"You bet."
"Don't be a stranger."
"Okay."
She probably wouldn't have any reason to ask for his help. Unless, of course, her life got too calm and she needed a little excitement.
The car stopped outside the residential complex, and Sherry helped Penelope carry Kristin out.
"Ms. Austin, thank you so much."
Sherry smiled. "Don't mention it. It seems we have a strange connection. We could have been friends... uh, it's just a bit of a shame."
A shame they couldn't be friends.
Penelope understood Sherry's meaning and completely agreed. She also really liked Sherry's straightforward nature. If it weren't for Theodore, they genuinely could have been friends.
They didn't say goodbye, but both waved amicably.
It had been a rollercoaster of a day. When she got home, Natalie was back, and Hubert had also been dropped off by the Stapletons.
"Where did you guys go to play today? And you didn't even take me!" Hubert demanded, crossing his arms angrily.
Penelope carried the sleeping Kristin into her room, tucked her in, then came out and grabbed Hubert by the ear.
"Ow! Let go!"
Instead of letting go, Penelope flicked him on the forehead. "Weren't you busy calling another man your dad and going home with him? Why would you even bother coming back to me?"
Hubert retorted, "It's because you took Julian's side, not mine!"
"Being unreasonable and acting like a sore loser, is that what I taught you?"
"I'm not!"
"Then it seems you still haven't realized your mistake! Natalie, get me a stick!"
From the kitchen, Natalie's voice rang out.
"Coming!"
Hearing that his mother was about to get physical, Hubert immediately started begging for mercy.
