Because Jiao Chen had raised and taught Xiaojiao.

Time flies. At the start, she kept imagining that Jiao Chen was still around. Their happy family of three would eat breakfast and dinner together.

And during bedtime, she would imagine that Jiao Chen was lying beside Xiaojiao, telling her bedtime stories while Su Yue leaned against the door frame, waiting for Xiaojiao to fall asleep.

But now, she was slowly coming to terms with Jiao Chen’s pa.s.sing. She almost hurt herself a few times because she imagined that Jiao Chen was cooking together with her.

So, she tried really hard to accept the harsh truth.

Jiao Chen was no longer around.

“Miss Su, today’s fish is very fresh. I’ll cook fish soup for Xiaojiao later, it’s good for children.” Their helper came back from the market and smiled as she showed Su Xiaojiao a fresh fish.

Su Yan insisted on arranging for this helper to take care of Su Yue and Xiaojiao.

Su Yue stared at the fish and said, “It’s alright. Leave it in the kitchen. I’ll do it.”

She was solving puzzles with Su Xiaojiao on the sofa.

They had been solving the same few puzzles for the past few days. Xiaojiao was starting to become impatient. “Mommy, don’t want a puzzle.”

The little la.s.s pushed the puzzles away.

Su Yue kept the puzzles and carried Xiaojiao. She smiled as she asked, “Then what does Xiaojiao want to play?”

Su Xiaojiao looked down and pouted as she remained silent. She blinked and her eyelashes became drenched with tears.

Su Yue didn’t understand why the little la.s.s was suddenly so emotional. With her heart aching, she asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

“Daddy brings me to the playground. Mommy doesn’t love me.” Su Xiaojiao peered up at Su Yue and bawled.

Su Yue’s heart clenched. She hugged her tightly and said, “That’s not true. Mommy loves you.”

Just then, their helper chuckled and walked over. She suggested to Su Yue, “The weather is good today. Many children are flying kites at L Square. Let’s bring Xiaojiao over.”

Kite-flying… Su Yue looked outside the window. The leaves were rustling because of the gentle breeze. Country M wasn’t too scorching this season. Indeed, the weather was good.

She asked Xiaojiao, “Xiaojiao, do you want to fly a kite?”

“Yes.” Su Xiaojiao nodded forcefully. Then she wiped away her tears and affectionately hugged Su Yue’s elbow.

Su Xiaojiao rubbed her head in guilt.

How did Xiaojiao have such sentiments?

Who else would she love other than Xiaojiao?

L Square was close to their house, so they didn’t need the car. Su Yue held Xiaojiao’s hand while their helper walked behind them, carrying a bag that contained Xiaojiao’s snacks and water.

There were indeed many children in L Square. Some were flying kites, ice-skating, or running around.

Laughter filled the atmosphere.

The nearby convenience store sold kites and Su Yue brought Xiaojiao over.

Various kinds of kites were hanging by the entrance.

Su Yue glanced at them and looked down at Xiaojiao. “Xiaojiao, which one do you like?”

“b.u.t.terfly,” Xiaojiao said without hesitation. She pointed at the pink b.u.t.terfly kite.

“Alright.” Su Yue nodded and said to the boss, “I’ll have the b.u.t.terfly kite.”

“Okay.” The boss took a brand new b.u.t.terfly kite from the storeroom and pa.s.sed it to her. “That’ll be thirty dollars. Have a good day.”
