The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 308

Chapter 308

Just then, Marian, who had just finished a meeting and was heading downstairs for lunch with a friend, was tickled by Theresa's child-like logic.

Stepping out of the elevator, she was instantly drawn to the little girl perched on the sofa. Overhearing their conversation and struck by Theresa's earnest, forlorn look, she couldn't help but chuckle and play along, “Exactly, sitting isn't playing.”

Hearing a voice, Theresa instinctively turned to see a pretty stranger approaching, and though a bit shy, she greeted her politely, "Hello."

Marian was delighted by her courteous and sweet demeanor and couldn't resist squatting down to pat her head, "Hello, little one."

Looking over at Grace, she burst out with a compliment, "You're raising her right, she's such a good girl."

Thrilled, Grace modestly replied, "It's all thanks to her mom."

Marian wasn't surprised - the cutie pie didn't look like Grace.

Marian sat next to Theresa. She noticed the cloth bag next to her and reached out

to move it aside, not expecting the little girl to suddenly panic, "Don't throw it away."

She said, scrambling to retrieve it.

Startled by her urgency, Marian asked, "What's wrong?"

Grace quickly stepped in, "Oh, that's her milk bottle bag - she treasures it."

Marian, taken aback by her reaction, realized just how much the bag meant to Theresa.

Marian was surprised: "Really? Kiddo, aren't you just the cutest?"

She couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Theresa's cheek.

Theresa was tickled by her exaggerated expressions and actions that she managed a stiff smile.
