Chapter 40: Sudden Conflict

While the middle-aged man had his thoughts, Marius and his family moved towards the counter. Upon noticing the silence, he didn't even pay it any mind as he brought Ria and Grevlin towards Liola.

"Mama, why are they stwaring at us?" Little Rose asked as her large and cute eyes saw the strangers looking at them.

Ria poked her cheek and replied, "Because they think my little Rose is pretty."

Little Rose's face turned red as she heard those words; she looked at her mother and asked, "Really?"

Ria kissed her forehead and answered with a loving look, "That's right; my adorable daughter is the prettiest."

Little Rose felt happy hearing her mother's words; she hugged her tightly while staring at the strangers with an excited and innocent look. A few onlookers couldn't help but feel sweet on the inside as some of them spoke to each other.

"How cute? Such an adorable child, she's so pretty when young, can you imagine what she'll grow like in the future?"
