"Wait a moment," Nathan Rhodes called out to her, the stubbornness on his face gradually disappearing, "Let's talk."
"But I can't go out right now. The child is at home, the babysitter is on vacation, it's just the child and me at home."
"I can come in and talk, I'll be quick."
Ivy thought for a moment and made room for her to come in.
Upon entering, Nathan saw the child, she smiled and crouched down in front of the child.
"Do you recognize me?"
The child hid behind Ivy, clearly shy, and said, "Mommy, Mommy."
"Don't be afraid, sweetheart, this is Grandma."
"I don't know Grandma."
Ivy pursed her lips. Indeed, since the child was born, this Grandma had seen her only two or three times.
And back then, the child was too young to understand anything; it would be strange if she recognized Grandma.
Nathan also found it a bit awkward and cleared her throat, "Darling, I'm Grandma, your dad's mom."
"But I don't know you. Mommy, didn't you teach me not to talk to strangers?"
