Chapter 953 - Cuteness Attack! (1/2)
”Yay! We're going sightseeing! I love it!” Ava was jumping up and down in excitement as she followed Xiu towards their usual destination for 'sightseeing.'
”Tone it down a little,” warned Asteria in a serious tone but the glint in her eyes gave away her own excitement.
Xiu was carrying her son with the baby carrier which made Rowan press against her ċhėst. As she held the hands of the two girls following her, she asked, ”Did you tell your mom where you're going?”
Ava pushed her tongue and giggled, ”No. Mom doesn't ask me anything if I tell her I'm going to see Xiu.” And then she looked up at Xiu with admiration in her eyes. Usually, Nora would ask her about everything but as long as she said Xiu's name, everything in the world was possible. How could she not admire this aunt of hers?
Her aunt ruled the world!
Xiu felt a little shy being under this hot and admiring gaze. Also felt a little guilty. She didn't think she was that awesome. Okay, she usually did say she was awesome but let's be real for a minute! She didn't think there was anything awesome in her that was worthy of this admiration from these pure and innocent kids.
But she couldn't deny, she loved this feeling as well.
Since the time Rowan was born, these two girls had become inseparable from Xiu. They followed her like a shadow. On usual weekdays they might not find the time to come and find her but on weekends, they had to spend time with her. Xiu actually didn't mind their presence and quite enjoyed herself.
”Momma!” Rowan called out and Xiu looked down at him. The little three years old was staring at her intently and instantly gave her a smile with his tiny teeth. How cute! Little Rowan held his mother's hair and continued to play as he giggled.
”Yes, your highness! Do you need something?” asked Xiu.
Little Rowan nodded his head and said, ”Kitty!” He pointed happily at the quite a fluffy cat with pure white fur that made her look majestic and quite conceited. Her tail was lazily swaying around as she laid on the ŀȧp of her owner and didn't even bother to open her eyes to see the world. As if the people around her were not even worthy of her gaze.
”You have quite a taste, son!” said Xiu. ”But you can't have a kitty. Have you looked at it? She might be heavier than you are. You'll get buried under her weight.”
Both Asteria and Ava laughed out at Xiu. They always ended up laughing because of Xiu. After all, this aunt of theirs always said things randomly and totally out of expectations! She had a unique talent.
Little Rowan pouted at his mother, ”Momma!”
”Don't play cute with me,” said Xiu sternly. ”I'm still not falling for it.”
