Chapter 528 I Liked You

Elain clapped her hands and said, "Of course, I do! Aunt Ashley, if you come with us, Aunt Ellie will have a lot of company, and we'll all be happy! She would really appreciate that because she's usually alone."

Hearing that, Ashley puckered her lips and asked, "Is Ellie usually home alone?"

"Yes. Every time I went to see her, she was always at home alone. I thought she was very lonely, just like my father. My father is also lonely a lot. Aunt Ashley, why don't you visit her much?"

Ashley smiled at Elain. "I've been busy recently. When it's all done, I'll spend more time with her."

"Well, that would be great. We can keep her company then," said Elain cheerfully.

Ashley smiled at her and rubbed her head without saying anything.

Ashley remembered that she had to stop over and buy some groceries. This was something important and Ashley couldn't ignore it. She decided to go get groceries with Ellie and Elain.

After they got off the bus, they went to the supermarket. Ashley was very familiar with this place. The vegetables were always fresh, and the products were always inexpensive, but of the highest quality. Ashley always went shopping here with Ellie, and the supermarket held nothing but happy memories for her. This would be the best place to get the groceries and spend some time with Ellie and Elain, as well.

Ashley took a shopping cart and pushed it through the aisles without much thought. Suddenly, she remembered one of her shopping trips with Ellie. She remembered seeing a child sitting in one of the grocery carts. The kid was very happy and seemed really thrilled.

It was a nice little scene, and she figured that Elain could probably benefit from it.

Ashley looked at Elain and asked, "Would you like to sit in the cart?"

"Would I?" Elain's eyes lit up like fireworks. Ashley couldn't help but smile as she looked at Elain. There was so much innocence and zest for life in the child's eyes. "I'd love to ride in the cart!" Elain confirmed.

Ashley smiled and replied, "Well, this is your lucky day! You're riding in the cart!"

Ashley smiled at Elain, as she picked her up. Elaine was actually a little heavier than A

o her needs as a child. He didn't know the things that interested Elain, like her favorite cartoon, her favorite toys, or even her favorite food. The cartoon shows were always a welcome distraction for Elain.

She had not seen this episode before.

It was actually quite popular with kids, but Elain never really got the chance to see it. Edmund was not one to sit beside his kid watching cartoons with her. He was more of a responsible provider than a sensitive parent. He was not a bad man by any stretch, just a man doing his best.

He doesn't have the touch or sensitivity of a mother, and this often brought unnecessary trouble with him and Elain. This was another reason why Elain always enjoyed her time with Ellie, and now with Ashley as well.

Ashley was happy to see that the cartoon got Elain's attention. "Just sit here and enjoy the show. If you need anything, we're just in the kitchen, preparing dinner."

"Okay," Elain said obediently. Ashley started to prepare the food in earnest.

Ellie noticed that Ashley was a natural in this. "You really have a way with kids, don't you?"

Ashley nodded. "Of course. They are so cute and funny. How can I not like them?"

"I think you and Andrew should have a baby as soon as possible. I can help you look after the baby. I think I should be its godmother," said Ellie.

After hearing Ellie's words, she replied with a smile, "I know. I think you would make a great godmother."
