Chapter 707
Melody's smile changed.
Her smile became less noble and unreachable.
Her eyes drifted away and her gaze shifted from the reporter to the camera.
"Family is more important than everything. I didn't understand before, but now I do."
Everett looked into those eyes. He saw she had put down her pride and softened her sharp eyesight.
The person who used to take the top spot everywhere and wanted the best in everything, had changed.
A week later.
Rachel took Coco to the mall with Everett.
This is a new city. The little girl has never been here before. This time, Everett and Rachel took her out on purpose.
Of course, the most important thing was neither of them had brought the little girl out this week.
Rachel also did not come out.
It wasn't that she didn't want to come out, but that Everett wouldn't let her out.
He said that she might not be in good health and that she needed to be examined and observed.
Rachel listened to him, and she felt that she should check it out.
The girl knew that she might not be in good health and did not cry for going out.
She behaved very well.
Until last night did Everett say that he took Coco out to shop with Rachel.
They just left the house today.
Of course, he told her that she was fine. After observing her for a week, she was fine.
It was just that he didn't tell her about the past, which always made her feel a little weird.
"Daddy, mommy, a lot of people!"
Coco held her daddy and mommy and looked around with big eyes. Her eyes were full of excitement.
Children always liked the lively, especially crowded places.
It happened to be the weekend and that there were a lot of people in the mall.
Rachel held the little girl's hand and looked around at the crowd with a smile on her face.
"Yes, a lot of people."
This time, she was also very happy at this outing.
However, although she didn't come out this week, she studied every day as before.
And she wanted to finish the course early. So she asked Everett to arrange more teachers for her and keep her schedule tight. This week, she felt like she had learned a lot.
At this rate, she could finish the course she wanted in three months at most.
That was what her teacher said.
The teacher said she was very smart.
But she felt that effort was more important than intelligence.
"Mommy, Furry had eaten all dried fish. We'll buy more dried fish for Furry later, okay?"
The little girl looked up at her with anticipation in her eyes.
Rachel smiled. "Okay."
The little girl immediately laughed happily.
All the things in the house were delivered by someone. Rachel didn't have to worry about them at all.
But sometimes, shopping personally, especially together with family members, was different from receiving goods from someone.
Rachel bought a lot of daily necessities, which were usually used at home.
Everett didn't care about what she bought. She bought whatever she wanted.
She and the girl chatted all the way. The little girl did the most talking.
Everett pushed the cart and looked at the two of them, his eyes never leaving them.
The three of them wandered around for two hours, bought several bags of stuff and put them in the trunk.
Coco hugged Rachel's leg and lay on it. "Mommy, Coco can't walk anymore."
They hadn't had a good rest but kept walking.
Rachel knew that the little girl was tired and said, "We'll be home soon. We'll be fine."
Coco immediately said, "Mommy, I don't want to go home yet."
Rachel was surprised. "You don't want to go home?"
"Aren't you tired?"
Rachel squatted down and looked at the little girl.
The little girl's forehead was covered in sweat. Rachel took a tissue and wiped it for her.
Coco stood up and let Rachel wipe her sweat, then said, "I still want to play."
Everett closed the trunk and looked at Coco. "We are not going home now."
Coco turned her head and looked at Everett, her eyes wide open. "Really? Dad!"
Rachel also looked at Everett.
What were they doing if they didn't go home?
Were they really going to play?
Everett met Rachel's gaze and opened his lips, "Let's go eat."
Coco's eyes lit up. "Yeah!"
"After dinner, I will have the strength to play again!"
"Oh yeah!"
Rachel saw that the little girl was so happy. She then looked at helpless Everett.
Everett said that because he wanted the little girl happy.
He doted on Coco.
"Get in the car."
Everett opened the door.
The little girl immediately sat down happily, and so did Rachel.
Just as Rachel was about to sit in, a voice fell into her ear.
