Chapter 276 Find Me a New Dad
Mao Mao spent most of the day at her new friend's house, which was the time she would spend having her piano lesson.
She also played with the golden retriever for a while, rolling around until she smelled like a puppy. After she got tired of playing, she shared the snacks she had brought with Sophie.
Mao Mao prepared five kinds of snacks as gifts. The two little girls ate until their bellies were round, but there were still many left.
Sophie licked her lips: "Mao Mao, this dessert is really delicious."
Mao Mao confidently raised her little head: "My family's chef uncle cooks really well, you can come to my house for dinner."
When they got home, Mao Mao pointed to a small red brick villa with a pointed roof not far away: "That's my home."
Sophie exclaimed in surprise, "It's so close!"
"You can come and play with me!" Mao Mao smiled, revealing two sweet dimples. "Let's chase cats together."
The golden retriever wagged its tail excitedly: "Woof!"
The two little girls waved goodbye, and then Mao Mao took the hands of the eldest lady and her mother on the left and right, and went home with them.
After walking quite a distance and making sure they couldn't hear her, Xia Xiaoxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over!"
The first wife smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous?"
“That Miss Bei is even more serious than our old lady. I get scared just looking at her,” Xia Xiaoxiang said, still shaken. “Sometimes, she doesn’t say anything, she just glances at me like that, and I worry that I’ve said something wrong!”
Xia Xiaoxiang was also timid when she first met Old Madam Lou.
She had never met such a proper and dignified old lady before, but after spending more time with her, she realized that Old Madam Lou was cold on the outside but soft on the inside, and often paid out of her own pocket to buy them food, drinks and entertainment.
Miss Bei was different.
In order not to embarrass her daughter, Xia Xiaoxiang tried her best to socialize, but after a whole day, she remained the same as always.
Miss Bei mostly spoke to the First Madam, and when she responded to her, she was extremely cold, often making Xia Xiaoxiang think she had said something stupid.
The first wife smiled but said nothing.
She looked down and patted Mao Mao's head: "Is Mao Mao happy today?"
Mao Mao answered loudly, "Happy!"
The first wife said, "Then next time you can invite little Sophie to our house as a guest, and can you treat her well?"
Mao Mao was excited and shouted even louder, "Mao Mao can do it!"
The first wife smiled and nodded: "Yes, then we'll have to rely on Mao Mao."
On the way home, Mao Mao became even more excited.
They spent the day as guests at the minister's house, and as soon as they entered, everyone came to ask them questions.
"How about it?"
"Have you seen the French Minister? I heard he is young and promising, not yet forty years old."
The first wife said, "I didn't see the minister, only the minister's daughter and the housekeeper."
As soon as Mao Mao entered the door, she happily went to play with the big white cat.
When she wasn't home, the big white cat would lie on the sofa to rest. As usual, Mao Mao wanted to pounce on it to play, but the big white cat suddenly sat up straight.
"Kitty?"
The big white cat looked as if it were facing a formidable enemy, its back arched, its fur standing on end, and it hissed at Mao Mao warily.
Confused, Mao Mao reached out to touch its fur: "It's me, Kitty..."
"Meow--"
The big white cat scratched at Mao Mao with its paws, then turned its head and jumped off the sofa, for the first time unwilling to get close to its good friend.
"Kitty?"
"Oh dear, Mao Mao, where did you get that puppy smell?" Second Aunt said. "Go wash up, cats and dogs don't get along."
"oh!!"
Mao Mao obediently ran to wash her hands and take a bath.
When she came back and reached out again, the big white cat finally approached her, sniffing her fingers to make sure there was no unpleasant dog smell before jumping over to Mao Mao's side, rubbing against her, and lying down.
Meow~
...
After her friend left, Sophie remained standing in the yard, watching as Mao Mao was surrounded by her two mothers until their figures disappeared from sight.
The golden retriever wagged its tail and nudged her hand affectionately.
Sophie played frisbee with it for a while, then suddenly remembered something and ran into the house.
Miss Bailey was preparing dinner in the kitchen when, taking advantage of her inattention, Sophie tiptoed upstairs, arrived at the study, and gently knocked on the door.
"Knock knock".
"Please come in."
Sophie tiptoed and turned the lock on the study door.
Hearing the door open, the minister, who was busy behind his desk, looked up and saw his youngest daughter standing in the doorway. He put down his pen in surprise: "Sophie?"
His blonde little daughter stood hesitantly by the door.
The minister noticed her nervousness and opened his arms to her: "Come here, my little angel."
Sophie breathed a sigh of relief and ran over to sit in his lap.
"Daddy."
"What's troubling you, my darling?" the minister said. "I heard you've made a new friend; I can hear you laughing in my study."
Little Sophie mustered her courage: "Daddy, can you find me another dad?"
Minister: "???!"
