Chapter 43

After dinner, Bria went to the alley to play with the children she had just met.

Since Bria was from the city and she was so adorable with her big, sparkling eyes, looking just like the stars in the sky, the children there liked her very much. With her amiable personality, the locals were happy to let her join them to play together.

With a basket of fruits in her arms, she walked in casually. “My son harvested these from the farm just now. I chose the best ones for you guys to have a taste.” She grinned from ear to ear, making it look like she was overdoing it.

Then, she grabbed an orange from the basket and showed it to them. “This is a grade A navel orange. It’s specially used to serve VIPs out there in the city.”

From her buttering-up look, it was apparent that she was afraid that Amelie would ask her for the rent. payment. She had been renting the house for many years. If Amelie really calculated it, the house rent would go up to tens of thousands.
