Hearing these words, Sophia felt a surge of gratification; it turned out that Colin had done a good job raising his son. He was such a little gentleman.
"I don't have anything particular in mind now. Why don't you choose a restaurant?"
Ambrose thought for a moment and said, "Daddy once took me to a Western restaurant on the top floor of this building. Let's go there."
"Okay!"
Standing on Ambrose's left side and right side, Wendy and Sophia held one hand each, and they all proceeded to the elevator.
As they were about to go to the top floor, Sophia saw a toy store. She stopped and said, "Brody, would you like Aunt Sophia to buy you a toy?"
Wendy wanted to turn down the offer because he already had too many toys at home. But then she remembered that it would be the first gift from his birth mother, so she didn't say anything.
Ambrose, on the contrary, was thrilled to hear it. "Yes! Aunt Sophia, what are you going to get me?" he jumped with joy and asked.
"Well, how about we go inside and pick one?"
"Okay! You are so nice, Aunt Sophia! Come on, let me give you a kiss!"
"... Hahaha! You are so adorable!" Sophia bent down and kissed Ambrose on the cheek.
To her surprise, Ambrose didn't seem very happy about the kiss. "I am supposed to kiss you, not you kissing me, Aunt Sophia," he pouted.
"All right, all right!" Sophia bent over and let Ambrose give her a kiss on the cheek.
Wendy was very pleased to see that the mother and her son were getting along so well. She had been taking care of the kid since he was born, but seldom did she see him get this happy.
In the toy store
Sophia soon got lost in the sea of toys for little boys. However, it didn't take Ambrose long to pick out something he liked. "Aunt Sophia, I want this one!"
Looking over to where he pointed, Sophia saw a glossy white racing yacht with light blue accents.
A saleslady stepped forward and gave an overview of the toy. She said, "This is a high-speed remote control racing yacht. It is made of glass fiber. Baking varnish was used to treat the surface of the material, same as what one uses for cars. It can reach a maximum, constant speed of 90 km/h. Moreover, it's equipped with a 2.4G transmitter and has a solid waterproof protection..."
Sophia had no idea of what those technical terms mean, but when she saw the way Ambrose's eyes glowed as he listened to the description of the racing yacht, she knew she would buy it for him.
"He had always been very enthusiastic about boats, racing yachts, and stuff like that," Wendy said with a wry smile. Indeed, Ambrose's room was already filled with different models of boats, racing yachts, and similar toys.
Sophia took note of this hobby of Ambrose and kept it in mind.
The racing yacht costed more than six thousand yuan, but Sophia bought it without the slightest hesitation. Wendy tried to stop her. The racing yacht was too expensive, but Sophia insisted. She was glad she can buy him a gift.
Six thousand yuan was not a lot of money for her. She had been saving up to repay Colin.
After they had entered the elevator, Ambrose asked Sophia excitedly, "Aunt Sophia, would you please come visit us next weekend, so we can play this racing yacht together?"
'Next weekend?' Sophia went through her work schedule in her mind and decided that if she worked a few extra hours on the weekdays, she would be able to make it on the weekend. She, then, nodded and said yes.
Upon hearing that, Ambrose did a little dance of happiness.
Wendy was amazed to see her grandson dance for joy. She said to Sophia, "He is not normally like this. He is usually arrogant and maybe even a little cold. Even when he was excited, he wouldn't let it show."
'Arrogant and cold?' Sophia was amused. However, when she looked at his little face once again, she did find traces of arrogance and coldness there.
The elevator arrived at the top floor, and they all stepped out.
"Welcome!" Six ushers greeted them and showed them in.
Wait...
