"We're going out to take care of it. We can pick up Elisha and still make it to the courthouse before it closes. The sooner we register, the better."
Amanda couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. She even showed rare concern for me.
"Alright, alright. Be careful on the road."
I smiled.
Away from you people, I would be safe wherever I go.
As for the fact that they were buying the wrong investment property, that was none of my business anymore.
At the school gate...
The moment I saw Elisha, it felt like ages had passed.
I rushed over and held her tightly in my arms.
Her chubby little hands wiped my tears as concern filled her tender face.
"Mommy, what's wrong? Did Grandma scold you again?"
Ever since giving birth to her, Amanda had never shown us any kindness.
It had made Elisha incredibly sensitive.
I quickly shook my head, unable to cherish her enough.
"No, honey, Mommy just missed you."
She pressed her lips, revealing adorable dimples that had been absent for too long.
Her smile brought tears to my eyes again.
Tilting her head, she hugged my neck. "Mommy, even though it's only been a day, I missed you too."
As she spoke, she planted a kiss on my cheek.
