M.. mom! I am good. I was just missing you." the little girl barely whispered when Oriana smiled sweetly. She wrapped her arms around the little girl and rubbed her back tenderly.
"Oh, Abigail. You do know that I have a lot of responsibilities right? I get entangled in many things. But you have to grow up to be a fine lady and share my responsibilities one day. So even if I am busy and could not share meals with you, you must eat a lot and study a lot.
Only when you will be a fine lady, will you be able to stand with me, one day! Could you do that for me." Abi blinked her large animated eyes. She nodded again and again with a look that she understood.
"Yes, mom, I will work hard. I will be a fine lady like you one day. And then I will marry a duke too." Abi patted her chest as if she was taking an oath.
Olivia had a painful smile on her face. How much the girl had missed her mother. Simple responsibilities from her mother had made her this happy.
