Hearing what Ann said, Melinda recovered to a calm state. The plum blossom mark at the corner of her eyes looks charming.
"Didn't your father mention me to you over the past years?"
Ann stared at the beautiful woman in front of her, who was middle-aged but still retained her charm.
She felt more unease.
"Or are you curious about the reason that I often bring Phillip to see you?"
Ann held his knees more tightly.
She was curious.
...
Clear Water Town was closed and conservative. When Ann was young, the neighbors did not allow their children to play with her due to the rumors of her mother.
She didn't have friends. The other children played house, jumped rope, and played hide-and-seek while she could only hide in the corner to watch.
She still remembered the time when someone was willing to call her to play games.
It was a game called fruit basket. Everyone had a fruit name in the game. Anyone who got called can go out to play together.
Among strawberries, apples, grapes, what fruit name Ann was given was cornbread.
To the southerners, the cornbread was hard to eat and tastes bad.
The cornbread did not belong to fruit, so no one called Ann.
She waited from day to night. Other kids had gone home, leaving her alone on the lawn.
She didn't know the feeling the loneliness but felt upset.
It didn't change until Melinda appeared with Phillip.
Young Phillip was handsome and arrogant, with a tough but warm personality.
He gradually became her little boy and only playmate in those years.
