Talia said, "It's really good, the taste is amazing. What if Timmy wants to eat it again tomorrow? I'm afraid I won't be able to recreate this taste! It's the taste of a mother's love, after all!"
Camille laughed and said, "If he wants to eat more, he can line up. But it mainly depends on whether you and Dad want to eat. I'll wake up at 5 am tomorrow morning and come back to make it for both of you."
Fletcher also smiled with relief and said, "Indeed, having a good daughter-in-law is like having an extra daughter. I haven't enjoyed such filial piety from Ayan in all these years."
"Yes, having a daughter is better, but even if Aria comes back to Hance City, she rarely visits. I think I still need to let her stay at home, otherwise she might forget her own surname," Talia complained, feeling quite unhappy deep down. As she spoke, her appetite vanished.
She truly felt uncomfortable because Aria was in Hance City. Except for the incident with the old Simpson, they rarely met in person. Most of the time, they only communicated without seeing each other. Occasionally, when she wanted to have a meal with her daughter, Talia had to make an appointment in advance, but Aria might not always be available.
Due to being too busy with work, she didn't even have time to spend with her family.
Camille, being a mother herself, understood Talia's thoughts. While peeling eggs for Talia, she whispered reassuringly, "Mom, Aria is a girl with dreams and aspirations. She loves her current career and naturally wants to excel in it. Isn't it true that as children grow up, they move further away from their parents? As parents, all we want is for our children to be well. As long as they are doing well, we are happy, right?"
Talia nodded with deep emotion and said, "Yes, you're right. I know all of this, but sometimes I feel a sense of loss in my heart. After all, I can't spend time with my own daughter, and that's somewhat sad and distressing."
"Don't you still have me? If you feel bored and want to go shopping or have a meal, you can always find me. As for Aria, don't worry, I'll talk to her properly. I'm sure she won't refuse me so easily. How about the three of us have a meal together? Of course, if you feel like I'm bothering you, I can reserve a separate table next door, okay?" Camille smiled lightly, her gaze fixed on Talia.
Upon hearing this, Talia quickly said, "Of course, that's possible. We are all family."
Camille smiled and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Yes, much better. I understand her now, but I still hope she can spend more time with us," Talia replied softly.
Fletcher also chimed in, "Children have their own things to do. If you feel bored and have nothing to pass the time, I'll take you and Timmy out to play for a couple of days. It's also considerate of Cami. If it were someone else, your negative thoughts would definitely affect them."
Camille quickly said, "Dad, don't worry. I don't have such thoughts at all. We are all family, and family doesn't need to worry about these things. We can talk openly about anything. Mom is just missing Aria too much."
Talia immediately said, "That's right, Cami understands me the most. Look, you don't understand me at all."
Fletcher raised his hand in a surrendering gesture and laughed, "Alright, alright, it's my fault. I said the wrong thing. I apologize to both of you. Don't hold it against me."
There was no doubt that Fletcher had nothing to say against Talia. After being married for so many years, he always spoke softly and gently to Talia, which was one of the main reasons for their strong bond.
Talia also cooperated with Fletcher's apology, saying, "Okay, I accept your apology. I'll forgive you this time, but don't do it again, got it?"
Fletcher nodded in agreement.
Watching the interaction between these two, Camille couldn't help but smile. Despite spending a considerable amount of time together, their dynamic was no different from that of young people.
