"We're full."
Well, just by looking at him, both Rosemary and Karen already felt like their stomachs couldn't hold anything more.
Sean heard them and oh-so-slightly continued to eat his delicious feast.
Rosemary knew Sean didn't like people asking him questions while he was eating, so she and Karen chatted recklessly on the sidelines.
"Karen, have you ever wanted to go over to your birth parents?"
"No!"
Karen replied without thinking.
As far as she is concerned, she is already content with her life now. If her parents had chosen to abandon her for other reasons, her reappearance in front of them now would only add to their worries and perhaps disrupt their original life now, so instead of this, she would rather be like this now, not knowing anything at all.
"Why?"
"Have you ever thought that maybe they've been looking for you, too, and just haven't heard from you?"
Karen looked at Rosemary with a serious expression on her face and asked with some surprise, "Rosemary, why are you asking about these things today for a good reason?"
Rosemary saw her ask, thought of Judy's painful and self-condemned look, and thought for a moment, "Karen, if your parents hadn't lost you on purpose in the first place, and they suddenly appeared in front of you, would you recognize her?"
"I don't know!"
Karen shook her head, this question never occurred to her, so she did not know whether she would recognize her or not, although she always knew that she was picked up by her father, but since childhood her father gave her almost all the love, even though she left now, but she still felt as if her father was by her side, so she never felt alone, and because of this, so she also never never thought about that.
At that, Rosemary probably knew in her heart what she meant, and if she had never thought about it, she naturally wouldn't know what she really thought.
But since she is her mother's long-lost daughter, no matter what, she wants Karen to be able to identify with her real mother, for her and for Judy.
"Karen, I was actually thinking of ......"
"I'm full, let's go!"
Sean suddenly interrupted what Rosemary was going to say, seeing him stand up and prepare to walk out, and seeing Karen following him, he had to swallow his words.
Just then, Karen suddenly walked up to Rosemary, took a glance outside KFC and said, "Rosemary, those guys outside seem to be following us all the time."
Following Karen's direction, she didn't see anyone suspicious except for some passing pedestrians.
"How come I didn't see it?"
Raising her head, when Karen looked over again, there were indeed none of the people she had just seen, except for the pedestrians passing by.
Could it be that she was really overthinking things, but she just saw those guys staring at her outside!
"Don't worry! In this public place, even if it really is those people, they will also have scruples if they want to make a move, let's go back now!"
Worried that she might think something wrong, Rosemary rushed to reassure her.
Nodded, maybe it really was too much for her.
Since Rosemary told her that Neil's ultimate goal might be to make her disappear completely in front of Joseph, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't afraid, after all, she was just an ordinary person, like them, rich and powerful people to pinch a person, there are ways to do it, the ultimate want is still do not have to get their hands dirty.
This is the true face behind the gentry, as the saying goes, a gentry is as deep as the sea, perhaps the meaning of the phrase includes this point!
"Mmm!"
Karen nodded, and the two headed for the front door.
