On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Casimir was knocking on the door early in the morning. Leah had just woken up but was dragged downstairs to make dumplings.
The elderly Mrs. Shaw was rarely interested in making dumplings and had Aunt Zhao prepare all kinds of fillings early in the morning, then called Leah to join in making them.
In the past, when Leah was with Griffith in the Golden Triangle, they also celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve. Griffith would specially cook for her that day and even let her drink alcohol, but as for the meticulous task of making dumplings, neither Griffith nor Leah knew how.
This warm atmosphere of a family doing something together made her feel very warm, as if she truly was a member of the Shaw Family. If she'd known earlier that the elderly Mrs. Shaw was so easy to get along with, she might have persuaded Richard to come home for New Year's two years ago.
