nca Roach took a picture of her daughter’s “family holding hands” cookie with her phone, and took some close-ups.


    She had to make a custom stic case in the same shape as the cookie so that it wouldst longer.


    “Mom, is that kid … here yet?”


    Alice asked from the sidelines.


    She’s been asking since she opened her eyes this morning, she’s been asking at dinner time, she’s been asking after dinner, and she’s still asking now.


    But the time they agreed on was 10:00 a. m., and now it’s almost 10:00 a. m. Howe the kids haven’t arrived yet?


    nca Roach was wondering the same thing, and when she pulled Alice downstairs, she saw Matthew Grant followed by a man holding a child.


    Alice’s eyes lit up and she took a few steps to go downstairs, but almost lost her footing when Matthew Grant picked her up.


    This unstable girl …


    “Ma’am.” The man went up to the second floor and put down the child to greet nca Roach, who had the Empire Group pin on his shirt.


    “Here, go upstairs.”


    nca Roach waved her hand again to greet a somewhat shy boy behind him, “Hello, little Terrence.”


    “Say hello to Madame.” The boy’s father took his son’s hand, his tone serious.


    He was clearly a guest, but he was so restrained that he looked like he was being inspected.


    The boy frowned and bowed his head defiantly, not saying a word.


    It was clear that his father was making the atmosphere tense and the boy was having trouble rxing, and nca Roach didn’t want her daughter’s little guest to be crying when he first arrived.


    nca Roach propped herself up on her knees and squatted down, trying her best to look level with the child, friendly and affectionate: “Terrence, let’s shake hands.”


    Terrence is a handsome boy, with good eyebrows and a keen eye, but he has a stubborn streak.


    He watched nca Roach warily and finally reached out to shake nca Roach’s hand after a long time.


    nca Roach narrowed his eyes and smiled, and took the opportunity to lead him upstairs.


    The group went up to the sunroom on the top floor.


    It was a rare sunny day after a series of rainy days, and the midday light poured into the room, making it warm andfortable.


    Alice peeked at Terrence in her father’s arms and suddenly buried herself in his shoulder again.


    Because … she was discovered by Terrence children.


    “Okay kids, this is our activity room today, don’t hide, Alice should alsoe down to say hello to Terrence.”


    nca Roach patted her daughter’s shoulder, and Alice looked up sheepishly, as if her secret had been discovered.


    When she was put down by her father, she took the initiative to walk up to Terrence and said hello to Terrence, just like her mother had just done.


    “Hello Terrence, I’m Alice.”


    “…” Terrence returned the handshake, but did not speak.


    The child’s father frowned as if he was about to get angry at any moment.


    nca Roach felt as if there might be something wrong with the dad’s parenting style.


    She wasn’t the nosy type either, but if Terrence was going to be Alice’s long-term ymate, then his physical and mental health was going to have some impact on Alice.


    “Terrence dad, let’s go out first.”


    nca Roach raised her hand in gesture, and Terrence’s dad respectfully said, “After you.”


    nca Roach also did not want to make these false courtesies with him and took the lead to walk out of the room.


    Although Terrence didn’t seem to carry out any of his father’s orders, his eyes couldn’t help but follow him as he left the room, and a sh of bewilderment passed under his eyes.


    He didn’t cry or chase out, just over two years old and too determined.


    nca Roach believes that if this is not a ce Alice is familiar with, I’m afraid Alice would have cried.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
