There were six or seven kids, but she didn't have many candies. She thought of splitting them in half, which would be enough. At first, the kids were hesitant to approach. At this moment, Grandma came over, smiling as she grabbed a child and walked to Clara, saying, "This is the child from the Mateo family, called Alex. Alex, this is mother Clara!"
Mother? Instant upgrade. Clara glanced at Mateo quietly, but he remained calm. He bent down, picked up Alex, lifted him halfway into the air, lowered him again, and then lifted him high. This amused Clara, and his chubby face laughed like a steamed bun, resembling a flower.
Other kids also gathered around, wanting Mateo to hold them. After playing with Mateo, they would come to Clara to get candies. Some kids couldn't speak yet, babbling without knowing what to say, and those who could speak would call her "mother"! It was warm and heartwarming.
