Chapter 194: 0194 How could there be such parents_1

Everyone else looked at the scene with a bit of amusement.

Lucy Wood watched carefully.

Chubby Jones was still cute-looking; although his face was now round, one could tell that he had good features, and would certainly be a handsome boy once he slimmed down.

It’s just that he ate well now.

He first stared at Ellen Young, then slowly turned his gaze to Lucy Wood, "Who is this?"

His voice was still quite babyish, but by his age, he must have been seven or eight years old.

Ellen spoke up, "This is my sister, Lucy Wood."

Lucy Wood straightened up and looked at Chubby Jones with a gentle smile, saying softly, "Hello, little friend, my name is Lucy Wood."

Chubby Jones’s eyes widened, "You are her sister, so aren’t you even smarter than her?"

Lucy Wood: "..."

She suddenly felt as if she had received a critical hit of 120,000 points.

This made her wonder how to answer such an embarrassing question.

Sidney Addison burst into hearty laughter, "Chubby, come out, your teacher, Ellen, has taken the trouble to come and celebrate grandma’s birthday; you can’t be naughty. Come out and formally say hello to teacher Ellen and Lucy, otherwise, I will have your grandpa come and spank you when he gets back."

Lucy Wood: "..."

Only then did Chubby Jones reluctantly step out with his hands behind his back, pouting, and muttered, "Hello, Ellen, hello, Lucy."

Lucy Wood was charmed by his cuteness and felt incredibly soft-hearted, "Hello, Hayden."

She had come with Ellen, and wasn’t familiar with the Jones family; it wouldn’t be right to casually use his nickname, as it seemed too informal.

Hayden Jones had greeted someone, but still looked at her skeptically.

He had never seen Lucy Wood before and, having just met her for the first time, was naturally curious.

Sidney Addison commented, "She said hello to you, why don’t you reply?"

It wasn’t a reprimand, rather just a gentle query.

Only then did Hayden Jones slowly mutter a response, "Hello."

Of course, Lucy Wood didn’t mind this small matter and waved her hand with a smile, "Hayden doesn’t know me, it’s natural he’s curious."

Ellen quietly listened to their conversation; usually, she didn’t talk much.

Sidney Addison made small talk with Lucy Wood, mentioning various things, but it seemed she knew something; she didn’t bring up anything about the Wood family during the conversation.

It was as if she only acknowledged that Ellen had a sister.

Chubby Jones was playing with toys nearby, and Lucy Wood saw that his toys were those digital grids, the kind that required logic and IQ to play with; she thought that smart kids really were different, even the toys they played with were beyond her comprehension...

When it was noon, the nanny in the house had prepared the meal, and just the few of them had lunch together.

Since Sidney Addison’s family worked at institutions and were usually busy, they rarely came home.

Lucy Wood behaved impeccably, answering whatever Sidney asked without seeming too constrained, nor too overfamiliar.

Mainly because Sidney’s benign temperament made it easy for people to let their guard down around her.

After lunch, the two were about to leave, and Sidney whispered something to Ellen.

With Lucy present, there were some things she couldn’t say outright, but upon seeing Ellen, she quietly asked, "Have your parents come looking for you at home?"

Ellen cast her eyes down and smiled faintly, "You don’t need to worry about these things."

Upon hearing this, Sidney sighed, "Your sister seems so honest, how could she have such parents?"

Sidney was somewhat aware of the Wood Family’s issues.

But even when she actually knew, it was still somewhat inconceivable.
