Get Back to You Chapter 29

It's a bright day in New York and the duo - Giselle and Lia were on their day out; shopping for their welcoming party .

Giselle took her kid Lia out to purchase few items for their party . The items included balloons, baking ingredients for the cake, and dinner . Giselle planned to go out all alone so that she can finish it off soon without any double-trouble . But Lia insisted on tagging along with her mother on one condition; that Lia won't bother her mother with buying toys and street food . Just like any kid, Lia agreed instantly . However, the promise went flying off the sky after taking a few steps outside . Lia noticed a hot dog stall and started looking at her mom with all 'puppy dog eyes' . Giselle had to control her feelings to never fall into the trap . She walked with Lia; holding her hand tightly . That way, she doesn't need to check for her every single time but also ignore those 'cute looks that can knock out you instantly' . They've entered a fancy shop that sells out decoration items . Giselle went in to get some balloons, scented candles, party hangers-on ceilings and some fancy 'welcome home' designed hangers .

Throughout the whole shopping, Lia maintained her composure . This was probably because after getting rejected at the first time, Lia must have endured herself from those wishes . Because Lia behaved well and didn't give Giselle too much of the trouble, the mother finally gave in to her daughter's wish . She granted her a wish to buy anything . Lia overwhelmed in joy . However, this is an 'only one' wish; Lia thought carefully before finalizing . She asked for a 'jigsaw puzzle' . It wasn't so bad, Lia likes these type of things . Giselle encouraged it by purchasing three different jigsaw puzzles . Either she was lucky or it was an accident; because Giselle found a combo offer with three jigsaw puzzles at a cheap rate . Lia graciously accepted her gift . Later, they both returned home . Lia went to her room and placed them in her closed . She ran back to the living room and followed her mother desperately .

Giselle was unable to arrange the purchased items . She finally gave the little girl some attention, "What is it baby? Do you want something?"

"Mom, I'm hungry . Can I have a snack?" Lia seemed really tired from all those walking . Giselle gave her chocolate chip cookies to eat . After getting them, Lia went straight to her room and never disturbed her mother again . Giselle decided the menu for the party .
