"Fifi?" Charlotte froze. "Why are you here?"
It's supposed to be in my new home.
"I was worried that Fifi would starve to death at home, so I picked it up brought it over,” Faina explained before bowing at her. "I'm sorry to have done this without first asking for your permission."
"No, no. You don't need to apologize. Thank you."
Charlotte had not returned home since having left last morning. If Faina had not gone to bring Fifi here, Fifi might truly starve to death because it was locked inside its cage.
Hence, she was grateful for Faina's kind gesture.
At the same time, she was worried that Faina would have noticed something amiss when she
went to her house.
Although she had yet time to unpack after moving, and the children's things were still in the room, if Raina had thoroughly gone through her house, she would have found them easily.
"Don't worry. I've only brought Fifi over. I didn't infringe upon your privacy, nor did I touch your stuff," Raina reassured, seemingly understanding Charlotte's worries.
"Oh. Haha. That's good to hear," Charlotte chuckled awkwardly.
"Mommy. Mommy."
Fifi, which had been gloomy earlier, immediately brightened up when it saw Charlotte. It was now fluttering its injured wings and crying out for her.
"Fifi." Charlotte then released the parrot from the cage and cupped it in her hands before kissing its little green head.
"Mommy, miss you. Miss you," Fifi responded as it rubbed his head on Charlotte's cheek.
All these years, Charlotte had never neglected it at home, until yesterday when she went out early in the morning and failed to return at night.
Stuck in the cage, Fifi had long finished its food and water, and by night it was already crying out in hunger.
It was fortunate that Raina had gone to pick it up.
"I'm sorry, Fifi. There was an emergency yesterday and Mommy couldn't care for you in time. Mommy won't leave you behind ever again," Charlotte apologized to Fifi.
Fifi replied by mimicking Ellie's fake sobs. It even covered its eye with its wing, looking like the epitome of misery.
