"It’s okay now." Mia Ginger responded with a smile, her voice softly saying, "Brother Jackson, I don’t want to study abroad anymore."
Koa Jackson was taken aback, "What are you talking about?"
"Really," Mia sat up and looked at him, speaking with seriousness, "Do you think this opportunity could be given to someone else? I don’t want to go, I can’t bear to leave you, I want to be with you every day."
"Don’t be willful." Koa raised his hand to brush her hair aside, smiling faintly, "Two years is a very short time."
"It’s very long for me." Mia held one of his hands, bowing her head with a smile, "Two years is over seven hundred days, more than ten thousand hours, such a long separation, I can’t bear it."
"It’s not like you won’t come back."
"After all, the time back is limited."
"Don’t want to be a journalist anymore?"
"I can be a journalist without going abroad."
Koa Jackson looked at her bright, clear eyes, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Sister Mia." Maeve’s voice interrupted them, accompanied by Caiden Ward.
"I’m exhausted." Caiden, still wearing swim trunks, sat directly on the chair, picked up the towel from Koa Jackson’s hand, wiped his face, and let out a long sigh.
Maeve looked at him eagerly, "I still want to play."
Caiden: "..."
"Can we eat first?" He looked at Maeve with a tearful expression.
Maeve’s stomach let out a timely rumble, and before Caiden could tease, she laughed herself.
"Sister will take you to shower and change clothes." Mia pinched her cheek playfully and said with a smile.
"Okay." Maeve puffed out her cheeks, compromising.
The two headed to the bathroom.
Mia used the showerhead to rinse Maeve once, applied some body wash, and the little girl lathered up lots of bubbles. Suddenly, deep in thought, she said, "Uncle Ward is hiding something strange."
"Huh?" Mia was taken aback.
Maeve stuck out her tongue, her mouth corners drooping, "I accidentally tugged on his swim trunks just now."
Mia: "..."
"He was startled and grabbed his trunks tight, as if afraid I’d discover something," Maeve tilted her head, pondering, "I just saw it bulging there."
Mia: "..."
After a while, wide-eyed, she looked at her hesitantly and asked, "Does Uncle Ward take care of you at the Ward Family?"
"Yeah." Maeve said innocently.
Mia nodded, looking at her happy face, then asked, "Do you sleep together every night? In one bed?"
"One bed, two blankets." Maeve frowned, dissatisfied, "I want to sleep under one blanket with him, he doesn’t allow it, but he often can’t resist me, hehe, I just crawl under his blanket."
"Is that so?" Mia pressed her fingers to her brow, softly saying, "Maeve is a big girl now, you should sleep under your own blanket."
"Why? Sleeping in Uncle Ward’s arms is more comfortable," Maeve replied indifferently.
Mia looked at her, momentarily unsure how to explain.
Caiden Ward and Louis Cox are the same age, about nineteen years older than Maeve.
If it were Louis Cox, she wouldn’t think twice about it.
But—
Louis Cox is an uncle, Caiden Ward has no relation to this girl whatsoever.
Right now, this girl trusts and adores him, what might these feelings evolve into when she grows up?
Mia suddenly thought of Cesar Myres and Ivy Cox; the parents’ age difference of over twenty years must affect the children, right? When Maeve understands emotions, might she fall for Caiden Ward?
