Chapter 517 - Little Assistant (1/2)

”Auntie, does anyone sell breakfast here?” Nadine asked weakly. She was really hungry because she had not had breakfast today.

Her uncle was very cruel to her and even Harris couldn't help her...

When she heard Nadine's way of calling her, Anya immediately said, ”Don't call me aunt.  Aiden and I divorced two years ago. Didn't Mrs. Hana prepare breakfast today?”

”I live at Harris' house. My uncle doesn't want to see my face now so I can't have breakfast,” Nadine's voice grew slower and lower.

Anya didn't know why Aiden didn't want to meet Nadine when the man had been trying to search for her before.

Anya stopped by her flower shop first and then greeted the owner. ”Aunt Lanny, do you remember me?”

”Anya! You're back! Where are you going now?” Lanny asked. It had been a long time since she met Anya.

”I want to go to work. My friend has a tire flat. Can I leave her bicycle at your shop?”

Without thinking, Lanny immediately nodded. ”Of course. Just leave it here. Tonight you can take it again. Don't forget to lock the bike,”

”Thank you, Auntie!” Anya thanked Lanny and Nadine immediately did the same thing.

”You are welcome. Go to work! You will be late!” Lanny waved her hand.

Anya turned and walked towards the bus stop. Meanwhile, Nadine immediately followed behind her.

”Wait for me!” Naturally, Nadine immediately took Anya's hand, as if they had been close friends for a long time.

Anya felt a little embarrassed. To her, Nadine was a stranger.

They had never met before, nor befriend each other. Plus, she and Aiden were divorced. She felt that her relationship with Nadine was getting more and more awkward.

Now she would go to Iris, where everyone knew that the place belonged to Aiden. If people saw her holding hands with Nadine, what would they think of her?

”Auntie, do you know the way to the Atmajaya Group's mall? I don't know where it' exactly since I've been away for years. Can you help me?” Nadine asked.

Anya frowned at the call again. Nadine was indeed Nico's sister. Like her brother, Nadine didn't want to understand her words.

Anya had said that she and Aiden were divorced and asked Nadine not to call her aunt. But the girl insisted.

”Why did you go to the mall so early in the morning?” Anya asked.

”To work,” Nadine answered.

”I'm heading there too. Come with me,” Anya replied.

”Thank you!” Nadine replied cheerfully.

Anya's face was flat, but actually she could feel Nadine's cheerfulness. At least she didn't feel lonely on her journey.

Nadine was very talkative. Even to new people, she could get close to anyone and fit in anywhere easily.

She easily opened herself to other people, even telling about her fight with Nico when she was a child. That's how Anya knew that Nadine was the girl who disappeared along with Keara, not Maria's biological daughter.

When they arrived at their destination, Anya and Nadine got off together.

When passing the supermarket, Nadine asked Anya to stop by first. ”Auntie, I want to buy bread first. Do you also want one?”

”You only eat bread for your breakfast?” Anya asked.

”I have no money. I'm only allowed 20 thousand a day. So I can only buy bread,” as she said it, Nadine pursed her lips sadly.

Aiden really was cruel. He only gave 20 thousand for Nadine.

Nadine worked overtime and didn't have time to go home by bus. How did she get home? On foot?

”Do you want one, auntie?” Nadine turned and looked at Anya with a smile. ”This bread costs 10 thousand. I have 20 thousand, so I can buy two.”

Anya shook her head. ”Thank you. But I've had breakfast. You buy it.”
