Time came to after dinner on Friday. Mike and Paige, who returned to Meemaw Connie's house, sat together on the old sofa, watching soap operas on TV.
Enjoying the rare leisure time.
"Paige, do you want to come with me tomorrow to meet Mia's grandmother, Queen Renaldi?" Mike asked suddenly.
During this period, the little girl was either studying at school or doing scientific research in the university laboratory. On weekends, she was left alone at home, keeping Mike's computer company.
Without entertainment activities or extra social interactions, this boring life wasn't good for the little girl's growth.
Paige's situation was different from Young Sheldon's; she didn't dislike socializing, but her super-high IQ made it difficult for her to make friends.
"Queen of Genovia? Sure~" Paige thought for a moment and answered.
Mia and her grandmother's identities were still confidential, but because of Mike, Paige obviously knew their identities.
The little girl had already met Mia, a girl who wore carelessness on her face but had a surprisingly gentle and kind heart.
Overall, a good girl.
Yes, Paige, with super-high IQ and EQ, saw people this accurately and thoroughly.
And Mia's grandmother, managing the development of a small country, must be an extremely outstanding woman, so Paige didn't mind meeting her.
"OK, I'll call Joseph right now and ask him to inquire about the Queen's opinion," Mike said.
For someone with status like Queen Renaldi, bringing someone to visit without permission would seem very impolite.
The call connected, and Mike informed Joseph of his intention, also roughly explaining Paige's situation to him.
Soon, Joseph on the other end of the phone, after asking for the Queen's opinion, gave an affirmative answer.
Queen Renaldi didn't mind Mike bringing an extra child over.
"Done, we can go have lunch with the Queen together tomorrow noon." Mike returned to the sofa and informed the little girl of the good news.
"Got it~" Paige reacted flatly, then moved a bit on the sofa, leaning halfway on Mike, and continued watching the soap opera on TV.
Everything seemed so cozy.
Time came to Saturday. Although she acted very flatly last night, when it really came time to meet the Queen, the little girl still specially dressed herself up.
The creamy white floral long dress on her body was very beautiful, and the bright fruit hair accessory on her head was also very cute.
"Then let's go. Pick up Mia first, then go see the Queen, the timing is just right." Almost noon, Mike called Paige, who was staying in front of the mirror, to go out together.
During this period, unless Mike wasn't free, he was generally responsible for taking Mia to see her grandmother.
As for Joseph's stretch Lincoln, it was about to be laid off.
At this time, the convertible Ferrari arrived at the old district again, and Mia was already waiting downstairs.
Then, Mike picked up the girl and drove all the way with the wind to the Queen's villa.
Sure enough, young people should drive convertibles to be exciting.
Not long after, the red Ferrari stopped outside the luxurious villa. The serious-looking Mr. Butler came up to greet them, his gaze lingering on Paige for an extra second.
Then, this butler led the three into the villa.
Mr. Butler didn't use the metal detector on Paige, who came for the first time, obviously because the Queen had greeted him in advance.
In the living room, Queen Renaldi sat dignifiedly on the sofa as always.
As Mike and the other two arrived, she got up and looked at the "newcomer" Paige, teasing with a smile: "Whose little angel is this, looks so cute~"
Facts proved that even a queen would joke sometimes.
Perhaps because of age, Queen Renaldi looked very happy seeing the little girl Paige.
"Hello, Queen Renaldi. I'm Paige~" Paige greeted politely.
The elegant temperament on the Queen didn't make her dislike it.
These two unexpectedly got along well.
Next, the Queen took the three to enjoy a sumptuous royal lunch. At the same time, she didn't forget to instruct her granddaughter on dining etiquette during the meal.
Yes, until now, Mia hadn't thoroughly mastered royal dining etiquette.
On the one hand, royal dining etiquette was too complicated; on the other hand, because of the girl's careless personality, she often ignored some details.
After lunch, today's learning content for Mia was piano. As a classical instrument, practicing piano could give the girl an elegant temperament.
This was very important.
And the teacher responsible for teaching the girl was still the versatile Mr. Butler.
Here, Mike accompanied Mia to learn piano.
Over there, the little girl Paige was unexpectedly pulled by Queen Renaldi to the sofa for a chat.
[Piano Performance Experience +5] ... [Piano Performance Experience +3] ...
With Mr. Butler's teaching, Mike expressed that today was another fruitful day.
But this was suffering for Mia, the future princess of the kingdom. The stiffness of her slender ten fingers once made Mr. Butler doubt whether she was really suitable for learning to play the piano.
Musical sense and touch are things others can't teach.
The only way to improve is to practice more.
So, Mia, tortured by the keys for a full two hours, ran out of the villa like escaping a disaster after ending today's study.
On the other side, the little girl Paige's mood seemed quite good.
She had a pleasant chat with Queen Renaldi this time, and even when saying goodbye, the Queen invited the little girl to come play again next time.
"How about we go shopping on the commercial street?" In the red Ferrari, Mike suggested.
Then, his proposal was unanimously approved by both girls.
The town of Medford is actually very large in area, belonging to sparsely populated land. Only the commercial street here is lively at any time.
Before long, infected by the lively atmosphere of the commercial street, Mia's mood improved.
Then a delicious strawberry ice cream made the girl completely forget her unhappiness.
Later, to take care of Paige, Mike took the two ladies to the amusement park.
Here, although Paige said it was childish, she was happier than anyone when playing bumper cars and roller coasters.
At dusk, Mike treated the two ladies to a special chicken feast before ending the pleasant day.
After sending Mia home, when Mike and Paige rushed back to Meemaw's house, they saw Meemaw Connie sitting on the sofa in the living room without turning on the lights at a glance.
With her head slightly lowered, she looked a bit depressed.
This emotion was rare in Meemaw.
"Connie, what happened?" Mike took Paige to sit at the sofa.
Obviously, Meemaw Connie was still very happy when going out this morning.
Because Mike wasn't going to the University of Texas today, Meemaw Connie took over sending Young Sheldon to the laboratory there.
Similarly, this was also a good opportunity for Meemaw Connie to visit Professor John.
The two elderly people who had confirmed their romantic relationship indeed hadn't seen each other for a long time.
For this, when Meemaw Connie went out this morning, she actually dressed up well.
"I don't know how to say it." Meemaw Connie organized her language: "I feel John likes those research projects more than me..."
Meemaw Connie, getting on in years, valued spiritual resonance with her partner more, commonly known as platonic love.
Therefore, she could tolerate not meeting the other party, but couldn't tolerate the other party not having her in his heart.
And Professor John's personality was a bit like Young Sheldon's, dull in perceiving emotions and somewhat self-centered.
Especially when they were doing things they liked, they would deliberately block out surrounding interference.
So it wasn't hard to imagine that Meemaw Connie, who was looking forward to reuniting with Professor John today, must have been given the cold shoulder by him.
"This..." Mike, understanding the cause and effect, didn't know how to persuade Meemaw Connie.
Actually, in his view, Meemaw Connie and Professor John were no longer suitable as a couple.
From knowledge to personality to what they pursued, they were very different, like people from two worlds.
And worse, neither of them was the type to accommodate the other.
"Phew, thanks for listening to an old woman's nagging, I feel much better." Meemaw Connie, having poured out her heart, looked much better: "Alright, I need to go get a good sleep, you guys rest early too."
After speaking, she got up and walked towards her room.
Can only say, this is indeed Meemaw Connie, far more free and easy than ordinary people.
