Third person's POV

"Patricia, do I look pretty or not? Come on! Tell me." Hedwig pouted as if she would cry immediately if Patricia said otherwise.

Patricia propped herself up on the bed beside her. She held her waist with one hand and continued to laugh. "Hedwig, who taught you this?"

Hedwig said confidently, "Kids on TV do what their mommies do. Don't I look pretty?"

Patricia walked quickly over and crouched down. Then she carefully removed, one by one, the diamond necklaces that Hedwig wore around her neck. Patricia said, "It seems that your daddy sure did buy a lot of jewelry for your mommy. They've just started dating and he's already bought her so much jewelry! Why are you wearing all of them on your neck?"

"I like shiny things. They are so beautiful. When I grow up, I want daddy to buy me necklaces too. I want many!" Hedwig said loudly.

Patricia nodded and said, "OK! Sure! When you are old enough to wear them, you can ask your daddy to buy you as many as you want. I'm sure he will buy anything you want."

"Really? Did daddy ever buy you any jewelry?" Hedwig asked curiously.

Patricia paused while holding the jewelry, and she said madly, "Well, he never bought any for me! What a terrible son! He only buys them for the girls he loves! But not me. And I'm his grandma! I'm gonna talk to him someday!"

"Patricia, don't be mad. When daddy gets back, I will ask him to buy you some. I will ask him to buy you many, many pieces of jewelry!" Hedwig tried to comfort Patricia, looking like a grown-up.

Patricia was touched. She rubbed Hedwig's head and said happily, "Hedwig, you are a great child. You have been very kind to me at such a young age. I am glad to be your grandma!"

Hedwig pouted and kissed Patricia on the face. Patricia got even happier.

After removing all the jewels that Hedwig wore, Patricia felt a headache as she looked at the pile. Patricia said, "I guess we have to wait till your mommy gets home. I no longer have good eyesight. I don't want to break any of these."

Hedwig looked at the messy jewelry and asked in concern, "Patricia, will mommy be mad at me after she gets back and sees these?"
