Katy said to Little Jia in a low tone, "Ruoxi is legally aunty's child. Daddy said that she was adopted."
Little Jia did not exactly understand what that was about. All she understood was that her aunty seemed to have taken an already grown child as her own. Her eyes flashed in surprise. She did not know that such a thing could actually happen.
The little girl thought of something else and her face brightened up. "Mommy said that Aunty Lihua and Uncle Henry are now married. Does that make us... cousins?"
Katy thought about it and was excited too. "Yes! Aunty Lihua is the aunt of us both. Not only are we good friends, we are now cousins too."
Lin Lihua glanced at them and smiled warmly. The kids were too cute.
