Nicole avoided Chatty as if she was fleeing from a plague.
Chatty did not realize that her mother was disgusted by her. The big fish was still flapping its tail in her little arms, splashing water everywhere.
The little girl grinned happily.
Nicole could not help but laugh and took out her phone to take a photo of Chatty.
"Our little Chatty is so strong!"
"Mommy! Carry it..."
"Mommy doesn't want to carry it. You can carry it yourself!"
After Nicole finished speaking, Chatty pouted unhappily, carried the big fish, and turned to leave.
Chatty even snorted before leaving.
Nicole looked at her daughter in shock. " Who did she learn this from?!"
Floyd glanced at Nicole. "Why don't you think about who’s been at home during this time?"
Nicole paused. "Third Brother?”
This was very much like Kai's temper.
Chatty got back into the water, let go of the fish, and caught another fish to play with.
The few fishes in the fountain were exhausted from Chatty playing around with them.
Seeing that it was almost time, Mr. Anderson instructed the maid to cook.
Nicole told Mr. Anderson that Clayton would be eating out, so he did not need to keep aside food for Clayton.
In the evening, Chatty was tired from playing. She put on her clothes and started a new round of games.
Nicole looked at the crown on Chatty's head. The gold crown looked familiar and expensive.
She squinted her eyes.
"Dad, this crown is a bit like..."
What was it like?
Nicole had not thought of it yet.
Floyd raised his head and casually said," Oh, Chatty said the crown the Queen of England wore was very beautiful, so I got someone to make an identical one with gold. The pearls on it are taken from the necklace you put in the safe. Isn’t it pretty?'
He raised his head proudly and raised his eyebrows.
Nicole was silent and speechless.
Chatty seemed to notice that Floyd was complimenting her crown. She shook her little head and ran to her mother. Then, she leaned closer to Nicole and imitated Floyd's tone.
"Is it pretty?”
Nicole looked at Floyd helplessly ?c":RMT? said, “Isn’t it heavy...”
Moreover, it was just a toy. Chatty would get sick of it in a few days, so why did Floyd make it out of gold?
Floyd even dismantled the pearl necklace in her collection.
Nicole was completely speechless and
mourned her pearl necklace.
Of course, she also pitied herself.
Chatty already had such precious jewelry at such a young age. With Floyd pampering Chatty like that, it was no wonder that Chatty always wanted to come back to the Stanton Mansion.
Floyd was pleased as he sized up Chatty.
"It's not heavy. She’ll get used to wearing it. I also prepared a few gold beaded necklaces for her. They're gorgeous! Girls ought to dress up when they go out.
Otherwise, she'll look too dull. Look at Old Master Leahy! He always brings his granddaughter out and shows off how well-dressed she is! Our little Chatty is so beautiful, so we can't lose! If his granddaughter wears pearls, we'll wear gold. If they wear gold, we'll wear diamonds!"
Nicole's heart trembled a little.
Chatty was so young, yet she was already involved in the infighting between affluent families.
Why was the competition between old men so strange?
"Dad, Uncle Leahy’s granddaughter is probably eight or nine years old. That's why she has to dress appropriately for social events. How old is our baby?"
Nicole held her forehead speechlessly.
Floyd glared at Nicole in disdain.
"Aesthetics are cultivated from childhood! When you were young, I dressed you up well every day. How could you just make do when it's your turn to dress Chatty up?"
He snorted in dissatisfaction.
Floyd stood up, carried Chatty, and left.
"Come, Lil Chatty. Grandpa will take you and Tigger for a walk.
Nicole helplessly sat on the sofa while eating a pudding. Coincidentally, she received a message on her phone.
