Alex looks at Miya affectionately and says, "You have worked hard all these years."
Aileen looks at the side, feeling very uncomfortable. She is about to step forward but is surrounded by children.
"Auntie! Don’t mind, my father is like this, he treat our mother better than others."
Ben says and Joey nods quickly.
Aileen leans over to look at Joey's little face and says, "It's really hard for you that your parents are irresponsible."
Joey also sighs and says, "Aunt, I'm so miserable! Why don't you take me out."
Aileen shakes her head, and she says, "I'm here to go to you for shelter this time."
"Well..." Joey suddenly has nothing to say.
Afterwards, Alex takes Miya back to the house, and others also follow them.
Arriving in the house, Alex places Miya on the sofa in the living room. They ask why Aileen came here.
Aileen sighs when she hears it, and she says, "because I don’t listen to Dad like Alex, I was driven out."
"What?" Miya still can't understand what Aileen is saying.
"That is the day when Grace comes to the hospital to see my Dad. I am straightforward, so I speak something directly." Aileen says, "It is normal for the next few days, I think it will be fine. As a result, on the day when I go to the company, I am suddenly notified that I can not participate in the international competition."
Miya remembers that Aileen has told her about the international competition. At that time, Aileen is thinking about how she reacts as a judge.
"Why?" Joey frowns, and she says, "Mommy has also participated in this competition, she wins the championship. I think you are beautiful, and you should be able to win the championship."
"..." Miya listens to Joey and can't help reminding, "Joey. This is a design competition, not a beauty contest."
Joey is speechless, "Anyway, the championship is should be good-looking. I just think that aunt looks good, and the design is definitely beautiful."
Aileen feels happy and she immediately squats down and hugs Joey and says, "I also think Joey looks good."
"And then?" Miya asks. Aileen doesn't tell the main reason!
"Then..." Aileen recalls the scene that day.
She goes to the company, and someone passes the documents to her when she arrives at the office. "Only one person in per company can participate in this international competition. Our company has appointed someone, so you don't need to go."
Aileen looks up at the woman, a colleague in the same department, named Tina.
Aileen asks, "Since there can only be one person, why should I leave?"
