It was getting somewhat late, so Angeline and the children merely conversed for a while more before she told the children to head to bed earlier.
Baby Zetty returned to her room and tore off the mask she had put on all day, letting all of her tears flow down.
Brother Finn and Sis Tammy were getting married, and the last bit of hope inside Baby Zetty's heart had completely shattered.
She knew that once Brother Finn and Sis Tammy got married, there would be zero possibility for her and Finn.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Baby Zetty wiped off her tears in a panic.
Angeline entered the room and saw the moment when Baby Zetty was frantically controlling her sobs in a hurry. Her body immediately stiffened by the door.
"What's the matter, Zetty?"
Could it be that Jenson and Baby Robbie had only been reporting nothing but pleasant news yet were sweeping the bad news under the carpet?
Zetty obviously had gotten a lot thinner now, and she was smiling more frequently as well. However, it
seemed clear that it was a mask she had put in front o f them.
Angeline dragged her heavy footsteps over and walked toward Baby Zetty. She gently probed, asking, " Are you still unable to forget about Brother Finn, Baby Zetty?"
Baby Zetty plunged into Mommy's arms and wailed while apologizing, "I'm sorry for worrying you, Mommy.”
Angeline knew that after she became pregnant, Baby Zetty had become more reluctant to share her feelings with her. The child was too filial and wanted to show care toward the baby in Angelina's belly.
However, Angeline felt even more sorry for this child after seeing how sensible and kind she was. She very gently coaxed her, saying, "Zetty, you can share whatever that's on your mind with me. Mommy is your most loyal listener, so let’s work out a solution to all your confusion. You don’t have to worry about the baby in my belly. I think your little brother or sister will be thrilled to share all of your emotions with you."
Baby Zetty stretched her hands out and gently touched Mommy's belly. Then, she suddenly asked," How about having another sister, Mommy?”
Angelina’s face suddenly turned dark. Was Baby Zetty giving up on herself? Was that the reason why she needed a sister to take her place instead?
