Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse novel Chapter 113

Book10 Chapter2.

I officially settle down in my hometown.

I tidy up the overgrown small yard and plant some fruits and vegetables.

I have Grandma Samantha's memorial photo framed and hang it right in the center of the living room.

I name the little girl Doris Wilson.

Before long, the court approves my adoption application. Having Doris around makes my town life feel a lot less lonely.

Doris hardly shows a smile, and always looking at me with a stern face.

She understands everything, and despite being just four years old, she seems so mature. On the days when I am sick, she would stand on a stool to make soup for me.

I can't help but think of my biological child.

The little lord of the Evans family, Aaron Evans, who would receive an entire ski resort as a gift whenever he wants to ski, or have a whole candy factory when he craves sweets.

They are so different.

Doris asks me why I'm willing to adopt her.

She considers herself as a burden.

I gently stroke her head and reply, "Because I feel lonely, and I need you to keep me company from now on."

She looks at me, silent for a moment, then nods vigorously.

"Alright, I'll be with you for life."

And so the days go by, one after another.

"Why did they fight?" That is all I want to know.

The teacher shoots me a strange look.

"What?"

"Aaron said that Doris was trying to steal his mom."

"What did you say?" I freeze in my tracks.

"Doris has a photo of you and her in her pencil case," the teacher explains, "Aaron saw the photo and said... for trying to steal his mom."

he said Doris is shameless I fall silent, following the teacher into the office.

When we get there, she turns back to me and says, "Oh, by the way, Aaron's dad is already here.
