Charlotte's heart began to ache again. It took her a few seconds to gather herself, managing to muster up a smile, "You're both still young. Don't worry about all this. Whether you return to your father or not, just remember that I will always be your mommy."
Saying this, Chad pursed his lips, understanding the meaning behind Charlotte's words. He didn't say anything else, but there was a complicated mix of emotions in his eyes.
Charlotte shrugged her shoulders, her tone forcedly casual, "Let's not feel too sad. It's a good thing for Annie to stay with her biological parents."
While waiting for the traffic light to change, she turned to glance at Grace sitting behind her. The girl was obviously feeling dejected.
Annie usually had the best relationship with her. Despite being the youngest among the children, Annie was always eager to offer advice to Grace, like an older sibling.
