Just as the family was enjoying their meal, Lin Xue noticed a shadow flicker in the yard, but it disappeared before she could see it clearly.
However, she knew the person had come inside and must be hiding under the window.
They always ate in the living room, with cradles prepared for the two young children, placed conveniently by the table.
In the sweltering summer, the outer door was open, which is how Lin Xue could see the shadow; otherwise, it would have been invisible.
She ate her meal without revealing her thoughts, knowing that at this time, every household should be cooking and eating. The only ones wandering around aimlessly outside at this time were likely children.
She waited for that little rascal to become impatient and come in on his own.
Sure enough, before she'd had more than a few bites, the child squatting by the door couldn't hold back any longer and slowly crept into the house.
