Vivian was lost in thought when the three kids came downstairs.
The three kids saw Vivian and gathered around her, greeting her in unison, "Good afternoon, Ms. Vivian."
Vivian looked at the three kids surrounding her, smiled, and replied, "Lanie, Rainie, and Tommy, good afternoon."
She suddenly remembered something and picked up her backpack. She took out three neatly wrapped gifts from inside, handed them to the kids, and said, "This one is for Lanie, this one is for Rainie, and this one is for Tommy."
The three kids accepted the gifts and thanked her, “Thank you, Ms. Vivian.”
As Luca looked at the three happy kids, she shook her head helplessly. "You bought wine, and now you're giving gifts to the children. Vivian, if you keep spending like this, I won’t dare to invite you the next time there's something good to eat at home."
"Come on, I just find the kids too adorable. That's why I bought them books. They're just books, nothing too pricey," Vivian quickly explained.
These books were ones she saw while browsing the bookstore. She thought they were suitable for the kids, so she carefully wrapped them up. They looked quite exquisite.
"They're really not that expensive, Luca. Don't forget about me when there's something good to eat next time," added Vivian, clasping her hands together and giving Luca puppy eyes.
"Alright. I won't forget you when there's something good to eat," replied Luca helplessly, shaking her head.
Tommy kept staring at Vivian with his round eyes. Suddenly, he said, "Ms. Vivian, you're getting more and more beautiful."
"Yeah, Ms. Vivian is getting prettier!" Rainie chimed in.
"What?" Vivian could not help but touch her face and then look at Lanie.
Even if Tommy and Rainie might just be saying nice things to flatter her, Lanie would not do the same.
Even though Vivian had not spent much time with the kids, she knew that Lanie's temperament was most like Luke. He would not lie.
"Yes." Lanie nodded. He was not as talkative as his younger siblings, but he agreed with them.
"See, I told you that the kids won't lie. Look, they all think so," Luca said cheerfully, indicating that she did not lie.
"Oh, it's just like before, isn't it?" Vivian felt a little embarrassed. Being complimented by the adults and then the kids made her want to break out into a grin.
Rainie raised her hand and touched Vivian's face.
They were familiar with each other, which was why she made such a move. Feeling the touch on her fingertips, she said, "Your skin has improved a lot, Ms. Vivian. You really have become more beautiful!"
Vivian was delighted by her comments. She gave Rainie a hug and replied, "Rainie, you're beautiful too!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Vivian." Rainie gave her a sweet smile and accepted Vivian's praise.
Vivian was startled for a moment.
People in her country always graciously accepted compliments and praises from others, and then they would say thank you.
When did she start to doubt the sincerity of others' words when they praised her beauty?
Vivian felt like she was not even as mature as a child.
