Aiden Grant noticed that the lady he was holding had her mind drifting far away, likely thinking about the past. He gently said, "Honey, I'll treat Riley Thompson like Connor."
"Hmm? All right." Lily Shaw gave a faint smile. For Aiden Grant's sake, she decided to treat Connor Grant like a little brother.
When Aiden said that, she didn't think it was anything special.
She was nice to Connor, and Aiden was nice to her family, Riley Thompson. It was normal.
You're good to me, I'm good to you. Isn't that what human interactions are all about?
The two exchanged smiles and drove to Silvercrest's largest commercial center.
Before getting out of the car, Aiden pretended to be surprised and said, "Honey, you actually came here!"
"What?" What was wrong with her coming to this commercial center?
"I thought you'd take me to some supermarket counter..."
Lily Shaw playfully waved her small pink fist, pretending to threaten, "Are you asking for a beating? Do you want to taste my fist?"
