Sabrina got out of the car and went to pick up Aino from the kindergarten by herself. At that moment, Aino waved goodbye to a girl around the same height a s her and said, "Bye, Susan."
The girl, Susan, was leaving the kindergarten with her mum.
When Aino noticed that Sabrina was there as well, she quickly ran into her embrace, shouting, "See, Susan, m y mum is here to pick me up too."
With just a few steps, she reached Sabrina who was coincidentally standing right beside Susan and Susan’s mother.
Sabrina greeted them politely. "Nice to meet you."
Susan raised her head and greeted her back with a soft voice. "Hi auntie, Aino and I are good friends."
However, just as she finished speaking, her mother dragged her away forcefully. She scolded, "Don't be friends with someone like her. Her mum dresses like a country bumpkin, she looks so ugly!"
Her comments left both Sabrina and Aino at a loss for words.
After a while, Sabrina held Aino's hand and said to her gently, changing the subject, "Let's go home, Aino."
However, Aino didn't let it go and even sounded
grumpy. "Mum, you are a very beautiful woman actually. In fact, you are even prettier than all of my classmates' mums. Is it just because you can’t afford pretty clothes?”
Sabrina didn't know how to respond.
What should she tell her daughter?
However, Aino, understanding that it was a sensitive subject for her mother, started to smile sweetly and said, "Mum, I know how to make you look even prettier than Susan's mum."
Sabrina was curious. "Can you tell me more about your idea?"
"It's a secret!" The girl giggled, not telling her more.
Sabrina gave up and laughed along with her.
Aino continued, "When will you buy nice clothes for m y mum?"
Upon hearing this, Sebastian laughed and replied," Let’s see whether you can finish your food today. I will buy them for her if you behave well."
"Sure, it’s a promise then!" It seems that the girl treated his words seriously and even wanted to make a pinky promise with Sebastian.
Sabrina was truly shocked and didn’t know how to react.
Throughout the whole journey home, the fatherdaughter duo got along happily while she couldn’t even get a word in on the side.
After half an hour, the car finally reached a small apartment. Two uniformed ladies approached the car as they were getting out.
The two ladies said respectfully, "Mr. Ford, the clothes that you ordered for Madam have arrived.”
When she saw this, Sabrina's jaw widened. "What...did you say?"
