Chapter 109
When the old woman who seemed to be the leader heard what was said, her face immediately darkened. She didn’t expect Sophia to suddenly expose her.
Sophia hit the spot where it hurt most.
Children are afraid of losing their parents.
This old woman also had a weakness. She was worried that her children were unfilial and would ignore her. If others came to know about it and started gossiping, she would die of shame.
However, before Sophia could finish speaking, she pulled Aiden toward another old woman and smiled.
“Aiden, ask this granny again. She’s already old, but why is she so thin? It’s
heartbreaking. Is her family unwilling to even give her food? Why does she look so shabby? How much do her children earn a month? If I didn’t know, I would think her whole family is poor too.”
Sophia had a good temperament and looked like a highly educated lady. Even when she scolded people, she smiled and did not use any bad words.
Moreover, Sophia spoke very clearly and did not mince her words. Every point she made was logical, making everyone around her dumbfounded. Those who were watching the couple quarrel looked over.
Aiden couldn’t remember all the words Sophia said, but he imitated her. “No children want a mother like you… You have nothing to eat, you have to eat trash!”
The old women were so angry that their faces turned red.
Sophia took the initiative and said sarcastically before they could speak, “What’s the hurry? Aiden and I are just joking with you. Don’t tell me you can’t even take a joke?”
The old women were humiliated by their own words. For a moment, they were speechless. They could not scold Sohpia or Aiden, so they could only leave, feeling
embarrassed.

Although Aiden did not understand what those words meant, he knew his aunt and his great–grandmother were protecting him. Not only was he smiling through his tears, but his posture was also very straight like he had won a battle.
Valerie heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this.
She expressed her gratitude to Sophia, but Sophia ‘t mind. “I just can’t stand those old women. They are already so old yet they suil bully children. How shameless!”
However, after chasing away those who were watching the commotion, the real problem had yet to be resolved.
There was a commotion coming from the fruit shop. Valerie could not bear it anymore. She held Aiden’s hand and opened the fruit shop’s sliding door.
In the shop, Ashley held Julian Warren’s hand tightly and cursed aggressively.
Valerie interrupted her, “Ashley.”
When Ashley saw Valerie, she looked unhappy. “What are you doing here?”
Valerie said, “I remember that it’s Aiden’s birthday in two months. Since he wants a piano, I’ll buy it for him. Treat it as an early birthday gift for him!”
Julian had taken good care of Valerie since she was young, and Aidan was indeed a very good child. Valerie could still afford to buy him a piano. More importantly, she felt that there was no need to quarrel so badly over something that could be resolved with money. Aiden was still young. The quarrel between his parents would leave a huge psychological trauma on him.
Julian immediately refused. “Valerie, I can’t let you spend…”
Valerie interrupted him firmly. “Julian, don’t say anymore. I’m giving Aiden a gift. As long as Aiden is fine with it, it is settled.”
Valerie had not thought much about the piano before. But after watching Mr. Grant play the piano last night, she was envious of people who knew how to play the piano from the bottom of her heart. It was very rare for someone to find their interests and work hard for them.

Julian was a little moved by Valerie’s insistence bu no one expected Ashley to stand up?
and say no!
“No! Our house is only 90 square meters. There’s nowhere to put the piano! Besides, we can’t spoil our son! We can’t just give him whatever he wants. He will just want more! Valerie, I’m warning you. Don’t interfere in our family’s matters!”
“Ashley, I don’t want to interfere in your family matters. I just want to fulfill Aiden’s. wish as his aunt.”
However, no matter what Valerie said, Ashley did not agree. Ashley had been
holding a grudge against Valerie since she was bullied at the Warren residence. Therefore, even if Valerie wanted to help her, she felt that Valerie was deliberately showing off.
“Valerie, I said no. Besides, in Aiden’s situation, even buying a piano would be a waste. Unless…”
“Unless what?”
“I heard from his music teacher that there’s a children’s music competition in Kranson City next month. Unless he gives me a trophy, I won’t agree!”
