CHAPTER 35: CONFRONTATION

Moments earlier

Briar smiled as she watched Tiana busying herself, arranging her clothes in the closet like a grown-up.

Looking at her pride swelled in her as she boasted inwardly and shamelessly, 'My child has indeed grown!'

How could she not feel like that?

She had raised this child from day one until now. Apart from different blood types coursing through their bloodstreams, the little girl was her daughter through and through.

Seeing her being able to do things on her own, especially growing up in a family where everything must be done by servants, was like a jackpot.

She understood that chores like these were nothing for people who grew up like her. When she was around Tiana's age, she could cook, do laundry, go farming and do many other things. What didn't she know to do at that age?

That was life for kids like her and those who are growing up in that environment today.
