"That explains it." It dawned on Ada. No wonder this little girl was agile. Aoba didn't even tell her about this. Suddenly, an idea came up to her. She said with a smile, "Have you heard the story of Prince Frog?"
Annie said, "Yes, mommy told me that if someone kisses the frog's little mouth, the frog will become a beautiful little prince."
"Then don't you want to do that?" Ada tempted her to kiss the frog.
Annie curled her lips in disdain, "That's a trick for a three-year-old kid. I'm five years old. Aunt, I won't be fooled by you."
"..." Fine, Ada admitted that She was defeated by this little brat, but she was more and more interested in this kid.
"Annie, let the frog go and wash your hands quickly." At any rate, it was a life. Olive was worried that she would kill it accidentally, so there was a slight sense of sternness in her voice.
"Mommy, can I keep it in grandpa's fish tank?" So she could observe it every day and see if it would give birth to tadpoles.
"No."
"Why?"
Ada felt that if she was asked to answer this question, she would probably say that the frog would eat the fish in the grandpa's tank or the fish would eat the frog.
But Olive didn’t answer like that. She said, “This frog lives in nature, and its home is in the lake of this community. If you keep it in grandpa's fish tank, it will lose contact with its parents and siblings. If you were it, and one day you were abducted by bad people and taken away from your mom and dad and grandparents, and you could never see them again, wouldn't you be sad?"
The little girl nodded vigorously, "Yes."
"Should we release the frog then?"
"Okay!" Although she was a little reluctant, she ran out very obediently and put the frog in the grass near the lake. She watched it jump away before running back and washing her hands.
At this moment, the doorbell rang. Kent and his little girlfriend came to eat with them on time.
Kent’s little girlfriend was called Janetta Wen, who was shy and polite. She gave Olive a bouquet of white flowers as soon as she walked in. She was a little embarrassed and said, “I don’t know what you like. I saw someone selling gardenias on the way. They were very fragrant, so I bought a bunch. I hope you like them."
Olive put the tip of her nose close to the flowers and sniffed them. She said with a smile, "Yes, they are so fragrant. I usually stop and buy a bunch of these flowers when I run into one that sells them. Thanks, I like them very much."
The girl probably bought the flowers at her own expense. With Kent's personality, he wouldn't be so stingy in giving gifts.
Of course, she didn't look down on this girl. It was not the gift that counted but the thought behind it. Moreover, she really liked gardenias. However, the relationship between these two people was still very delicate. Maybe a meteor shower was not enough for Kent to move this girl.
She was really a stubborn and strong-minded girl. If Kent got her too easily, he probably wouldn't cherish her. Having a hard time pursuing her might be good for him.
"I'm going to find a vase. Please sit for a while. The dinner will be ready in ten minutes."
Kent said, "Take your time. Although we are freeloaders, we are willing to help."
He put a hand on Janetta's shoulder. Janetta didn't seem to be used to this kind of intimate action. Her face turned red, and she turned to one side slightly to shake off his hand.
Kent's face paled a little but quickly returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
Olive sighed secretly. He was cheeky enough.
She found a vase, filled it with some water, and put the flowers in it. This kind of large-leaved gardenia was fragrant and elegant. Although not many people liked it, it was her favorite.
Janetta was not very talkative in front of strangers, but as Olive expected, she liked children. Moreover, Annie had already been instructed by her to interact more with Janetta.
Although Kent knew that Alan had a sister, this was the first time they met. Both of them were outgoing and talkative, and they got acquainted soon.
Janetta glanced at them from time to time. The woman in front of her was beautiful. But her beauty was different from Olive's gentleness. It was bewitching but not frivolous. Few men would reject such a woman. That was why they were chatting happily.
Unconsciously, her eyes dimmed a little, and a sense of discomfort welled up in her heart. This man talked sweet words in her ear last night, but he pleased other women in the blink of an eye. Maybe it was easy to change rivers and mountains but hard to change a person's nature.
This slight change in her expression was caught by Olive, who came out of the kitchen. Maybe, this girl didn't even know she had fallen in love with Kent.
Some women were slow by nature, while some women refused to be conquered by men by nature. Olive didn't know which one Janetta belonged to, but she found that these two people were becoming more and more interesting. She also saw Kent secretly glance at Janetta with a weird smile.
