Aria looked up at her father's profile. She could see the unhappiness on his face.
But even so...
"I know, Dad. I'll go over with Jeffrey tomorrow." Justin said.
Aria sighed when she heard her father's words.
As expected,
as long as it was her grandfather's request, even if it was unreasonable, her father would still listen most of the time because he was such a filial person.
Her father wasn't being foolish or anything. Her father was a good person deep down. Filial was just what he thought in his heart. In fact, not only did he treat his father well, but he was also very filial to Wendy's father. No one could say anything bad about her father.
However, she hoped that her father could understand what was more important. He could not just listen to whatever her grandfather said...
However, it seemed that she could not do it in a short period of time. She was a child now and could not say anything. She could only wait for her father to slowly understand the future.
"Dad, then Aria and I will go back. If you need anything, just let me know." Justin said, then took out 300 dollars from his pocket." Dad, keep this for yourself. If it's not enough, just tell me."
Otto was very satisfied with the money. He took the money and smiled.
Then, Justin brought Aria back.
Aria stayed by her father's side. The more she thought about how much money her father had given her grandfather, the more upset she felt. She remembered that when her father passed away, her grandfather was as if nothing had happened...
Her father's filial piety was really in vain.
"Aria, what are you thinking about? Why are you frowning at such a young age?" Justin lowered his head and looked at his daughter.
Aria raised her head and looked at her father. She sighed in her heart and then spoke.
"Dad, can we bring Handsome back?" Aria asked.
"Handsome? Why did you think of this?" Justin was surprised. He remembered that his daughter didn't like dogs in the past. Moreover, the dog was so big. She was still a little afraid in the past.
"I just want it to come back, Dad. I want to play with Handsome. Can I, Dad?" Aria said.
As she spoke, she held her father's hand and shook it slightly. Her eyes were wide open and looked sparkling like the stars in the night.
Justin was slightly shocked by his daughter's coquettish behavior. Of course, he was more than happy.
Therefore, it was rare for his daughter to act coquettishly. If he did not satisfy his daughter, she would definitely not be so close to him in the future.
Although Justin didn't think it was a good idea to bring the dog back, he still decided to consider it.
"How about this? Let's go back and discuss it with Mom. If Mom thinks it's okay, then we can bring it back to our house." Justin said.
He liked the dog. However, he was worried that the dog might accidentally hurt the child and Wendy didn't like dogs.
Therefore, if Aria wanted to bring the dog back, the most important thing was Wendy's consent.
"Okay, then I'll ask Mom!" When Aria heard that her father had relented, her eyes revealed a trace of surprise. Then, she quickly ran home.
Justin instructed his daughter not to run so fast.
Aria immediately told her mother about it when she got home.
Wendy was teasing her son who had just woken up. When she heard her daughter's words, she turned around and frowned. "Why did you think of this? Don't you dislike dogs?"
Wendy also remembered that her daughter didn't like dogs.
"But I like it now. Handsome was originally our family's. Why did it have to be raised in Grandpa's house?" Aria looked up at her mother and said," Mom, let's bring Handsome back!"
At this moment, Justin also entered the house.
When she saw her husband, Wendy immediately asked, "Did you ask Aria to tell me?"
She now suspected that her husband wanted to get the dog back, so he deliberately asked her daughter to plead for mercy in front of her.
Justin smiled bitterly. He didn't expect to be wronged. He quickly said, "How is that possible? I didn't this time. It was Aria who suddenly said that she wanted to bring the dog back!"
"Really?" Wendy was skeptical.
"Of course." Justin nodded and said.
Wendy finally believed Justin's words. She turned to her daughter and said, "Aria, let's talk about it in the future. That dog is too big. I'm afraid it will accidentally hurt you."
Aria quickly said," No, no, we can tie it up under the aisle. I won't tease him! Mommy, let's bring it back, mommy! Let Handsome come back! I beg you!"
Aria's eyes were full of hope. She hoped that this would change the dog's tragic fate.
"You..." Wendy didn't understand why her daughter suddenly liked dogs so much.
Although Wendy felt that dogs were not safe and she did not like dogs, she could not resist Aria's request. She also thought that if Justin was not at home, maybe the dog could at least watch the door at night. Perhaps it would be safer. In the end, she nodded.
"Alright, I agree to bring the dog back, but the two of you are responsible for the dog's food, drink, and poop." Wendy said to her husband and daughter, "Also, Aria, if your father goes out later, you'll have to do it by yourself."
Aria quickly nodded, indicating that she could definitely do it!
Justin was also very happy. Being able to bring the dog back was something worth celebrating.
"In that case, Aria, go build a kennel in the courtyard with me." Justin said with a smile.
Aria quickly nodded and followed her father out of the house.
There were useless bricks in their yard, extra tiles in the corner of the yard, and half a bag of cement left over from the low wall that was used to repair the vegetable field. These things were more than enough to build a kennel. After that, the kennel was built in the corner under the eaves of the house.
In this way, the two sides were against the wall. Only the other two sides and the roof were built. In less than an hour, Justin had finished building it.
"That's great. The place is so big. Even if Handsome grows up, it'll be enough." Aria said.
The current size of the kennel was at least twice as big as Handsome. This way, no matter how Handsome grew, they would not have to build a new kennel.
Aria looked at the simple but well-behaved kennel and nodded silently in her heart.
Well, that's great. Handsome definitely wouldn't end up as a dish on someone else's table in this lifetime...
