Chapter 365
Watching his tiny figure from the back, Sonia smiled even wider, and soon, he returned from the washroom. He even showed his hands to her so she could check if he had cleaned it. After she complimented him, saying that he had cleaned it well, only then did he drop his hands happily.
They left Paradigm Co, and she drove home to Bayside Residence together with him. In the midst of making dinner, she realized that she had run out of salt in the kitchen and wanted to buy some from

“Don’t worry, Aunt Sonia. I know what to do.” Standing on the step at the entrance, he waved goodbye to Sonia, who stroked his small head before heading out.

Sonia walked for a while, and suddenly, she felt someone following her. Stopping in her tracks, she turned around and looked behind, but she didn’t see anyone or anything.
