"Why are you still being so polite with me?!" Mary patted Wendy's hand, "Since we're from the same village and we live so close, we should help each other. It's just a small matter."
Then, Mary talked about Andy's one-month birthday. She had already contacted her cousin and would bring the things over. It would definitely not delay.
"I don't know how to thank you!" Wendy finally heard something that made her happy. Otherwise, she would have felt very bitter. "However, Mrs. Young, I know that it must be difficult to find someone in such a hurry. Just tell me how much money you spent. We should give you more!"
"Yeah, just tell me how much it costs!" Justin quickly said as he listened to the two of them. He didn't have time to do this. Now that Mary had helped so much, they should thank her sincerely.
"Don't worry about that." Mary quickly smiled and said, "I won't pay the bill myself."
Mary knew that Wendy and Justin weren't people who liked to take advantage of others. Therefore, even though her family was rich, she wouldn't rashly pay the bill for them. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing.
Wendy and Justin looked much more relaxed.
It was fine even if they spent more money. Fortunately, there was no problem with their son's one-month-old birthday.
"By the way, I still have something to discuss with you, Wendy," Mary said.
Wendy was a little curious about what Mary wanted to say, so she said, "Mrs. Young, just say it. As long as we can help you."
Mary smiled and glanced at the little girl who was sitting there. Then, she turned her gaze back to Wendy and his husband. "I see that you guys are very busy here. Aria's younger brother is sick again. And you need to take care of him. You'll inevitably be very tired. Why don't you let Aria stay at my house for a few days?"
Hearing Mary's words, not only Wendy and his husband but even Aria was stunned.
Why did she suddenly bring this up?
Wendy and Justin looked at each other. Wendy deliberated for a moment before saying, "It's too troublesome for you, Mrs. Young. We can take care of her. It's not suitable for her to stay at your house..."
"What's not suitable about that?" Mary quickly said, "I like Aria. Moreover, since Aria saved Julia last time, Julia has been clamoring to play with her. Our two families live close to each other. It doesn't matter whose house she lives in, right?"
Wendy glanced at her daughter. She didn't understand how her daughter, who used to be a naughty girl, suddenly attracted the love of Mary. They even wanted Aria to stay with them.
Even so, Wendy still didn't want her child to live with someone else. "Mrs. Young, forget it. This is too troublesome..."
"Are you afraid that I won't take good care of Aria?" Mary said, "Don't worry. I will take care of her just like my own children."
Wendy and Justin were silent when they heard Mary's words. They didn't know how to respond. Moreover, Mary had just helped them, so it was hard for them to refuse.
Wendy had no choice but to call her daughter to her side. "Aria, Aunt Mary wants you to stay at their house for a few days. What do you think?"
Wendy didn't know what to say, so she let her daughter make the decision.
Aria pursed her lips. She didn't know what to answer now, and she didn't expect Mary to want her to stay at their house.
This...
"Aria, it's almost your brother's one-month-old birthday. Your parents will be busy. Moreover, your brother is weak now and needs your mother to take care of him. If you stay home, your mother has to divert her attention to take care of you, and she will be tired." Mary smiled and took Aria's hand. "So, you can stay at my house for a few days. When your brother's one-month-old birthday is over and his health is better, you can come back. Moreover, our two families are so close to each other. You can come home anytime during the day, right?"
If Aria had heard such words when she was young, she would be very unhappy because she was very jealous of her younger brother after he was born. She often felt that her parents were biased, especially when she heard such words. She would feel that her parents wanted to take care of her younger brother more. And she was abandoned.
But now, Aria felt that Mary was right. After all, her younger brother was sick and needed to be taken care of. Her mother was in confinement. It was tiring for her to take care of two children.
Aria turned to look at Wendy and said hesitantly, "Mom, maybe I should stay at Aunt Mary's house for a few days. Mom, just take good care of my brother. Otherwise, you will be too tired."
Wendy was very touched when she heard her daughter's words because her daughter could feel her hard work.
"Alright, then you go to Aunt Mary's house and stay for a few days. However, you have to be obedient and not be naughty!" Wendy reminded her worriedly. After all, she remembered her daughter, who was even more mischievous than a boy.
Aria nodded obediently, indicating that she would be obedient.
"Then, Aria, bring a few clothes. Just change the clothes if they're dirty and bring them back. I'll wash them later." Wendy thought for a moment and spoke.
Although Mary would not let Aria wear dirty clothes, even if they were dirty, she would wash them for Aria. However, she didn't object to Wendy's words.
After that, Wendy asked Justin to find a big bag. Then, she packed four or five pieces of clothes from the closet and put them in the bag. Children liked to run around, and the weather was terrible. It was easy to dirty clothes, so the clothes were necessary.
After packing up, Mary brought Aria to her home.
Wendy watched her daughter leave with Mary. For some reason, she suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's okay. Our families live so close to each other. It's not a big deal to stay for a few days. Didn't Aria often stay at her aunt's house before?" Justin comforted his wife, "Besides if Aria was at home, it would be too tiring for you to take care of the two children."
Wendy looked at her husband and nodded. She understood, but she was still a little worried.
