"Thank you, Auntie, I appreciate your kindness, but I have money.", Viola politely declined.
At this moment, Eleanor felt that in some ways Viola and Terrence were quite alike.
After all, whenever she had tried to give Terrence money in the past, he had always used the same excuse.
Neither of them were employed.
One was idle, the other was studying; where did their money come from?
"Viola, I don't have daughters. You're like a daughter to me. Just accept it.", Eleanor put the card back into Viola's hand.
Eleanor meant every word she said.
At this moment, she genuinely treated Viola as her daughter.
Viola still refused.
With no other choice, Eleanor could only take the card back.
After finishing their milk tea, Eleanor proposed to drive Viola back home.
Viola politely declined with a smile, "No need, Auntie, I still have things to do. I'll go by bike."
Eleanor looked at the shared bike parked nearby, somewhat surprised, "Viola, you can ride bikes?"
"Yes."
