Elizabeth tried to move her hand but didn’t break free, letting him hold it.

Alexander tilted his umbrella towards Elizabeth, not noticing the raindrops on his own shoulder.

The moment they stepped inside, the rain stopped.

Emily complained, “What kind of weather is this? Sun’s out and it’s raining.”

“It’s a sunshower,” Elizabeth explained. “When clouds with different charges collide under the influence of the solar wind, it can result in a sunshower.

There’s a good chance we’ll see a rainbow.”

Sure enough, a rainbow appeared in the sky.

Emily exclaimed in admiration, “Elizabeth, you know so much.”

Flattered by her friend’s praise, Elizabeth pursed her lips.

Alexander directed Emily, “Go get a change of clothes for the little girl.”

Rain had dampened Elizabeth’s hair, making her black strands cling to her cheeks. Her eyelashes drooped, making her look less aloof and more gentle, emphasizing her sparkling, beautiful eyes.

Swallowing, Alexander averted his gaze.

Emily, almost instinctively, darted toward her room to fetch the clothes.

Elizabeth suddenly asked him, “Is it good to be human?”

Alexander glanced at Elizabeth, “Why wouldn’t it be?”

“Human nature is so complex. It controls people, making them do things they don’t want to,” Elizabeth said, her brows knitted in concern.

Tilting his head, Alexander responded softly, “If you don’t let it control you, isn’t that the solution?”

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth seemed to have an epiphany.

Commands in code cannot be resisted, but human nature can be.

So… it’s that simple.

Gratefully, she looked at Alexander and said earnestly, “You really remind me of my Grandpa.”

Only her Grandpa would share such wisdom with her.

Alexander didn’t know what to say.

He chuckled lightly, any weird feelings that had begun to form instantly vanished.

Turns out, he’s just a Grandpa.

Realizing her oversight, Emily came down to bring Elizabeth to her room, offering her a tracksuit to change into.

Seeing the weather clearing up, Emily urged Elizabeth to continue their barbecue.

Elizabeth didn’t stay long. By 4 p.m., she asked Alexander to drop her off.

Out of courtesy, Emily followed Elizabeth inside to greet Sophia.

Sophia, looking into Elizabeth’s shining eyes, asked warmly, “Elizabeth, did you have fun?”

Elizabeth nodded, her adorable demeanor filling Sophia’s eyes with affection. Turning to Emily, she said, “Thank you. Elizabeth hasn’t been back for long, and I was worried she’d feel out of place or lonely. I’m glad she has a friend like you.”

Even if she could accompany Elizabeth, she wasn’t her peer.

Linda might have played with Elizabeth, but she was very focused on her studies, even on weekends.

“No need for thanks. I love hanging out with Elizabeth. She’s the only one who listens to my chatter,” Emily replied politely.

Sophia was fond of the well-mannered Emily and insisted on giving her some homemade desserts to take home.

Emily tried to decline, knowing she shouldn’t accept things without giving in return, but Sophia’s enthusiasm made it hard to refuse.

Back in the car, Alexander looked at the laden Emily and casually remarked, “After accepting someone’s gift, shouldn’t you give something back?”

“Indeed,” Emily agreed.

Then she heard her brother nonchalantly suzzest, “Bring the little girl over more often. Consider it repayment.”

Emily was speechless.

That’s it?
