" Mummy! I need a wee, " said a toddler to her mum who was washing up in the kitchen, while the 4-year-old toddler stood behind her mum, watching her busy at work.

" Just hold on a minute, darling. I want to finish washing up first, " replied the 25-year-old mum.

" How long? " The toddler asked again as she hugged the teddy bear, she looked at her mum with a plain and innocent look.

" Two minutes, Alice. I'm almost done, " her mum replied, after which she immediately finished washing the dishes and proceeded to place the dishes on the iron shelf. After that, she continued to look at the toddler and knelt down.

" Hold my shoulder, I want to take off your trousers, " The toddler named Alice obediently followed her mum's instructions, she held Giselle's shoulder, while Giselle took off Alice's trousers and placed them on the chair next to the teddy bear. Giselle then carried Alice to the bathroom, meanwhile, an elderly man entered the house carrying something, he is Giselle's biological father.

" Giselle, Alice!! I'm here! Look at what I've bought for you two, " said Giselle's dad, Calvin Marciano, as he placed the parcel he had brought on the small table.

" We're here, dad! " Giselle answered, while her dad Calvin headed to the kitchen.

" What are you doing? " Calvin asked Giselle, who was in the bathroom with the adorable Alice.

" I've just washed Alice's bottom, she had a wee, " Giselle replied.

" Alright then, I'll wait for you outside. Have you and Alice had lunch yet? " Calvin asked again, showing genuine concern for Giselle and Alice. He was truly worried about the mother and child, fearing they might not have enough food or resources after Giselle decided to move out of his house to begin a new life with her child in a different location.

" Yes, we've just had lunch. How about you and mum? " Giselle asked as she washed Alice's bottom.

" I've already eaten with your mum earlier " Calvin said, then he headed out of the house and stood on the porch, enjoying the beautiful view of Giselle's new home.

" Wait a moment, darling, " Giselle whispered to Alice, then she went out and took Alice's trousers that she had placed on the chair earlier and returned to the bathroom. She assisted Alice in putting the trousers back on. " Now, go to grandpa first, darling. I want to make some tea and serve snacks for grandpa, " Giselle said to Alice, then the toddler smiled sweetly and said...

" Alright mummy, " Alice went straight out and ran towards her grandpa who was outside, while Giselle started brewing tea. " Grandpa! " Alice called Calvin by the title of grandpa, Calvin immediately opened his arms for Alice to come and hug him. Alice ran into her grandpa's arms and hugged him.

" Grandpa, why don't you and grandma live with us anymore? " Alice asked Calvin, then Calvin answered Alice's question.

" Ever since you and your mum moved out of our house, dear, that's why grandma and I don't live with you anymore. " Calvin answered. Alice, still unsatisfied, kept asking Calvin questions.

" So why didn't you and grandma come with us then? I feel sorry to see you constantly going back and forth like this, " said the toddler honestly, without hiding her feelings.

" No, dear, me and your grandma can't stay with you. We already have that old house, " Calvin answered kindly and gently so that the toddler would not be offended.

" Can I come to your house again? " Alice asked again.

" Of course you can, you're my granddaughter. You can come to my house whenever you want, then I will ask your grandma to cook delicious food for you, " Calvin said. Hearing that, Alice kept smiling happily.
