Chapter 38 Lulu's Change of Heart
Mara kept looking at her phone and finally waited until ten o'clock almost eleven o'clock.
This was the time when Lulu woke up.
Chloe said, "Just wait. In less than ten minutes, the Murray family was going to call you back."
Mara, "What if they don't call?"
Chloe shook her head, "That's not possible. they might say coldly when they call, but they will call me."
Mara waited until 12,00 noon, but still no news from the Murray family.
She couldn't sit still and got up and said, "No, I have to go check it out."
Chloe didn't pull Mara back even after several callings. She just felt that Mara was too indolent.
No child could leave his mother. Why she was in hurry?
Murray family.
Susie was taking Lulu to draw.
"Here you go." Susie handed Lulu a piece of white paper.
Lulu twisted her head and grunted, "I don't want yours."
Although she said so, she still picked it up.
Susie wondered, "Don't you want it?"
Lulu lifted her chin and said stiffly, "I'm not white enough on this paper, so barely use yours."
In a short while, they both drew a picture and Susie said, "I'll send it to my old friend."
Then, she ran out to find Craig and dragged him over.
Craig took off his glasses while asking, "What did you draw today?"
Susie took her words, "Look, Grandpa. A self-portrait of an egg."
Craig couldn't help but laugh and asked again, "Where's Lulu's?"
Lulu had watched the two laughing at Susie's painting and was in a downbeat mood, feeling that grandpa just didn't like her. That's when Craig asked, and she couldn't help but get a glint in her eye.
Lulu said happily, "I drew a self-portrait of a hen."
Craig raised his eyebrows and looked at Lulu's drawing, suddenly realizing that she was also good at drawing.
It may not be as dynamic as Susie's paintings, but it was full of childishness.
Susie picked up Craig's phone, clicked a picture of her painting, took a picture of Lulu's painting, and sent them to Master Leopold.
She pressed the phone, came close to the microphone, and said, "Old friend, this is the painting I drew with my sister."
Soon Zachariah sent a voice, "You both draw well. Do you mind if I post them?"
Susie turned her head to look at Lulu and saw that she agreed, so she happily replied that she didn't mind.
Not long after, Zachariah put up the paintings on Facebook. This time, there was not only Susie's but also Lulu's.

Lulu could not read, but the light in her eyes grew brighter when she saw
So that's how it felt to be complimented.
All this time, no one had ever praised her except her mother who keeps saying 'Lulu is great'.
It turned out that without crying and making a fuss, she could also get the attention of others.
Lulu looked to Susic and for the first time thought independently about a problem.
Her grandmother and mother both said that Susie was a little villain, who came to the Murray family specifically to rob her. But now she felt as if that was not the case.
In the afternoon, without her mother and no one else to play with, Lulu went to Susie again.
Two little girls with a small bucket were catching fish to play in the shallow pool in the garden.
Mara arrived at the Murray family long ago, but unfortunately, she didn't even get in and was kicked out again.
She was so depressed and upset that she kept wandering around outside the Murray family estate.
The Murray family's estate was not completely enclosed, some lots were surrounded by a high fence and some were natural barriers to the lake.
Others had only iron fences separating the estate from the back of the mountain to blend in with nature.
Mara looked through the bars and saw Lulu from afar who was playing
with Susie.
She felt suddenly uncomfortable. How could her good girl play with Susie? "Lulu." shouted Mara, "Baby, look here."
Susie was catching fish with Lulu when she suddenly heard Mara's voice.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Mara outside the bars.
Lulu whipped her head around to look, "I think I hear mom's voice."
Susie immediately covered her ears and said, "No, you didn't hear that."
Then, she pulled Lulu's hand to run to the house, "Quickly, there are big monsters behind."
As soon as Lulu heard that, she remembered the 'person' from last night.
At that moment, without looking back, she ran faster than Susie into the house.
Mara was about to die of anger.
After coming to the Murray family, they grabbed Lulu's things, causing Lulu to be criticized in full view of the public.
And now they were bringing Lulu to the wrong side.
Mara was angry. As aunt Mara, she did not like such a child.

In the evening, Zion, Hamza, and Wade returned from their hobby class.
Because it was the weekend, tonight's dinner was also an unprecedented neat, Murray family's sons were all back.
Craig said, "Susie is bored at home all day, so we'll take some time tomorrow and go camping together at the wetland park."
Susie bit into her chopsticks and asked with a tilted head, "Grandpa, what's camping?"
She could understand some of the things she's been exposed to, but not quite sure what she hasn't seen, like camping. Ryan explained with a smile, "Camping is going out into the wilderness and staying outside."
Susie wondered, "We have a home. Why don't we live at home?"
Zion snorted and said with contempt, "Hillbilly."
He threw his chopsticks away and walked out with his hands in his pockets, "No more. I'm not going camping tomorrow either." What's so great about camping? He might as well be at home playing
games.
Craig blushed and said, "What are you talking about? Come back and sit down for me."
Zion made a face, "The emperor has given the word. Run."
Martin put down his chopsticks with a snap and said coldly, "Zion."
Zion was silenced. Although he was a little afraid of Martin, his eldest uncle, he was not also defiant.
Then, he ran upstairs.
Craig had a bit of a headache.
None of these two children in David's family were easy to mess with.

On the other hand, Mia's mom, who was always following Master Leopold's account, found that Master Leopold had posted.
This time, there were not only Susie's paintings but also Lulu's paintings.
Mia's mother felt very uneven. Susie's drawings were just like that, barely comparable to Mia's.
But what the hell was Lulu drawing? Was that a hen? It didn't look anything like that. A few messy lines.
Mia's mother was indignant, "What the hell. The Murray family is also speechless enough. Spending money to promote Susie is not enough, and now they are pushing Lulu up with them. They are so utilitarian. It's just two kids with average drawings."
Mia sat quietly to one side and said gloomily, "Mom, did Mia say something bad that day."
She was haunted by the day her lies were exposed in public.
The thought of the jeering, skeptical eyes of those people was too much for her mental shadow area.
And Susie took her place. Two aunts who passed in front of the car said she was not qualified to be a student of Master Leopold.
As time goes by, Mia, instead of releasing her resentment, became more and more resentful towards Susie.
Mia's mother said comfortingly, "Don't think too much about it. It's not your fault."
Seeing that Mia was depressed, Mia's mom thought about it and said, "Tomorrow, let's have a rest. Mommy will take you to camp."
Mia's face lit up with joy, "Really?" Because she had been attending various interest classes since she was two years old.
Every weekend was full, and even if she had the occasional break, Mia's mom had to read books with Mia and develop a reading habit.
So, Mia's life was surrounded by school, tutorials, interest classes, and home.
Now that she knew she could go camping, Mia had finally become a little happier.
