The little child looked to be about three or four years old, dressed in trendy clothes, and had an exquisitely carved face. He looked up at me, cuteness radiating from him.

But he called me “Aunt“…

I couldn’t just accept that.

I was a bit confused and patted his small head. “Aunt?”

“Yes! Aunt, my name is Daniel Jackson. You can call me Danny!”

The little one was incredibly adorable, introducing himself with a soft, innocent voice and an endearing demeanor.

I couldn’t help but chuckle and crouch down to speak gently, “Alright, Danny, but…”

I paused slightly and looked at Frank. “Danny is your nephew?”

“Alana’s son.”

Frank lazily lifted his eyes and said nonchalantly, “She’s on a flight to Europe tonight. Danny has school, so I’m taking care of him for a while.”

“Huh?” I glanced at his legs and couldn’t help but question, “Are you sure. …you can handle a child?”

Danny hugged my neck and gave my face several slobbery kisses, saying sweetly, “Aunt, Aunt, you can take care of me!”

I admitted that I was completely beaten by his cuteness.

I looks at Frank and asked, “Aunt?”

Frank didn’t seem to care. “You know how children are.”

I grabbed Danny’s shoulders and said, “Danny, can you just call me

Chapter

Charlotte? Aunt is not something you can address me by ”

Danny tilted his head feeling puzzled “Why?”

“Well…” I thought about it and tried to explain things. “Aunt means the wife of your uncle. As for your uncle and I are just…”

“Oh, I know!”

I was just thinking of what to say when Danny jumped up in joy and clapped his hands. “Then you are my aunt. My mom said that if two people like each other a lot, they can get married. And my uncle really likes you…”

Halfway through his sentence, Frank covered his mouth with his hands.

“You’re just a child, what do you know about liking someone?”

Danny glared at him. “I do, Uncle!”

Frank chuckled. “Tell me what you know then.”

“For example, I don’t like you at all!”

With that said, Danny hugged my leg like a koala again. “I like you, Aunt. Can I go home with you?”

My heart softened, but it still seemed inappropriate for an outsider to take care of someone else’s child.

I thought for a moment and declined, “Sweetie, I’m staying at a hotel, so it’s not as convenient as at home.”

Frank frowned. “Why aren’t you staying at the hous e in Region Gardens?

I made up an excuse. “I forgot the password.”

The house in Region Gardens was the one he gave me two years ago..

The events from two years ago had led to lingering estrangement

between us, and I felt unworthy of it. Therefore, I never considered staying there when I came to Jeswood.

Frank scoffed, “You can even forget your own birthday?”

I cleared my throat and answered truthfully, “It mainly feels inappropriate for me to stay there.”

Frank pouted his lips. “Inappropriate? The things you’ve been given by me are worth more than that house.”

I did have some memory of that. When I was younger, I would always share the best things I found with him first.

Not to mention, on birthdays and New Year’s, I would clean out my little savings and even ask Grandma to supplement them.

Thinking about this, I felt justified. He was probably returning the favor.

Before I could say anything, he began to mock me lightly. “Or maybe you just have too much money and don’t know what to do with it, so you decided to stay at a hotel? You can give me the extra money and I’ll spend it for you.”

“Dream on.”

I shot him a glare and pinched the little one’s cheek. “You can come to my place. It’s just downstairs from your uncle’s house. I’ll move there in the afternoon, and you’re welcome to come and play anytime!”

Kiss!

Danny leaned in and kissed my face, responding cheerfully, “Okay, gorgeous!”

Frank’s face darkened as he gritted his teeth and called out sharply,” Daniel!”

Danny looked puzzled, “What’s wrong, Uncle?”

Frank frowned and admonished, “Who taught you to keep kissing girls? No more kisses!”

“Uncle, haven’t you kissed her before?”

Both Frank and I found the situation a bit awkward.

Fortunately, Grandma chose that moment to get up. Despite her confusion, her innate elegance shone through.

She had neatly pinned her hair up and was wearing a meticulously tailored dress, as always.

It seemed Grandma could recognize both Frank and me accurately at any time. She greeted us warmly, “Lily, you’re here. Frank, why are you here so early?”

“Just came to see you,” Frank said as he patted the little one’s head.” This is your great–grandmother.”

“Great–grandmother!” Danny was not shy at all and immediately called out loudly. He introduced himself with enthusiasm, and was quite endearing.

Grandma responded kindly, “Oh, good boy!”

Frank smiled and said to Grandma, “This is Alana’s child.”

“Alana?”

Grandma seemed to have forgotten.

However, Frank didn’t want to burden Grandma with remembering this. He shifted the focus back to her health. “How have you been these days?”

“All good, all good.” Seeing us both there, Grandma was very pleased. ” Lily even arranged for a doctor to come and treat me.”

Frank asked a few more questions, and then Grandma suddenly changed the topic. “Frank, when are you going to marry Lily?”
