"It’s ok. I know you're busy. Have you eaten yet?" Gia asked on the phone.
Eden smiled. "I'm going to eat now. You are not feeling well, so don't eat too much. Don't eat anything that would upset your stomach." She knew Gia wouldn't be able to control herself if she saw delicious food.
She didn't want her to feel upset anymore when other people thought she was fat.
Gia said, "I got it, mom. Don't worry about me. You should go to have dinner with dad now as well."
"Dad?" Eden suddenly looked up at Victor.
Victor was also looking at her calmly. Right, he was indeed the "dad" that Gia mentioned.
Eden glared at him and said nothing.
Victor didn't seem to care at all, instead, he leaned his ear against Eden's face and tried to listen to what Gia was saying.
"Mom, you are so silly. Who else can my dad be? Of course, it's Uncle Alwynn. Uncle Alwynn has already hugged you. Are you still thinking about other men? I wouldn't be happy with that. I only want Uncle Alwynn to be our father."
Hearing this, Eden's face flushed again. Why she didn't remember anything that Gia said?
"What are you talking about? You are too young to worry about this right now. Don't talk nonsense. Enjoy your meal. Don't stay up too later because you need to go to school tomorrow. Go to bed straight after you come back home, and stop thinking about these things."
"Okay, mom. You should also go and have dinner with dad now. Don't forget to bring me a younger brother when you come back." Gia said it quickly and hung up the phone straight after.
At this moment, at Zofia's food stall, everyone sitting at the table was looking at the little girl in shock.
Graciella looked at Gia and said, "Gia, where did you learn this?"
Gia wave her hand with the phone and said in a serious tone, "Aunt, are you serious? Don't think we are just children. We are not stupid, and we know everything about adults. So you adults really don't need to hide anything when you speak in front of us. We can find all the information we need online. We don't need you to teach us anything."
Graciella and Abigail looked at each other and felt totally speechless. They had to admit that the children these days were really different.
They thought they knew everything when they got a smartphone.
On the other side of the phone, Eden was also shocked by her daughter's words.
Gia asked her to have a bay with Victor?
Was it really her daughter on the phone?
However, Victor seemed to feel very happy. He smiled and looked at Eden meaningfully.
He leaned over slightly and whispered in her ear, "Why don't we just listen to Gia and bring her a little brother tonight?"
Eden glared at him. "Did you tell her all these?
I can't believe she just said that."
"Why would I tell her this? You think too much." Victor felt a little aggrieved.
"Hmph!" Eden snorted at him. She was afraid that they would not need to go home anymore if they carry on arguing. "Have you still not finished your work yet?"
Victor smiled and shook his head. "It's almost done. I don't need to finish it tonight. Let's go to have dinner."
He got up as he spoke. He could say confidently that he was a successful businessman.
However, he could not say that he was a successful man. His life was full of pain and waiting, and it was filled with sad things.
