The car stopped and the window was lowered.
Catherine couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Auntie Aubree's car parked in the yard.
Auntie Aubree spent the night here last night?
At that moment, Auntie Aubree emerged from the living room holding hands with two children, her half-masked face showing a rare smile.
She saw Auntie Aubree remind the children to watch the steps as the driver opened the car door, and she reluctantly let go of the children's hands.
The children waved goodbye to her.
"Bye Grandma!"
"Grandma, come see us often when you have time!"
"We all love you!"
"We finally have a grandmother!!!"
For a moment, Catherine thought she was hallucinating!
No, it was not possible!
Watching Auntie Aubree get into her car, Catherine hurried to drive away before that car left.
On the way, Catherine's head was buzzing crazily. Clutching the steering wheel, she felt an uncontrollably strong sense of loss.
The scene that she just saw haunted her like a nightmare.
She felt her blood pressure spike!
Slamming on the brake, she pulled over on the roadside. Catherine slumped on the steering wheel, trying to hold back the emotions that were surging in her heart.
Auntie Aubree lied to her...
B&B, the neighboring town.
In the uniquely-decorated room, Jennifer stretched herself and opened her eyes, only to find herself in Ivan's arms.
Her cheeks flushed instantly. Goodness! She was clutching Ivan like an octopus!
"Yesterday was the most meaningful day of my life." Ivan's mellow and magnetic voice reached her ears.
