Maria smiled faintly and waved at Sidney, like greeting an old friend.
Sidney, however, coldly averted his gaze and walked off with Diana.
Maria finally got a clear look at the girl, who was undeniably beautiful.
Herman got into the car and asked, "Miss Conner, where do you live?"
Maria gave him the address.
"Thank you, Mr. Evans."
Herman chuckled lightly. "You're Tiana's friend, no need to be so formal with me."
Maria's smile became a bit more relaxed. "Tiana is Tiana, and you're you. It's not the same."
Herman was momentarily at a loss for words.
He glanced at Maria again.
Earlier, she'd been quiet, almost reserved.
But now, in this more private moment, he realized she was different from most people.
She didn’t seem to care about others’ opinions, acting on her own whims with a laid-back, carefree attitude. It was as though she possessed a truly free spirit.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance to her complex.
Maria got out of the car. "Goodbye, Mr. Evans."
Herman nodded slightly, watching as she walked away.
Just then, a middle-aged couple rushed toward Maria, grabbing her by both arms.
"Mary! I finally found you! I’m your mother!" The woman clung to her like she'd never let go, tears streaming down her face.
Maria frowned, pulling against their grip but unable to free herself.
She snapped, "Let go of me! I don’t know you!"
The woman cried even harder. "You are Mary! You’re my daughter! If you don’t believe us, we can go to the hospital for a DNA test!"
