She's Not Good Enough!
The bodyguards worked together to break some of the two wooden stakes on the wooden bridge, and only then did Maxwell's legs come out. Nia quickly looked at his legs and asked, "Maxwell, how is it? Does it hurt? Do you want to see if it can move or not?"
Maxwell tried to stand up with the help of her mother. She kicked her leg and said, "Well, it hurts a little, but it's okay."
Seeing that he could move, Nia probably remembered that his bones were not hurt, so she breathed a sigh of relief. "Why are you so careless? I was almost scared to death by you just now. Why did you come to the bridge?"
"I..." Maxwell lowered her head. "I thought that I would go back after drawing this bridge here. I looked for an angle beside the bridge. Finally, I came to the bridge and took a look. My feet slipped, so I got stuck in it."
Seeing that his face was so low, Nia thought that her tone was too heavy. Feeling distressed, she hugged Maxwell and said, "Okay, okay, it's okay. It's okay. It's good that she's fine. Let's not draw here. Take a picture of this bridge and go home to draw according to the photos, okay?"
"Yes, yes." Auntie's heart ached as well. She looked at Maxwell's leg and said, "Look, it's already green. We have to go home and call the doctor."
"I'm really fine," Maxwell said.
"Even if you have nothing to do, you have to clean it up. Anyway, here..." Thinking of Kate, Aunt was angry. "Now this is not a good place for leisure. It has been more than two hours since we came out. Young Master Jin, let's go back!"
Nia also nodded at Maxwell. "We'll come out later."
Only then did Maxwell nod her head. "Yes."
When the group of people returned to the pavilion and packed up their things to go back, Nia looked around and didn't even look at the sweater she was knitting.
She asked her mother, "Mom, have you seen my sweater?"
Madam was helping Maxwell clean up the painting. She straightened up and looked around. Finally, she came to the stone table and said, "Hey? I remember that Nia, didn't you put it here? There's no one around here."
"I also remember to leave it here." Nia frowned.
Aunt thought of something and asked, "Hey, when did she leave?"
"Just now."
Nia was not sure. After they went to find Maxwell, Kate was no longer there. It was estimated that the woman had left after they went to find Maxwell.
Since they had been in such a bad mood just now, of course, no one mentioned it, let alone asked where the woman was.
Aunt was a prudent person. She looked at Maxwell with concern and walked to Nia's side. She suppressed her voice and said, "Nia, although it may not be appropriate to say this now, is it possible that she gave it to..."
Nia looked at her mother. After she understood what she meant, she frowned and said, "It's impossible. After all, she is the daughter of a rich and powerful family. How could she do such a thing?"
"Alas, this person can change," said his mother. "I heard that there are all kinds of people in the prison. There must be many people from all walks of life. No decent person will be caught and locked up in the prison. No matter how good a person's family background is, he may learn some bad habits if he stays in the prison for a long time..."
Mother shook her head and did not finish her words.
Madam didn't want to guess Kate like that. After all, that woman was Maxwell's mother. What that woman did might implicate Maxwell.
However, there were only the three of them in this pavilion just now. The bodyguards around couldn't take away the sweater...
Nia suddenly stopped the sighing Aunt and said, "Mom, wait a minute."
"Nia?"
Mother turned around.
Nia looked at Maxwell and called her mother aside. She said to her mother, "Let's forget about today's matter. Don't mention this sweater anymore. Remember?"
Knowing that Nia didn't want to make Maxwell uncomfortable, Aunt nodded and sighed. "What if Young Master Jin asks? Didn't he say that he would go back to try the sweater at night?"
"It's okay. I'll tell him then."
Back in the car, Maxwell leaned her head on Nia's shoulder and yawned. They came out after lunch and hadn't taken a nap yet. At this moment, Maxwell was a little sleepy.
But when she was about to fall asleep, Maxwell suddenly said in a low voice, "Nia, I'm sorry... about my mother."
Maxwell was usually a quiet and peaceful child. She would only be so depressed and fragile when she relied on others.
Nia stroked Maxwell's head and said softly, "Why do you say sorry for no reason?"
"I shouldn't have been willful. I shouldn't have let my mother come." Maxwell lowered her head. Her soft hair covered his eyes, forming a warm yellow glow under the sunlight outside the car window. "I was just afraid that she would think that I was too pitiful... I didn't expect her to say those words... I'm sorry..."
He actually let the child say these words. Nia's heart ached for Miss Kate. She felt that Miss Kate was not worthy of being a mother.
She leaned her face against his forehead and comforted Maxwell gently, "I don't care. Why do you care? Besides, you didn't ask her to come. I agreed to let her come. Don't worry, I didn't take her words to heart. If you are sleepy, go to sleep. I will call you when we get home."
Only then did Maxwell nod her head. She leaned against Nia and fell asleep.
Hearing this, Aunt couldn't help sighing. She really didn't know why such a good child like Young Master Jin would have a mother like Kate. Kate didn't deserve to be Young Master Jin's mother at all!
However, she agreed with Nia's words. There were some things that were indeed not easy to let Young Master Jin know. There was no need to make Young Master Jin sad.
On the night she returned to the Ali Enterprises home, Maxwell still remembered that she was going to try on her sweater. After taking a shower, she ran to Nia's room and said with expectation, "Nia, the sweater is ready. Can I try it on?"
Because of Nia's growing up, and because she and Zayn were about to get married, their rooms were not together.
Nia also lived in a separate room in the Ali Enterprises, accompanied by a nanny room that could take care of her daily life.
Seeing Maxwell coming in, the nanny said to Nia, "Then I'll help you put some water for the bath."
Nia nodded. After the nanny went to the bathroom, Nia looked at Maxwell and said with embarrassment, "Maxwell, I was just about to tell you. Try the sweater again. It's not ready yet!"
"But Nia, didn't you say that you could try it in the afternoon?"
"Well..." Nia pretended to be distressed. She scratched her head and said with a shy smile, "Yes, I don't think it's good enough, so I sent the sweater to a friend of mine. Let my friend help me see how to change it. I'll take it back next time."
Maxwell frowned. "But I look good. There's no need to change it!"
