Why did she have to ask Edward for such a little thing? Was he too strict?
She grabbed Daria and said, "then we won't take the picture anymore! Can you talk to me for a while? Or... I can tell you stories!"
Eden could hear her story every night, but Daria had never heard it, and she would never hear it again...
"Okay! I love stories the most! Tell me the story of Little Tadpoles Looking for their mothers!"
Little Tadpoles Looking for Mommy...
Angela felt sad when she wanted to hear this story. How much did Daria want to find her mother? Her mother was right in front of her, but she couldn't recognize her.
"Daria, actually... "She wanted to say that she was her mother, but she stopped at the thought of Eden. With tears in her eyes, she changed the topic and said," Daria, why do you like kangaroos so much?"
"The kangaroo mother put the baby into her pocket, so that wherever the kangaroo mother goes, the baby won't leave her."
Angela didn't expect that her casual question would made her heart even more ache. She opened her mouth and said, "Daria, I..."
At this time, her phone rang and interrupted her again. It was from Edward. He said, "I've found all my credentials."
He meant that they could leave now.
"Can I stay a little longer?" She asked cautiously. Then she looked at Daria, who held the hand of the kangaroo baby again.
"Ten minutes." The person on the other end of the phone kept silent for a while and then hung up.
She didn't expect that he would give her ten more minutes. Angela was a little happy and wanted to talk more with Daria. She took several photos when she was playing with the kangaroo seriously and didn't want to disturb her.
She might never be able to get along with her like this again. She thought for a while and took out a necklace from her bag. The pendant was a noble swan.
"Daria, your mother asked me to give you a gift." She approached.
As expected, Daria stopped and looked at her when she heard the two words "mother".
Angela put the necklace in her hand and showed it to her. "Your mother asked me to give it to you."
Daria looked at the necklace and suddenly burst into tears. As soon as Daria cried, she didn't know what to do. She held her in her arms and said, "Daria, don't cry!"
Daria cried so hard that made her eyes turned red.
"Mommy doesn't want me! Mom don't want Daria... " Daria stood there, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.
"No! No! Mom didn't abandon Daria. Daria, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Angela couldn't help but burst into tears.
Just when she was in a panic and didn't know how to explain, the door suddenly opened. When she suddenly raised her head, she saw that Edward was standing in front of them. Although he was expressionless, there was a trace of nervousness in his eyes.
He glanced at Angela coldly and took the baby from her hands.
"Why are you crying?"
Daria cried out loud. After a while, she found out who was holding her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and sobbed, "Mom abandoned me... Grandma Kay said that Daria' mom would come back if I was obedient. Daria was obedient. Mom didn't come back."
Edward glanced at Angela, whose eyes were red. She dodged his gaze, took her bag and went out.
Outside the room, she leaned against the wall, raised her head slightly, closed her eyes and cried silently. She held the necklace tightly for a long time before she took a deep breath and lowered her head to wipe her tears.
"Why are you here? You are not welcome here!"
