She pursed her lips and said in a light voice, "Okay, I promise you, but you also have to promise me one thing."
Faye's heart fluttered with joy and she quickly asked, "What is it?"
"Don't ever say those things to Anne again, Aunt Faye, you know that I have always treated Anne as if she were my own daughter, and I don't want anyone to come between us, especially not our relatives."
Faye blushed.
From panic, to irritation, and finally deep shame.
She slightly bowed her head, her tone was a little weak, "I ...... I did not mean to, I was just too angry, a momentary ghost ......"
"I don't care what you did because of." Natalia's voice was cold with an unprecedented seriousness, "Anyway, in the future, I don't want such a thing to happen again."
"Okay, I promise, I'll never talk nonsense again."
Faye agreed in a hurry.
Natalia then nodded and stood up.
"Don't worry, when you talk to Archie, I'll speak up for you."
After saying that, he turned around and went out.
Faye watched her back as she left, and only then did she heaved a sigh of relief.
After Natalia left the restaurant, she received a call from Anne.
It was Sunday, and Anne was calling from her home phone.
As soon as I got through, I heard the sweet voice of my little baby, "Mommy, are you off work yet, have you eaten yet?"
Natalia sat in the car and couldn't help but laugh, "It's time to get off work and eat, has Anne eaten yet?"
"Anne ate too, but Anne missed Mommy, so she called Mommy."
"So that's how it is." Natalia thought about it and asked her, "It's Anne's birthday today. Later, when Mommy comes back from work, pick up Anne and go to Greatgrandma's for her birthday, okay?"
Anne cheered excitedly, "Yes, I want mousse cake, and I want to wear the prettiest dress."
"Okay, let Mrs. Dottie find you pretty little dresses to wear when Mommy comes back to pick you up."
"Yes, Mommy, I love you."
"I love you too, bye."
"Bye bye mommy."
Hanging up the phone, she sat in the car, the corners of her lips could not help but hook up a smile.
Then, only to get out of the car and walk towards the company building.
Natalia worked until 5:30 before she got off the bus.
Archie also got off work early. Everyone knew it was the little princess' birthday, so they all purposely left work early to go home and pick her up for the reunion.
In fact, Natalia and the others have the habit of coming to the old house for dinner on weekends, after all, they don't have to come during the week, but every weekend they have to come and spend some time with the two old people.
Today coincides with Anne's birthday, so it just so happens to be together.
When I got home, I received a large and a small baby, and then I set out to drive to the old house.
On the way, Natalia and Archie talk a little about Faye.
