Chapter 441 - All Because of their Grandchild (1/2)

”Is that true?” Rainy asked, wanting to be sure. ”The leafy will not leave their mother?”

”Of course. I won't lie to you. When you wake up tomorrow, you will see that all the leaves are gone because they are back with their mommy.”

Xia Ruoxin said as she peeled an egg and gave it to her daughter. ”Come, have an egg.”

”Thank you, Mommy.” Rainy took the egg and took a bite happily. However, she felt something was missing in her arms so she stretched a hand out towards her mother.

”Mommy, Dolly. I want Dolly.”

Xia Ruoxin stood up in search of her daughter's doll. Gosh, where had she left her doll? After searching for a long time, Xia Ruoxin finally found the doll under the bed. She pulled it out and gave it to her teary daughter as she brushed a finger on Rainy's button nose. ”You misplaced Dolly. Next time, you will have to search for her yourself.”

Rainy pouted her lips. She tugged at her mother's clothes with her small hand and apologized.

”I'm sorry, Mommy. I won't misplace Dolly again.”

Xia Ruoxin loved that Rainy was a courteous child. Since her child was young, she had always been a little lady no matter what. That was her daughter. Looking at Rainy, the girl had grown prettier and cuter.

Xia Ruoxin took her sketchbook out and started working. Rainy would go to bed once she was tired of playing.

She switched on her computer. Unsurprisingly, A Sunny Day will Come had been online quite often lately.

Summer's Not Over: ”It's very late. You're still awake?”

A Sunny Day will Come: ”Yes. Can't sleep. What about you?”

Summer's Not Over: ”My child is still awake.”

A Sunny Day will Come: ”You will be a good mother.”

Summer's Not Over: ”I can tell that you will also be a good father.”

Father? Chu Lui smiled bitterly, and it hurt his swollen face. He would experience what she was going through for as long as he lived. He wouldn't know what it felt like to be a father, and neither would he be one. This was karma. He robbed her of her ability to conceive so now this was his retribution.

”Mommy, I'm sleepy.”

Rainy rubbed her eyes. She was getting sleepy.

Xia Ruoxin came over and scooped her daughter up in one hand. Then, she washed Rainy's hands, face, and feet before tucking her into bed to let her sleep alone. Rainy was an easy child to raise. All Xia Ruoxin had to do was placed Dolly into Rainy's arms, and the little girl would fall asleep. She was also different from the other children whose favorite was watching cartoons. She liked to draw and didn't really spend a lot of time watching television. Her only love was her doll. Sometimes, Xia Ruoxin was worried that her child might be slightly autistic.

Gao Yi also mentioned that Rainy was more sensible than an average child. Naturally, she was also more sensitive, too. This couldn't be helped. They could only wait for her to grow older in the hopes that it would be better.

She waited until Rainy was asleep, and then she quickly finished her work for the online website while there was still time. One painting for two hundred dollars. Even if Gao Yi didn't give her any money for her monthly expenses, she would have enough to raise her daughter. On top of that, there was the job at the art studio. The salary might not be great, but she and Rainy's livelihood for the next month would be covered.

On the other hand, Gao Yi had been gone for quite a long time. She wondered how he was doing and whether he would be coming back. The brush in her hand paused. She felt a sense of loss like the gusts of wind outside which had been blowing away the fallen leaves and racking up dust in its path.
