Chapitre 673: Pondering

The more Shu Pan thought about it, the more her head hurt. She sat up from the sofa, looked out the window and saw that it was already dark out. Auntie Li and Joy should be home soon.

Just as the thought occurred to her, the main door to the house opened. Shu Pan looked towards the foyer and saw Auntie Li leading Joy by the hand.

"What took you so long today?" Shu Pan asked doubtfully. It usually took them a shorter time to get home.

"Oh, Joy wanted to eat meatballs, so we took a detour to the market." Auntie Li explained with a smile.

"Thanks so much, Auntie Li." Shu Pan then looked at Joy. "You greedy little munchkin."

"Mommy, why didn't you pick me up if you're at home?" Joy pouted and looked unhappy when she saw Shu Pan.

"I'm sorry sweetie. Mommy had to deal with something today. I'll pick you up from school tomorrow, okay?" Shu Pan said gently as she leveled eyes with Joy and patted her head.
