Chapter 375 - 375: 371: Meeting the Parents – Part 3
“Mrs. Green, sorry, Roy had to go back to the company temporarily. He should be back soon.”
Maggie is always straightforward to people she knows.
“Richelle, don’t be so distant, just call me Aunt like Roy does.”
Richelle could only smile and call her “Aunt,” then sat down and pointed to the snacks in a plate.
“These red bean biscuits were made by me and the kids. Aunt, please try some. Dinner is still a while away, just a little something to fill you up.”
Maggie agreed, and Richelle handed her the plate. After she had taken one, Richelle picked up another plate with fewer pieces and handed it to Timmy.
“Timmy, please take this to Uncle.”
Timmy took the plate, and Richelle instructed him, “Come back after you’ve put it down, and don’t disturb Uncle’s work.”
Timmy responded with a nod and hurried off with the plate.
Maggie took a bite and couldn’t stop praising.
“Mmm, these red bean biscuits are delicious. I haven’t tasted this flavor in years.”
Richelle responded, “These are local snacks from Lordon. I used to love them as a child. When I was in South Asia all those years, I missed them so much that I learned how to make them from online recipes. If you like them, Aunt, I’ll have Uncle Axel pack some for you to take home later.”
Food is the easiest way to bring people closer together, and children are no exception.
Maggie quickly finished her biscuit and took out two small boxes from her bag.
“Timothy, Tifanny, come on, Auntie congratulates you on being admitted to the top school.”
Without waiting for Richelle to say anything, Timothy and Tifanny took the small boxes with both hands and said in a sweet voice, “Thank you, Auntie!”
Maggie pinched their cheeks, unable to resist her love for them.
“Oh my, look at these three little cuties. I want to retire and go home to take care of my grandchildren.”
Richelle had heard from Roy that his two cousins were devoted to their scientific research and hadn’t yet married.
“If Aunt doesn’t mind the noise, please come and visit our home more often.”
Maggie nodded, “I will. My little darlings better not find Auntie annoying in the future.”
Timothy and Tifanny held their gifts and sat obediently back on the sofa.
Seeing this, Maggie pointed to the two small boxes.
“Richelle, those are two Jade Buddhas, blessed by a master. Timmy has one just like them.”
Maggie had been waiting for the Jade Buddha to give as a gift before coming to see the three little ones.
“Thank you for your thoughtful gift, Aunt!”
“By the way, I heard from Mr. Green that the children’s summer camp will be at that Tech Park in the suburbs?”
Richelle nodded, “Yes, that’s what Roy said. Does Uncle know about this too?”
Maggie nodded, “Of course he does. The Federation government highly supports and values this new school. These children will be the pillars of our country in the future.”
Richelle hadn’t thought about it in such a grand way, “I just wanted them to have a suitable environment for their physical and mental development. Staying at home all the time is not a solution, but sending them to regular schools wouldn’t be good for them or their classmates.”
“Yeah, you’re more practical in thinking. Roy used to be quite helpless with Timmy, fortunately, you came back, and Timmy has become much happier than before.”
Richelle could clearly feel the changes in Timmy, having been with him all this time.
For Maggie, who hasn’t seen him for a long time, the change is even more significant.
“Indeed, having brothers and sisters around has made him feel less lonely, and he’s become much more cheerful.”
Richelle didn’t have the habit of taking credit, especially since it’s her responsibility to take care of her own son.
Maggie had met countless people, but she soon took a great liking to Richelle after just a few conversations.
“While having siblings is essential, it’s ultimately you, the mother, who provides him with a strong sense of security.”
Richelle bowed slightly to her, “Thank you for taking care of and loving Timmy over the years.”
These days, Richelle has felt the malice that came from her family members in high society.
Although she herself was born into this high society and grew up amid the malice of family members, she didn’t feel it so deeply when she was on the receiving end.
However, when she found out about the malice and harm her son had once suffered, she wanted to kill them all.
Compared to that, warmth from relatives in high society seems all the more precious.
Maggie smiled at her, “No need to be so formal, they are our own family after all.”
Then she beckoned Timothy and Tifanny, who obediently moved closer and leaned against her.
“Darlings, what do you like?”
Timothy, not knowing whether it was intentional or not, said, “I like mommy, sister, daddy, brother, and Grandpa Clarkson…”
Maggie couldn’t help but laugh, “Sweetie, Auntie was asking what other gifts you’d like.”
Timothy grinned at her, “Auntie, I really like the Jade Buddha.”
Maggie patted him on the head and looked at Richelle.
“Timothy has quite a sweet-talker compared to Timmy.”
Richelle didn’t agree with her, “Timmy can talk too, but he’s just more upright and quiet, while Timothy is more active and has more ideas, so he seems to talk more..”
