She said that she would take the eight children to enjoy the high life instead of living in this small, shabby house.
The eight children hesitated when they heard that Charlotte was not leaving.
Yolanda gestured wildly and shouted, "Why are you all standing there in a daze? A villa! A big villa! There is a swimming pool! A big villa with a children's room!"
A look of eagerness appeared in Primo's eyes.
Big villa, swimming pool!
He had seen it on TV.
At that time, he had been so envious that he had drooled.
"Then, Grandma," Octavia whispered, "is there a princess room and Barbie dolls?"
"Yes, there must be," Yolanda said. "The big villa has everything!"
There was a look of longing in Octavia's eyes.
She looked at Charlotte cautiously. "Mom, are you not going?"
Charlotte shook her head.
Octavia took a deep breath, then stood by Charlotte's side. "If Mom is not going, then I won't either!"
