"I missed you too."
Coralie turned around and hugged Skylar's neck. She noticed that his handsome face had become slimmer and she felt distressed for him.
She took the initiative to kiss him. This time, she was the one who initiated it, so Skylar would naturally not let her go...
They continued to kiss passionately and just as Skylar's hand was about to take a step forward...
"Mom and Dad, are you both getting me a little sister?"
A tender voice spoke up.
Coralie was so shocked that she pushed Skylar away, only to see that Hendric was already standing next to them and he was watching them kiss.
Coralie wouldn't deny being intimate with Skylar, and she even longed for it.
However, in front of their child, she still couldn't explain to him about what they were doing just now.
Coralie stood up with her face flushed and she didn't know what to say so she just went to sort out the vegetables in the refrigerator.
Hendric didn't understand it so he repeated again, "The older sister in our neighborhood told me that you'll get pregnant if you kiss. Mom and Dad, were you both getting me a little sister?"
"Which older sister told you this?"
Compared to Coralie, Skylar acted calmer. He caressed Hendric's little head and removed a leaf from his hair.
"She's a girl named Aubree. She's very cute. Aubree is the loveliest girl in our neighborhood."
When Hendric talked about Aubree, his petite little face turned a little red, and his eyes were shining like stars.
Coralie, who was standing aside, looked at Hendric and thought for a moment. "You mean that Aubree who is plump?"
There was only one little girl named Aubree in the neighborhood, but she was very fat. She didn't know whether Aubree was the loveliest girl in the neighborhood, but she knew that Aubree was definitely the plumpest girl of them all.
"That's not considered plump, that's cute. Look at the fat cat in Grandma's place, she's cute as well."
Hendric was arguing with Coralie about it.
"Yes, she is cute."
Coralie thought that Hendric considered plump as being cute so she didn't take it to heart.
However, Skylar could read his son's thoughts and he asked, "Do you like Aubree?"
"Yes, I like her."
Hendric nodded.
"Why do you like her?"
"Because she's so cute. Her smile is so cute and she's so much more beautiful than those skinny girls."
Whenever Hendric talked about Aubree, his smile was as alluring as the blooming flowers.
"Oh..."
"Dad, I want to marry Aubree in the future!"
Poof!
Coralie thought that the topic had ended, but she did not expect Hendric to say this!
This almost made her laugh out loud.
"You have to wait until you grow up first then."
Skylar smiled and patted his son's head. There was a gentle smile in his eyes.
"Yes, I'll grow up quickly!" Hendric thought Skylar had already agreed to it, so he asked again. "Daddy, can I marry Aubree when I grow up?"
"It depends on whether Aubree is willing to marry you."
Coralie finally realized that Skylar was being unrealistic so she tried to remind Hendric.
"Oh right!"
Unexpectedly, after listening to Coralie's words, Hendric nodded very seriously. He then rested his hand on his chin and thought for a long time before saying, "Then I'll ask her if she is willing to be together with me."
"Spring onions, ginger, garlic? What's that?"
Skylar was quite confused.
Skylar appointed someone to run the errand and got all the items in the fridge. He thought he was familiar with the common vegetables used in their dishes, but he didn't expect that he would miss out on the basic ones, which were spring onions, ginger, and garlic.
Watching the look on his face, Coralie said, "It seems like we have to go out to buy some vegetables first."
She pushed Skylar out and asked Hendric to follow them along to buy some vegetables.
They decided to go to the market. There were many stalls in the market where the merchants would tie up a bundle of vegetables and mark their prices there. Customers could choose any bundles they wanted and just put it in the bag, then they could just place the money into the basket and leave.
However, most of the vegetables there were the ones they already had at home.
Coralie walked around and finally saw a woman who looked like she was from Country A. In her stall, she was selling some spring onions, ginger and garlic, and some other vegetables.
When she picked up the vegetables and wanted to ask for the price, she noticed that the aunt was gesturing with her hands and she had not uttered a word.
"I think she is deaf."
Skylar said from the side.
"Are you all from Country A?"
After Skylar said that, the lady suddenly opened her mouth to speak.
"You can speak?"
Coralie was also stunned. When they came over, the lady was pointing at her own mouth and waving her hand; it seemed that she was trying to tell that she couldn't speak.
"I do. I just don't speak their language here." Listening to the familiar language, the lady smiled happily. "I used to talk back then, but every time I spoke I would just confuse everyone and myself as well. In the end, I'd rather not speak to make things easier."
"Then why do you sell vegetables here?"
Coralie squatted down to ask the lady.
"My son stayed here after graduating from college, so I came here with him. But I was getting bored staying at home all day, so I planted some vegetables and sell them myself. I do not want anything else. I just wanted to have something to do." The lady said as she grabbed a stalk of coriander from her stall and handed it to Coralie, "I'll give you this. You can boil some good soup with it."
