Tina listened to Gloria. She began to walk steadily and stopped bouncing.
As soon as she got to the living room, she immediately let go of the maid's hand and ran towards Gloria.
Gloria squatted down, caught the flying meatball, and kissed her on the cheek.
Tina was thinking about the apples drawn by herself, so she was not in the mood to return Gloria a kiss.
She took out her drawing book like a treasure and flipped it to the page of apples she drew, showing them to Gloria, "Mom, look at the apples I drew."
The colorful lines covered the whole drawing paper very casually. She couldn't see the shape of an apple at all.
But Tina was obviously very happy.
While flipping through the drawing book, she said to herself, "I will draw three more apples and meatballs..."
Gloria found that Tina seemed to like drawing very much.
Only that she was still too young to draw anything at all, and only knew how to pick her favorite colors to paint into her painting book.
Since Tina liked it, Gloria wouldn't discourage her.
Gloria carried her to the sofa and sat down, then took over the drawing book and looked at it very carefully for a while. She smiled and said to Tina, "Awesome drawing, but I'm sure you'll be able to draw even better in the future!"
Hearing this, Tina happily covered her mouth and smiled, as if she was very shy.
Gloria reached out and poked her forehead, "Are you shy?"
"Hehe..." Tina grabbed Gloria's hand and laughed brilliant.
At this time, Kenny came in from outside.
Kids would love to get approval and praise from people close to them, and Tina was no exception.
When she saw Kenny, she took the drawing book and ran towards him.
Gloria knew that Kenny was in a bad mood right now, so she stood up with some worry and called, "Tina!"
But Tina didn't hear her. She ran to Kenny, holding up her drawing book, "Dad, dad, look the apples I drew, two big apples..."
Kenny already frowned. After seeing the "apples" in Tina's painting book, he frowned deeper.
Gloria secretly exclaimed no. Then she said, "Kenny!"
She was worried that he would say something disappointing.
He didn't seem to be as nice or patient with Tina recently. She was really worried that the next moment he would say something unpleasant like, "What the hell is that drawing of?".
Kenny lifted his eyelids, took a look at her, then looked away and rested his eyes on Tina's drawing.
After two seconds, he said a word, "Uh."
Not getting any compliments from Kenny, Tina was a little disappointed, curled her lip and said, "Okay."
She took back her drawing book, looked up at Kenny, pressed her lips and walked back to Gloria.
As soon as she walked away, Kenny went upstairs without looking back.
After Tina approached, Gloria reached out and rubbed her head, and said, "Daddy also thinks your drawing is good."
Tina heard this, and raised her fleshy face, looking up at her dumbfoundedly.
Did dad praise her just now?
"Dad really thinks your drawing is good. You have to keep up! Come on!" Gloria made a cheering gesture at her.
Tina also followed suit and made a cheering gesture, then giggled.
It was great to be a child who was ignorant. Just a few words could make her happy for a long time.
Gloria raised her head and looked upstairs, thinking what Kenny just said, and frowned.
It was much harder to coax men than children.
But this time, she really didn't want to coax him.
Gloria looked away and took Tina to the kitchen, "All right, let's make meatballs!"
"Great! Make meatballs!" Tina was jumping with joy.
After staying out for the day, it was nice to come back in the evening to accompany the child.
Gloria was planning to make a few meatballs of each type of meat, mainly for Tina. She was still too young and couldn't eat much, so the meatballs would be ready soon.
She had already made meatballs, so she made the dinner by the way.
It may be a vengeance. The dishes Gloria made were very light, and there was no dish that suit Kenny's palate.
During the meal, Gloria paid special attention to Kenny's expression.
When he took the first bite, his eyebrows were knitted, then he raised his head and glanced at Gloria, as if he had found that these were Gloria's cooking.
Gloria tilted her head slightly and gave him a provocative glance.
Kenny kept silent, lowered his head and ate silently.
Gloria snorted. She really thought Kenny wouldn't even eat the dishes she cooked.
However, instead of stopping eating, Kenny ate more than usual.
He went upstairs as soon as he finished eating. He even ate faster than Tina.
Tina saw Kenny go out, blinked with her big eyes and pointed at the view of his back. She said to Gloria, "Dad is gone!"
Gloria reached out to remove the rice grains from Tina's mouth, smiled and said, "He is full."
"I see." Tina looked down at the greens left in her bowl, turned her head and said to Gloria, "I'm full."
Gloria pointed to the greens in her bowl, "You will be full after you eat these greens."
Tina looked reluctant, "I'm full."
Gloria wiped the smile from her face, and her expression became a little serious, "Eat them."
"Okay..." Seeing that Gloria didn't smile, Tina had to compromise and eat the greens.
She finished eating the greens before Gloria let her go.
Gloria leaned back in the chair, remembered something, and took out her phone.
There were no unread WeChat messages, no SMS and missed calls.
James didn't call her.
if James knew that she had been to him, he would have contacted her.
Could it be that James didn't go back to the psychological clinic after she left?
Gloria thought that it was very possible.
She found James's number in the address book, hesitated for a moment, and called him.
The phone rang several times and no one answered it. Then it was automatically hung up.
Gloria called again. This time it rang twice and was hung up.
The phone rang twice and was hung up. Generally speaking, it was hung up manually.
James hang up on her?
What he was doing at this time?
Gloria called again. This time she failed to get through.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is off..."
Gloria was shocked. James was a cautious person. When she was living with him, she never saw his cell phone run out of power and turn off.
Did something happen to him?
