The sudden ringing of the doorbell immediately broke the quiet atmosphere in the living room.
As Flossie Wright finished setting up the dishes, she straightened up and was about to go open the door when she noticed that the little Hutchinson who had been playing with puzzles on the sofa immediately jumped to the ground.
"I’ll get the door."
The diligent little Hutchinson quickly put on his slippers, lifted his short legs and ran towards the entrance.
𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Flossie stopped her movements, leaning on the dining table and watched Little Hutchinson run off. She felt that the kid was unreasonably sensible. But after thinking about it, Flossie glanced at Glenn Hutchinson who was still cooking, then she also followed towards the door.
"Flynn, have you eaten yet?"
As she reached the entrance, she heard a gentle female voice. She hesitated a moment, then she lifted her eyes and looked over.
In her sight was a beautiful woman holding a thermal container, bending down and asking Little Hutchinson with a gentle and kind smile. She was radiating a maternal glow.
And, standing next to her was a little girl of about the same age as Little Hutchinson. Her timid eyes were flickering, her gaze searched until it found Flossie and she modestly paused there, but when her eyes shifted to Little Hutchinson, an adorable smile appeared on her face. It seemed as if she liked Little Hutchinson.
"Daddy’s cooking."
Little Hutchinson stood at the door, but he didn’t show any willingness to invite them in. He pursed his lips and looked at them warily.
Ever since his daddy came back, this lady would come over two or three times a day with her daughter. Even though he didn’t understand what she wanted, he could sense she had an ulterior motive and naturally became vigilant.
Also, his sister was at home too; he couldn’t let other ladies come into the house.
"Who are you?"
The woman was originally intending to talk to Little Hutchinson, but then she saw Flossie standing at the entrance. She frowned involuntarily, then quite surprisingly asked her question.
As far as she knew, Glenn Hutchinson didn’t have a partner. The only women who would come to his house were his sister and the cook for Little Hutchinson. So who was this suddenly appearing woman?
Flossie glanced lazily at the woman who clearly treated her as an enemy. Narrowing her eyes, she replied simply, "A guest."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Little Hutchinson tip-toed and earnestly added, "Daddy’s guest."
Upon hearing Little Hutchinson’s addition, the woman’s expression flashed with surprise. She took a few extra looks at Flossie, and then she brought her focus back to Little Hutchinson. She squatted down and gave Little Hutchinson a broad smile. The thermal container in her hand was offered to Little Hutchinson as she asked in a coaxing tone, "Flynn, could you do Auntie a favor?"
With a puzzled frown, Little Hutchinson instinctively turned to look at Flossie. It was obvious that he wanted to seek her opinion.
Lifting her eyelid just slightly, Flossie quickly gave Little Hutchinson a "go ahead" look with her eyes.
This matter had nothing to do with her. Even if the woman had come for Glenn Hutchinson and Little Hutchinson, she still didn’t need to interject. She just didn’t understand why Little Hutchinson was always clinging to her, looking to her for answers on absolutely everything. When his actions towards her were so blatant, she couldn’t pretend not to notice them and used symbolism to voice her opinion.
Unexpectedly, Little Hutchinson took her opinion as an order and resolved to follow it firmly.
"What favor?"
