Mackie was overjoyed when she saw her Mommy coming to pick her up. She was scared that her Mommy might have forgotten about her because it was very unlikely for her Mommy to be late unless she fought with Daddy, which happened quite often when they lived together.
But they weren't with Daddy now, and Mackie's simple mind always believed Uncle wouldn't hurt her Mommy.
So what caused her to be late?
Mackie sat right beside her Mommy as the chauffeur drove them back home. She glanced at her Mommy a few times, silently checking if there was a visible bruise around her Mommy's body or if she had just cried until she fainted like before.
But no, Mommy looked alright and even had a natural smile, which was weird for Mackie.
Thus, unable to keep her curiosity, Mackie asked, "Mommy, are you okay?"
"Hmm? I am, what's wrong, Dear?" Chloe asked.
"Because it's rare for you to be late to pick me up. Did Uncle do something to you?"
