Sabrina smiled. "You little thing, you miss your Daddy?"
"Yeah, Mommy, don't you miss Daddy? You can’t fall asleep without Daddy hugging you for even a day!" Aino teased her mother.
Deep down, Sabrina’s heart was bleeding, but on the surface, she still smiled and said, "You little thing, you know me so well!"
"Of course!"
"But tonight is Grandma's birthday, so no matter how much I miss Daddy, I should spend the day with Grandma," Sabrina said.
Aino said, "Oh, today is Grandma's birthday?"
Sabrina nodded. "Grandma has worked so hard her entire life and lived as a beggar for years, so she never truly celebrated her birthday. She hopes our family of three can stay here and accompany her tonight. But unfortunately, your father has a meeting tonight. If you insist on going home, I'll send you home first, and you’ll have to wait there alone while I celebrate with Grandma."
Aino immediately curled up in her mother’s arms. "No, I don't want to stay at home alone! I want to accompany Grandma. But Mommy, if it’s Grandma’s birthday, why is there no cake?”
Sabrina replied, "Sigh! As a pretty girl yourself, you should understand the mind of a pretty girl. They're all afraid of growing even a year older. Do you understand now!”
"Oh, oh, oh, I understand!" Aino laughed.
“Can you accompany Grandma as she goes to sleep?" Sabrina suggested.
"Sure! Watch me! I know Grandma loves me the most! I'll ask her to tell me a story!” Aino said proudly.
