Caiden Ward curled his lips into a smile and teased her, "You don’t like it, but Uncle Ward does. Uncle Ward likes that kind of long hair, what to do?"
"Hmm." Maeve looked down at her shoulder-length hair and said helplessly, "My hair is so short, it’s been over a year and I can only tie a tiny ponytail, I can’t do anything about it."
"Why are you so cute?" Caiden Ward laughed out loud.
"Just this cute." Maeve’s lips curled up, she laughed too, very happy, her little face rubbing against his neck like an excited puppy.
Caiden Ward placed her back on the bed, picked up clothes, shoes, and socks to help her get dressed.
By now, he was quite adept and felt rather pleased, what was wrong with him liking to take care of this little girl?
He and Ivy Cox’s illegitimate child?
If anyone says so in the future, he’ll get rid of them in no time!
Caiden Ward gritted his teeth, dressed Maeve, called Koa Jackson, and a few of them went out for a meal, then, taking advantage of the night, went to South Garden to watch a performance, and returned to the room to rest.
The next morning they left, went for a tour around Landy Town, and returned downtown in the afternoon.
Next—
Mia Ginger stayed at Cloudy Capital for about a month, spending most of her time with Koa Jackson.
The overseas study matters were settled, she had initially felt a bit reluctant to go, hesitated for a few days, then thought it would be childish to say she wasn’t going, so she actively trained her spoken language to quickly adapt to the new environment.
Besides—
In mid-August, she and Bob Ginger were to leave together.
Neither had been abroad before, naturally Aurora Cooper and Koa Jackson were worried.
After pondering for several days, Aurora Cooper and Koa Jackson, along with Amy, accompanied the two to Y Country, settled everything, and flew back home the next day.
Separated by distance, Mia Ginger only felt that time passed slowly.
Every day she calculated the time difference to call Koa Jackson, reporting every detail of her life and studies.
She was much healthier than before, and in her junior year, she participated in the Y Country university marathon with Camden River. Although she didn’t win, she managed to grab a consolation prize.
When playing in a film city, she unexpectedly met a bearded photographer, with whose guidance her photography skills improved significantly. Several of her photos were selected for that year’s Y Country Student Photography Exhibition, and one even won an award. It was a picture of a red sun she took on a mountain top during a mountaineering club activity.
Her hair had grown past her shoulders, and tying it in a ponytail felt a bit awkward at first, but she gradually got used to it. She felt like she’d forgotten what she looked like with short hair, and complained on the phone that she should have taken more photos before; it was a pity not having many pictures from when she was seventeen or eighteen.
She made quite a few friends at school, some from Y Country and others from different countries. She could already greet in twelve languages, and including her native language, she became proficient in four languages, reaching about the same level as Koa Jackson, feeling great.
Every day, her words were recorded by Koa Jackson on his phone. Over time, his phone ran out of storage capacity.
He selected and deleted some older ones, keeping the new ones, feeling like he had developed an obsession.
Imagining Mia Ginger’s changes, his days actually passed quickly. In the end, he too was influenced by Mia Ginger, picking out things that might interest her to tell her during calls.
The case of Tong Tong lost its second appeal.
But—
A twist of fate occurred as one year later, old events repeated. Tong Tong still sent the elderly lady to the hospital, and when the lady woke up, full of gratitude, she admitted to the media that she had falsely accused Tong Tong due to family pressure.
A banner was sent to the school. Tong Tong’s story caused a great stir online, with netizens voting her as one of the "Top Ten Youths Who Moved the Internet" of the year.
Her film "Boss Lady" was released during the holiday season, with great box office results and good reviews.
Jax Jackson caught a high fever one winter night, affecting his intelligence a bit. To avoid worrying the old gentleman, Jax was brought to stay at Cloudy Capital under Koa Jackson’s care, with two aunties specially looking after him.
At the same time—
Aurora Cooper moved out of Cooper Manor at Cloudy Capital to live with Aiden Jiang. He brought the Chancellor home to keep Jax Jackson company.
Spring came and autumn went.
Two years passed in a flash.
