Chapter 1407
Taya was working day and night on the design sketches Rosalie had left behind. When she heard Frank say that
Harper had arrived, she stopped writing and got up from her
desk.
It was the weekend, and Grace was at home, sitting happily on the living room carpet, playing with Lego bricks under the watchful eye of the nanny.
As soon as Harper walked in, she saw Grace, who had gained
a few pounds and looked like a little ball, sitting cross-legged
on the blanket.
Harper went up to her and tried to pick her up, but couldn’t. “How much have your Auntie been feeding her?” she
exclaimed.
Embarrassed, Grace covered her chubby face and said, “Oh, Harper, I’m growing taller now, so I might gain a little weight. But when I grow up, I’ll be as slim as you guys.”
Harper gently touched her round belly and said, “Who knows how long we’ll have to wait for you to grow up…”
Grace stretched out her hands and compared them in front of
Harper’s eyes. “I just need to gain a few more pounds for ten more years, and then I’ll be all grown up…”
Harper burst into laughter and pinched her little round face. “You’re quite adorable like this.”
With her head tilted, Grace said dreamily, “The teacher
also said I’m cute. It seems she didn’t lie to me, her future
daughter-in-law.”
Harper was shocked and widened her eyes. “What future daughter-in-law?”
Taya came down the stairs, smiling as she chimed in, “She said she wants to mate the teacher’s son when she grows up. The little guy is in the same class as Grace.”
“Oh my, thinking about mating at such a young age.”
“Yeah, right?”
Taya walked up to them and touched Grace’s little head. “If
the teacher’s son wasn’t handsome, she wouldn’t be willing to
mate him.”
Grace imitated the adults and snapped her fingers. “Auntie guessed it right! I want to mate him because he’s good-looking!”
Harper pretended to be serious and scolded Grace. “You need to change this habit. Just because someone is good-looking doesn’t mean they’re a good person…”
Deep in thought, Grace pondered for a moment and then rebutted Harper. “Although not all good-looking people are good, there are also bad people who are ugly. So, between ugly and good-looking, I choose a good-looking bad
person…”
Harper: …
Taya burst into laughter. “She has a twisted logic, and you can’t argue with her.”
