Doris spent an exhausting hour and a half on the subway after work before finally arriving at Tanglewood Oaks. Ever since Laura married into the Webb family, Doris hadn’t visited her very often.
When Doris found Laura’s villa, she rang the doorbell, and to her relief, Laura answered the door.
Laura was wearing an apron and an old outfit Doris remembered seeing her in a couple of years ago, and her hair was hastily tied up in a messy bun. The Laura standing before Doris now seemed like a completely different person from the polished, stylish one she used to know.
“Hey, Doris! Come in.” Laura greeted Doris with a warm tone and pointed inside. “Ari’s already home from school.”
Doris stepped inside and immediately saw Arianna playing alone with her building blocks in the living room.
“Ari, look who’s here,” Laura said to Arianna.
Arianna looked up, her eyes lighting up the moment she saw Doris. She jumped up, ran straight into Doris’s arms, and squealed, “Oh, Aunt Doris!”
“Good girl.” Doris crouched down to scoop Arianna up. “Guess what I brought you?”
Arianna tilted her head, thinking hard and muttering, “A toy? A book? Or chocolate?”
With a bright grin, Doris held out a small square box and said, “Ta–da! Open it and see if you guessed right.”
Arianna opened the box and gasped, “Wow! My favorite strawberry cake.”
“I made it just for you. It’s super healthy,” Doris said, raising her eyebrows playfully.
“Thank you, Aunt Doris. You’re the best.” Arianna hugged Doris tightly and planted several kisses on her cheeks.
Doris gently pinched Arianna’s cheek with a smile and teased, “You’re such a smooth–talker, Ari.”
While Arianna happily dug into her cake, Doris handed over a few shopping bags to Laura. “I got you some clothes and skincare stuff.”
Laura looked at the bags, clearly overwhelmed, and she replied, “You didn’t have to do this. I’m not exactly broke, you know. You should save your money for yourself.”
“Laura, these are beauty supplements. Look how haggard you are now. You don’t want others to call you Ari’s grandmother, don’t you?” Doris’s tone was teasing but concerned.
Laura, and she added, “I know you’re doing your best to take care of your family, but a
