"You might not have taken a good look at that child. Although she's not very beautiful, she looks very spiritual. She's different from the other children." When Mary thought of Aria's appearance, a smile appeared in her eyes.
Mary had only heard that Aria was very mischievous with other children in the villages, but that was only hearsay. She had contact with Aria because Aria saved her daughter, and Aria was only a five-year-old child. Such a child was definitely not naughty only.
Another thing was that Mary liked Wendy very much. She believed that Aria was a good child with a mother like Wendy.
"If it's really like what you said, there's nothing wrong with it. However, I have to see that child later." George said. Then, he hesitated for a moment." Actually, I thought that Cindy was good. She was beautiful and seemed quite obedient..."
Hearing George mention another child, Mary said, "Cindy is indeed prettier, but I think Aria is more suitable."
The Cindy they mentioned was a daughter of their friends, who lived in another town. Her family was as rich as Steven's, so she was spoiled, wearing a princess dress and leather shoes.
"Don't forget, every time Cindy comes to our house, Julia doesn't like her. And Steven, he never showed any interest in Cindy." Mary said.
Although it was still too early for a child to say whether he liked it or not, there would be some expressions in their daily lives, such as whether they liked to play together or not. Children's expressions were the most direct.
Therefore, although Cindy was also beautiful and obedient, Mary felt a little rejected since her two children didn't like her.
"Alright, in that case, I'll listen to you." George smiled and said, "Isn't Justin's son's one-month-old birthday coming soon? It'll be the best time."
No matter who they chose, if they decided to betroth their son, then they had to be serious. They won't arrange their children's marriage randomly.
Mary smiled and nodded.
Well, she felt Aria was really a good child and got along well with her two children. It would definitely be a good thing if she could live in their house.
To this end, George and Mary had already thought of Aria as their "daughter-in-law", but on the other end, Aria's family did not think about these things at all and was living their own lives.
Justin was a chauvinistic person. Normally, he wouldn't go to the kitchen. However, he knew that he couldn't accompany his wife from the time she gave birth to her child to the time she was in confinement. Therefore, he had to make up for it this time. He cut a small piece of meat that he had bought for the fried chicken and went to the courtyard to pick some vegetables. He personally cooked chicken noodles.
"Your cooking skill is getting better and better!" Wendy had just fed her son. She looked at the fragrant noodles and praised them with a smile.
Justin couldn't help but reveal a proud smile when he heard the praise from her.
Wendy narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew that her husband loved to be praised, so as his wife, she would not be stingy.
"Daddy, the noodles you cooked smell so good!"
As Wendy was thinking about it, she heard someone praising her husband even more.
Aria also knew that her father liked to be praised by others. Of course, she did not understand it in the past, but now that she had the opportunity and courage, she wasn't mean with these praises. Besides, she could not do anything else except praise.
Hearing his wife praise him, it's okay, but hearing his daughter praise him, Justin was excited. Before he talked less with his daughter talked because she was afraid of him, she was not close to him. But this time, his daughter is not only close to him, now she's so sincere that she said the food he made was delicious.
Justin didn't know what to say.
Justin's eyes became even gentler. He picked out the shredded chicken from his bowl and put it into his daughter's small bowl.
"Daddy, there's no need. I can't eat it!" Aria's eyes turned red when she saw this. Her father had always doted on her...
"You're still young. Eating more meat is good for your body!" Justin smiled and said," You have to eat the vegetables too!"
"Dad..."
"Alright, hurry up and eat." Justin rubbed his daughter's soft hair.
Aria managed to control herself from crying with great difficulty. She did not dare to do anything else and lowered her head to eat the food in her bowl.
Justin was even happier when he saw his daughter eating so fast.
At the same time, Justin felt a little uncomfortable. It would be great if he could earn more money. That way, his child would be able to eat better food instead of just a little bit of shredded chicken.
He had to work harder to earn money in the future...
After the meal, Justin didn't do anything but saw his daughter pile the bowls together and put them into the pot on the ground. Then, she scooped two ladles of water and poured them in.
At first, Justin was a little stunned. He thought that his daughter would be done after pouring the water, but then his daughter started washing the dishes.
Justin was surprised to see his daughter washing the dishes.
"Aria, you..."
"Dad, I can wash it well. Don't worry!" Aria had been squatting on the ground and seriously washing dishes. She raised her head and showed a big smile at her father. Her curved eyebrows looked very likable.
Wendy also noticed the situation here. She lay on the bed and smiled. "Aria is good at washing dishes. If she likes to wash, let her do it."
Justin turned to look at Wendy. "But she was still five."
Although the girls in the village learned to wash the dishes at an early age, Justin was not a father who wanted his daughter to do housework so early. After all, he doted on his daughter very much. So, this time, it was amazing for him to watch her daughter wash the dishes.
Then, he watched as his daughter finished washing the dishes neatly. She scooped some water from the bucket and rinsed the dishes. Then, she stacked the bowls and placed them in the kitchen.
After that, she even took a rag and wiped the table.
Justin was really confused. He had only been gone for a few months, but why did it feel like he had been gone for a few years? His daughter seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
This... this... this feels a little too fast!
Justin widened his eyes.
