Audrey nodded and took the spatula.
Clive went to get the dumplings and saw Gem Atkinson, then greeted him with a smile, "Father Atkinson."
Audrey was holding the spatula when she heard the sound and jumped. She turned around and saw her father leaning on the door watching them. She happily raised the spatula and said, "Gem, you're back. Wait a moment, and I'll make some dumplings for you. I made them myself, and I'll cook them for you."
Seeing the little girl's bright and excited eyes, Gem Atkinson felt so touched. He had been thinking about how to explain his hurried return to River State on the way back, but now it seemed that he didn't need to explain. So, he walked to his little girl's side, one hand holding her waist to prevent her from falling off the stool, and the other hand wiping the flour from her nose, saying, "Look at your little face, it's like a theater mask."
