satisfied.
"Of course, you can stay here as long as you want."
After that, Vera carried the luggage for Beanie, and then went upstairs with him.
Then she once again ran into Amelia next door who was so idle that she had nothing to do.
"Hey Vera, your friend's son is looking for you again?"
She nodded and smiled faintly, "Amelia."
"Hello, Madam Amelia."
Amelia looked at Beanie from head to toe. Finally, she moved her gaze to the small luggage bag in Vera's hand.
"This is?"
She hid the suitcase behind her back and said with a fake smile, "It's just a few things. Amelia, Maria is still waiting for you downstairs. Aren't you going to dance with her?"
Amelia noticed that Vera didn't intend to tell her anything. She muttered a few words and then left.
When Beanie came in, he was a little apprehensive.
"Auntie Vera, will Madam Amelia speak ill of you?" "What kind of bad things can she say about me?" Amelia couldn't just spread some false rumors and claim that it's the truth when it was a lie, could she? Moreover, Vera wasn't the kind of person who would care about what others thought about her. If she really cared about others' impressions of her, she wouldn't have become good friends with Minerva when everyone in the company was averse to her presence.
Beanie stood still and stretched out his two index fingers and pointed them at each other, then whispered, "Auntie Vera, maybe... I'd better go
back?"
Vera heard him, then paused and said, "What are you talking about? Do you think I care about what others say? You can stay here, and others can say whatever they want. I don't care about it, so there's no reason for you to worry about it."
After that, she brought him to the bathroom and then took his clothes for him.
"Alright, go take a bath, and then don't go to the hospital with me after dinner. Stay at home, watch TV for a while, and then go to sleep."
He was speechless at all these arrangements made in advance for him.
He didn't want to watch TV, nor did he want to go to bed so early.
Evil news rides fast, while good news baits later.
She didn't know if it was because of jealousy or something else.
The news that Vera took a child home spread through the whole city quickly.
Her parents had been living in this area for a long time, and most of the people who lived in this area had also been here since then, so most of them were old acquaintances.
Despite the fact that they were not on good terms, they would still smile and greet each other whenever they met. Then, they would begin to show themselves off, and continue to compete with each other.
After that, they would then return to their homes with a fake smile on their faces.
