It was rare that her daughter did not cause trouble. Instead, she saved a child who was younger than her. This made Wendy extremely happy.
"But Mary, please take these things back. Today is just a coincidence. There's no need for you to give these!"
Wendy had never been someone who liked to take advantage of others, so she didn't want to accept the things that Mary brought. After all, her daughter didn't want to get anything from saving Julia.
Mary shook her head and said, "These are my gifts to Aria. You must accept them because I really don't know how to express my gratitude to her."
Mary felt that this was not enough. If her daughter really fell into the water, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, she knew that Wendy was not a greedy person from the look on her face. She had put 500 dollars in her pocket to thank Wendy originally. But now, Wendy refused to accept food. If she took out the money now, Wendy might think that she was insulting her.
Mary thought about it and gave up, but she couldn't take the food away.
In the end, Wendy received the food because of Mary's words, "Aria is growing, she needs much nutrition."
Mary was right. Firstly, Aria had saved Julia, so she deserved all this food. Secondly, Aria really needed to replenish her nutrition, but the Lewis Family wasn't rich. The best food they could give their daughter was eggs. The meat wasn't something that could be easily obtained.
Therefore, Wendy decided to receive this food because of her daughter.
Mary was relieved when she saw that Wendy agreed to accept the food. She smiled and said, "Although we didn't have much contact in the past, we can visit each other more often in the future. We live close to each other, so we should visit more often!"
Wendy was a little surprised to hear Mary's words. She knew that Mary's family was quite rich in the village. Such a family probably didn't like to interact with poor families. She didn't expect Mary to say such words just because her daughter saved Julia.
If they could get on well with Mary's family, it would be something that everyone in the village would be eager to do.
Wendy smiled and nodded. "That's good. I will trouble you in the future."
"Is your son over a month old?" Mary asked with a smile.
"Not yet." Wendy shook her head." It's only a few days until the baby's first month birthday. His father hasn't come back yet."
"I see. Then we must come and celebrate the baby's first month's birthday. Don't mind then!" Mary said with a smile.
When Wendy heard Mary's words, she hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm so happy that you want to come!"
Mary nodded, indicating that she would definitely come.
Mary and Wendy were chatting casually, but she didn't expect that the more she chatted with Wendy, the more she liked her. In the past, she didn't talk much with Wendy. But now, she felt that Wendy was different from other women. Her words were very elegant and sophisticated, making people feel comfortable.
Unconsciously, Mary regretted not meeting Wendy earlier.
Although Mary's family life was very good and she was the best in the village, she didn't interact with others not because she looked down on the poor. She just didn't like those people who loved gossip all day long. It didn't matter if they just talked about the true things in the village, but many of them often deliberately spread rumors about others' families.
That was why Mary hated such people.
However, now that she had met Wendy, Mary realized that there were different people in the village.
The two mothers regretted not meeting each other earlier. The three children on the other side started playing around the baby on the bed.
"Aria, he's so small!" Julia's eyes widened as she looked curiously at the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. She had never seen such a small child before.
Aria smiled and nodded. "Yes, he was born not long ago. He will slowly grow up in the future."
Julia nodded in confusion and said, " Aria, can I touch him?"
Julia was curious. She really wanted to touch this cute baby.
"Of course, you can hold his hand." Aria said.
Because the baby's hand was now outside, it was easy to hold it.
Julia nodded seriously as if she had been preparing for a long time. Then, she carefully reached out her hand and gently pulled the baby's hand. Her strength was light, and she quickly pulled it back.
Julia's eyes lit up for a long time. "His hands are so soft. How cute!"
Aria nodded happily when she heard someone praise her brother for being cute. Then, she thought about it and looked at Steven. "Do you want to touch him?"
In fact, Aria did not deliberately let Steven touch her brother. It was just that Steven had been standing there all this time. She was too embarrassed to ignore him. Since he had come to her house, she had to take good care of him.
So now that Julia had touched her brother, she could let Steven touch him too.
Hearing Aria's invitation, Steven thought for a moment, then reached out and carefully touched the baby's forehead. Then, he quickly retracted his hand.
Such a baby gave people a very fragile feeling. They did not dare to be careless.
Aria was not as careful as the two of them. She reached out and gently held her brother's hand. "Little brother, be good..." Then, she stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed her brother on the cheek.
The baby revealed a smile. It looked very cute, and his big round face looked very festive.
"Ah, you have never kissed me before!" Julia couldn't help but protest when she saw Aria's actions. She pouted unhappily.
Aria didn't expect Julia to object to this, so she couldn't help but laugh. She let go of her brother's hand and kissed Julia on the cheek, "Are you satisfied now?"
Julia touched her face and nodded happily.
Steven frowned slightly as he watched the two of them.
Julia glanced at him, then tugged at Aria's clothes and said, "Aria, kiss Steven too!"
What?
Aria was stunned for a moment, then she subconsciously turned to look at Steven.
Then, blood rushed up her face, and her face turned red.
