Elizabeth tried to move her hand but didnโt break free, letting him hold it.
Alexander tilted his umbrella towards Elizabeth, not noticing the raindrops on his own shoulder. ๐๐โฏโฏ๐โฏ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฃโฏ๐ญ.๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ
The moment they stepped inside, the rain stopped.
Emily complained, โWhat kind of weather is this? Sunโs out and itโs raining.โ
โItโs a sunshower,โ Elizabeth explained. โWhen clouds with different charges collide under the influence of the solar wind, it can result in a sunshower.
Thereโs a good chance weโll see a rainbow.โ
Sure enough, a rainbow appeared in the sky.
Emily exclaimed in admiration, โElizabeth, you know so much.โ
Flattered by her friendโs praise, Elizabeth pursed her lips.
Alexander directed Emily, โGo get a change of clothes for the little girl.โ
Rain had dampened Elizabethโs hair, making her black strands cling to her cheeks. Her eyelashes drooped, making her look less aloof and more gentle, emphasizing her sparkling, beautiful eyes.
Swallowing, Alexander averted his gaze.
Emily, almost instinctively, darted toward her room to fetch the clothes.
Elizabeth suddenly asked him, โIs it good to be human?โ
Alexander glanced at Elizabeth, โWhy wouldnโt it be?โ
โHuman nature is so complex. It controls people, making them do things they donโt want to,โ Elizabeth said, her brows knitted in concern.
Tilting his head, Alexander responded softly, โIf you donโt let it control you, isnโt that the solution?โ
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth seemed to have an epiphany.
Commands in code cannot be resisted, but human nature can be.
Soโฆ itโs that simple.
Gratefully, she looked at Alexander and said earnestly, โYou really remind me of my Grandpa.โ
Only her Grandpa would share such wisdom with her.
Alexander didnโt know what to say.
He chuckled lightly, any weird feelings that had begun to form instantly vanished.
Turns out, heโs just a Grandpa.
Realizing her oversight, Emily came down to bring Elizabeth to her room, offering her a tracksuit to change into.
Seeing the weather clearing up, Emily urged Elizabeth to continue their barbecue.
Elizabeth didnโt stay long. By 4 p.m., she asked Alexander to drop her off.
Out of courtesy, Emily followed Elizabeth inside to greet Sophia.
Sophia, looking into Elizabethโs shining eyes, asked warmly, โElizabeth, did you have fun?โ
Elizabeth nodded, her adorable demeanor filling Sophiaโs eyes with affection. Turning to Emily, she said, โThank you. Elizabeth hasnโt been back for long, and I was worried sheโd feel out of place or lonely. Iโm glad she has a friend like you.โ
Even if she could accompany Elizabeth, she wasnโt her peer.
Linda might have played with Elizabeth, but she was very focused on her studies, even on weekends.
โNo need for thanks. I love hanging out with Elizabeth. Sheโs the only one who listens to my chatter,โ Emily replied politely.
Sophia was fond of the well-mannered Emily and insisted on giving her some homemade desserts to take home.
Emily tried to decline, knowing she shouldnโt accept things without giving in return, but Sophiaโs enthusiasm made it hard to refuse.
Back in the car, Alexander looked at the laden Emily and casually remarked, โAfter accepting someoneโs gift, shouldnโt you give something back?โ
โIndeed,โ Emily agreed.
Then she heard her brother nonchalantly suzzest, โBring the little girl over more often. Consider it repayment.โ
Emily was speechless.
Thatโs it?
Meanwhile, Ray was at Surge Real Estate discussing project mattersโฆ
