Mary looked at her husband with some doubts. She didn't understand why it was better for Aria to go to preschool. Was there any relationship between the two?
"Think about it, which preschool is better now?" George said with a smile.
"Of course, the preschool on the other side of the riverbank is better. So what?" Mary still didn't understand.
Although the Lewis Village was the largest in the entire town, there were no good educational facilities in the entire town. The only primary school was not very good, and the preschool on the other side of the riverbank was the best. However, it was a little far. It would take about 40 minutes to ride a bicycle, so most people in Lewis Village would not send their children there.
However, Mary didn't have such concerns. Because their family had a car, they could send their children to the best school for education, even if it was just a preschool.
"I understand. You mean to let Aria and Steven go to that preschool together, right?" Mary finally understood what her husband meant.
"Yes, that's right." George nodded.
Since Wendy valued her daughter very much, she would definitely want her daughter to have better education conditions. The preschool on the other side of the riverbank had the best conditions except for the distance. Therefore, George believed that Wendy would not refuse if she could let her daughter go there.
"You can use this to persuade her." George said. If this was the case, he wasn't worried that they wouldn't be willing.
Moreover, if Wendy was still unwilling to do this, he had other ways...
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, there will be no problem now." Mary nodded, suddenly full of confidence.
In fact, Mary also liked Aria very much. If Aria could come to their house and accompany her, she would also feel very happy.
At this moment, Aria did not know that Steven's parents had already set their sights on her. She was playing with the three siblings.
However, even though it was called playing, there was nothing fun about it. They were just walking and fooling around on the streets.
"Ada, are you feeling better recently?" Aria raised her head and asked.
Ada, who was holding Aria's hand, lowered her head and smiled when she heard Aria's question. "Yes, I'm fine. I'm much better now!"
Aria's heart tightened when she saw Ada's abnormally pale face. Ada's health had been very poor since she was young. From the time she knew Ada, Ada had been taking medicine. It was said that the disease came from her blood, and she needed to take medicine for a long time.
Ada was now in the second grade of primary school, but she would soon drop out of school because she needed surgery at that time. After surgery, she dropped out of school intermittently.
Later, although her life was not in danger after she grew up, her body was far weaker than ordinary people's. Moreover, Ada's family spent a lot of money on her illness. Every year, her medicine fee was a large expenditure.
The most heartbreaking thing was that although Ada was very beautiful and capable, because of her weak body, no one was willing to marry such a wife. No one wanted to continue to pay for her medical expenses.
Therefore, Ada could only remain single. Even Tia and Chris were already married and had children. She could only continue to live with her parents.
Aria sighed in her heart.
Even though she knew what would happen, she couldn't help at all.
"Aria, why do you look so unhappy?" Tia asked, "Are you still unhappy about your brother's birth?"
Ada and Tia both knew that Aria's mother had given birth to a younger brother for her, so Aria had always been unhappy about this matter.
"No, I like my brother very much now." Aria quickly shook her head." I'm not unhappy."
"Don't lie to us. You must be unhappy." Tia pursed her lips. She did not believe Aria's words.
Tia was the one who could understand Aria's unhappiness the most because she was very unhappy when Chris was born back then, and it was the same until now.
Ada was not in good health, and Chris was a boy. Both her parents doted on them, so Tia always got the worst food and toys, and she usually had to wash the dishes.
So now, Tia felt that she could understand Aria.
Aria helplessly looked at Tia's sympathetic eyes. "I'm happy now. It's a good thing that my brother was born. I'll take good care of him in the future."
Hearing Aria's words, Ada and Tia looked at each other.
Aria had said that she didn't like her brother before, but why did it change suddenly...
"That's even better. Aria, take good care of your brother in the future." Ada said with a smile.
No matter what, it was a good thing for Aria to think that way.
"Hey, what are you doing? You're too slow!" While the three girls were talking, Chris had already run to the front.
The three of them quickly followed.
Ada ran to hold Chris. "Don't run blindly, or you'll fall later."
Although Chris was mischievous, he had always been afraid of Ada, especially when he knew that her health was not good, so he did not dare to be rude to her.
Therefore, Chris could only let her hold his hand.
"Aria! Aria!"
Aria heard someone calling her name.
She looked around and saw a chubby middle-aged woman in a gray shirt and black pants. She looked very kind.
Aria thought for a long time and finally recognized the person who came later.
"Great Aunt!" Aria shouted and ran over.
Yes, that's right. This was her great-aunt and also her mother's biological aunt. However, because her great-aunt had been smoking a lot when she was old, she became especially thin, so it took her a while to remember who she was.
"Aria, isn't your father back yet?" Fiona James smiled and touched Aria's head.
Aria shook her head. "Tomorrow he will be back."
Fiona nodded. "I see. It's good that he can back in time. It's your brother's one-month birthday." Then, she looked behind her and said to the three siblings," It's getting late. Where are you guys going? Don't run around and make your mother worry."
"We'll go back soon after playing for a while, Great Aunt." Aria said.
"Wait here for a moment," Fiona said, then she turned around and headed back to her house.
This place was only two minutes away from her house. Although Aria didn't know what her great-aunt was going to do, she still waited here.
The three siblings also waited with her.
