Chapter 55: Some Hostility Towards Him
After applying the medicine, Daniel and Leo came downstairs with the gifts they had chosen for Grace. Each of them held a strangely shaped toy in their arms and approached the girl, saying, "We bought these with our own pocket money, and we're giving them to you."
The two toys were odd-looking, completely mismatched with Grace's appearance. But this was the first time she had received gifts from peers, and they were from the two friends she liked, so she accepted them without hesitation. Her face was full of joy as she hugged the two quirky dolls, exerting even more force than when she held the doll before.
After a while, Grace had enough hugging and set the dolls down. She wrote a big "THANK YOU" on the notebook and with a soft and adorable smile, she held it up for the two boys to see.
Daniel and Leo were also seeing Grace smile like this for the first time. Although they had previously rejected her because she was the child of daddy and another woman. But now seeing her smile so cutely, the two little ones felt as if their hearts had been struck. They glanced at each other, feeling a bit embarrassed as they scratched their heads.
This half-sibling from the same father but different mother was really cute! Maybe they shouldn't dislike her anymore...
On the side, Chloe watched the three little ones interact, feeling tender inside. She gently touched Grace's head and said to her two boys, "You guys play with Grace for a while. I will make a phone call to the research institute and let them know we'll be late today. Grace just had her hand treated, so be careful."
The two boys nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Chloe got up and went upstairs to make the phone call.
"Shall we play with LEGO?" the two little boys weren't sure what girls liked to play, so they could only invite Grace to play with them what they usually played with.
Grace's eyes sparkled brightly as she nodded without hesitation.
Today, she really had come to the right place. The pretty lady had personally applied medicine to her, and now the two friends had invited her to play together!
Because Daniel and Leo's intelligence far exceeded that of normal children, Chloe had bought them LEGO sets meant for adults to play with. They had already built half of it.
"If you don't know how, you can watch how we build first," Daniel said considerately.
Grace nodded, watching them build a few pieces seriously before sitting down to build her own.
Daniel and Leo paused their actions, ready to teach her at any moment. But they saw Grace actually assembling the pieces skillfully.
Before long, she even caught up to their speed and her accuracy was also very high.
The two little boys were somewhat dumbfounded. Mommy had bought this for them because they were highly intelligent, but Grace was unexpectedly so skilled too. Was it because they shared the same father?
While they were amazed, the doorbell of the villa rang.
The two little ones exchanged a glance, both simultaneously thinking of one person.
"I'll go answer the door, you stay and play with Grace," Daniel said, getting up and walking towards the door.
After opening the door, he saw the man who was nominally their father, standing tall in a restrained suit.
"Hello," Daniel greeted politely yet distantly.
Quintus thought it was Chloe who had opened the door, his expression indifferent. But upon seeing that it was a little kid who opened the door, his expression softened a bit. If he wasn't mistaken, this was Chloe's child.
"Grace is inside, you can come in," Daniel glanced at him before coolly turning back into the house. For some reason, he seemed to harbor some hostility towards him.
