Grace took Austin to lunch and then to the mall.
The mother and daughter were separated for five years before they finally reunited. Grace wished she could give Austin all the best things in the world.
She bought a lot of clothes for Austin and took her to the toy shop upstairs.
"Austin, what toys do you like? Do you like Barbie dolls?" asked Grace.
Austin stopped at the entrance of the toy shop. She pursed her lips and said, "Mommy, I've grown up. These childish toys are for kids to play with."
Grace looked at her in surprise. Austin's expression and personality were the same as Brian's. She was so mature at such a young age.
"Okay, then what do you like? Mommy will buy it for you."
Austin retracted her gaze from the toy shop and looked up at Grace. "Mommy, I don't like toys."
Grace nodded. "Alright, Mommy will take you to the movies."
She held Austin's hand and walked forward. From the corner of her eye, she saw Austin's gaze that refused to move away when she passed by the toy shop.
Grace stopped and squatted down to hug her. "Baby, you like toys. Why did you tell Mommy that you don't like them?"
Austin bit her lip and lowered her head.
After a while, she said, "I think it's a waste of money to buy these."
Grace's heart ached, and she hugged Austin tightly.
The financial situation of Vivian's parents was not good. They were just ordinary people. Austin was sensible and did not want to burden them financially.
"Austin, you've come back to Mommy now. I can get you whatever you want or like. You'll always be my little princess.'
Tears welled in Austin's eyes. She smiled and wrapped her arms around Grace's neck. "Thank you, Mommy."
Every child loved snacks and toys. Austin was just an ordinary child, and she was no exception.
However, she was too sensible and thoughtful. She pretended to be an adult and lied to herself and the people around her that she did not like toys or snacks.
Her thoughtfulness stung Grace's heart.
Grace bought Joy two sets of toys and a princess bed and renovated a room for her.
After that, she took Austin back to Seefer City. The mother and daughter went to Vivian's parents' house. Grace bought a lot of gifts that filled the trunk.
Austin was happy to see Shawn and Jaclyn. She skillfully went into the house to serve coffee for her mother.
Jaclyn said, "Blood relations are magical. Joy didn't talk much before and seldom smiled. Now that she's back to her parents, she smiles more and more often."
Grace said to them gratefully, "Thank you for saving my daughter. You are also Joy's family. Joy will always be your little girl."
Shawn and Jaclyn were glad. "We're happy that doy found her biological parents. We all believe Joy will have good fortune after surviving a
.n
calamity. Seeing you and her father
are so capable, we're relieved."noveldrama
"Thank you. You treat Joy like your own child, and I won't mistreat Vivian. It train her as one of my own. When Vivian gets married, I'll give her 50% of the company's shares as her dowry."
Shawn and Jaclyn looked at each other in shock.
"Miss Sherman, you don't have to do that. We saved Joy but don't have much money to afford Joy a
happy childhood..."
Grace interrupted them with a smile. "Vivian might be my sister-in-law in the future!"
