"Do you really want to go?" Quinn chuckled helplessly.
"Yes mum. I want to go and stay with them for a while. I will miss you though." Emelda cuddled up to her mother.
Quinn patted her head fondly.
Her parents and grandparents were insistent that Emelda came to stay with them. They were even of the opinion that Emelda continued schooling there.
Quinn was afraid that Emelda would be against it. After all, she was separated from her mother.
But how wrong she was!
Emelda was ecstatic about the idea.
"Okay.. I will them a call right now and tell them you are coming." Quinn smiled, though she was sad.
She was going to be separated from her daughter. She felt really really sad.
"Mum... Don't worry, you will visit me there right?" Emelda questioned with a cute smile.
"Of course I will. Mum can't bear to be away from you for so long. Silly.." Emelda snuggled closer to her mother.
Quinn picked up her phone to call her grandfather.
After few rings, he picked up.
"Hello?" His voice sounded at the end of the line.
Quinn informed him of her decision to allow her daughter come over to be in their care. He was ecstatic about it. He even asked her few times to be doubly sure he had heard her right.
Avie came in at that moment. She had received a call from her boss.
"Book a flight to Washington DC. I'm taking Emelda to stay with my parents and grandparents." Quinn instructed.
Avie was surprised but she didn't say a word. She only bowed and left.
She was surprised because Quinn always wanted her daughter to be close to her. Then why did she want to send her away?
Was there a reason behind her decision?
===============
Washington DC.
The Stones family mansion.
Emelda was happily playing with her grandma. Quinn looked at them and felt her heart ache.
Now that she had brought her over, she suddenly didn't want to leave.
Emelda was like oxygen that she needed to survive...
"How have you been?" Her mother asked.
"Fine mum. Just a little bit stressed out." Quinn smiled.
"Why don't you leave the Corporation? We have a lot of jobs for you to choose from. Why choose the Corporation?" Her father asked the same question they always asked her.
She didn't respond as usual. She only smiled and turned to her grandfather.
"Grandpa, you look youthful today. What's the secret?" Quinn teased her grandfather.
"Do I? The secret is to be happy. If you have someone who takes care of you,of course you will be like me." Her grandfather retorted.
Her mother cleared her throat at that moment,
"I have something to tell you, Quinn. Let's head to your room." Her mom whispered into her ears.
Both of them stood up and headed upstairs.
"Where are you guys going?" Her grandma questioned as she tickled Emelda. Emelda in turn burst out laughing uncontrollably.
"To have some ladies talk." Quinn winked and followed her mother's lead as they headed to her room.
Her mom pushed the door open and walked in.
The room wasn't brightly colored. It had initially been painted black,but when Quinn had returned, she requested for the color to be changed to grey. She even requested for grey sheets and duvets.
Quinn wasn't someone who loved bright colors; she always loved dim and not too bright colors.
