Chapter 1011

Grace didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she watched Ernest escape from the guest room.

Looking at him from behind, she sighed and thought to herself, "Maria is really on a whole new level. She even made my sonescape before he could greet me."

Maria was a little dumbfounded as well as she stared at how Little Gary and Ernest left. She turned to Grace and frowned. "AuntGrace, am | really such an unlikeable child?"

Grace looked at this little girl who looked so alike to Zachary. It softened her heart, thus making her shake her head, "No, youlook so cute."

“Aunt Grace, are you trying to say that | look cute, but my behavior isn't cute?" Maria caught her hidden meaning almostinstantly.

Grace felt a little embarrassed by her question in return. She didn't want to hurt her, but she didn't want to lie either, so shemerely smiled as a response.

“Aunt, you're smiling without saying anything. Is it because you're feeling embarrassed?" Maria looked at her without anytiredness, although she slept late and just woke up.

She was impressed at how energetic Maria was.

Indeed, she felt embarrassed, hence she smiled and answered, "Maria, you look very cute, and | would like to believe that youare behaving in a very cute manner as well. If you're really lonely, we would understand why.”

“Aunt Grace, what else do you want to say?" Maria instantly guessed that she wasn't done with her sentence yet.

Grace was truly amazed at the intelligence of this child. She spoke, "However, | don't want you to stay up so late every night. Ifyou keep staying up past ten o'clock at night, your growth will be affected, and you'll end up as a short child."

"| doubt that matters since it's mostly dependent on my genetics, isn't it?" Maria blinked at her, "If my parents are very short, |would never be able to grow taller no matter how early | sleep."

“How would that not matter?" Grace smiled, "These are scientifically proven facts, so we should respect science since it formsthe foundation of our lives, shouldn't we?"

"If you were to put it that way, perhaps talking too much is also a disease." Maria thought carefully and said, "Should | ask mymommy to bring me to a doctor?"

Grace was shocked by her question.

This child really didn't have a filter in her brain.

"Aunt Grace, I'm sick," Maria reiterated.

Grace broke into laughter. "No, you're totally fine and healthy."

“No, I'm sick. | need to be treated." Maria was serious about it. "I'll go and wash up now. After that, | can go find my mommy toask her and bring me to a doctor.”

Grace wasn't sure of how to comfort her. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's really fine. It isn't really wrong for you to talk somuch. Why don't you turn it into a skill instead? Who knows if you could end up becoming a hostess in the future? That wouldmatch your talent then."

"No, | don't want to become a hostess," Maria shook her head very seriously, "I'm not suitable to become a public face."

"Why?" Grace was slightly surprised. "What a way to say that. Nowadays, men and women are equal in society. Wouldn't it begreat for you to gain your achievements that way?"

"No, my ambitions aren't that grand." Maria shook her head. "That's not my biggest ambition in life."

"Then what is it?" Grace was shocked by her answer.

“Aunt, my biggest ambition is to find my daddy, and talk to him all night long without stopping," Maria responded seriously.Grace's heart nearly skipped a beat.novelbin

If Maria really turned out to be her cousin's daughter, he was going to suffer so much. How could he handle talking all night longwithout stopping?

"Mmm." After thinking for a while, Grace answered, "Maria, why don't you go and find a cure for your so-called disease later withyour mom?"

Maria was startled for a bit, and pursed her lips. "Aunt Grace, you think I'm sick as well, don't you?"

"No." She felt very guilty.

Maria stopped putting Grace on the spot. She went to wash up, had her breakfast, then headed to the kindergarten.At the entrance of the kindergarten, Grace finally met Maria's mother, Yvonne.

As soon as they met, Yvonne immediately stepped forward and smiled apologetically. "Mrs. Smith, I'm so sorry for all the troublewe've caused you all.”

Grace shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Maria is very cute." "Really? Thank you." Yvonne naturally didn't believe it,and instead thought that Grace was simply being polite.

She realized Yvonne was such a great beauty; her attractive face had a blend of elegance and resilience. She had a reallyslender figure as well.

“Mommy, since Aunt Grace thinks that I'm cute, is it okay for me to stay at her house for a week?" Maria asked for Yvonne's.permission.

Yvonne was startled.

Grace was also taken aback as she didn't expect this child to be serious about it.

Little Gary and Ernest exchanged gazes and almost shouted at the same time, "No!"

"Nope, you can't." Yvonne immediately understood that they didn't like her due to the troubles she caused them.

Maria instantly turned to Little Gary and Ernest, "I'm sick. I'll get treated first before heading over to your house. Aunt Graceagreed that | could visit again after I'm cured."

As soon as Maria said that, she stared at Grace.

Hence, she had to nod, "Yeah, | promised Maria."

"Mommy, we'll go to class first." Little Gary walked in first after he turned to Yvonne and said, "Bye, Aunt Yvonne." "Goodbye,Mommy. Goodbye, Aunt Yvonne."

Ernest said his goodbyes and quickly entered the class.

The two of them clearly did not want to talk to Maria any longer due to how tiring it could get.

Yvonne twitched her lips and smiled in embarrassment as she said to Maria, "You should head to class now as well.”“Mommy, do you know that I'm sick?"

"What disease do you have?" Yvonne asked.

"The chatterbox disease," Maria answered. "That's considered a disease, right?"

"Yeah, okay. After you're done with class today, I'll bring you to the hospital for an injection." Yvonne didn't sound worried at all.As soon as Maria heard the term "injection", she immediately got scared. "I'm going to class now. Bye, Mommy!"

She also left as if she was running away.

At the entrance, Grace and Yvonne faced each other.

Yvonne laughed in a helplessmanner, "I'm sorry, my child

“Madam Attwood, if you don't mind me, may | ask about Maria's dad?" Grace could not resist and asked.

Yvonne started looking a little nervous.
