Chapter 548: Parting With Death2

Mrs. Johnson saw her shake her head and walk away again, thinking she must have done something wrong. She sat alone on the sofa, her heart filled with unease.

She now couldn't scold or berate Amanda, nor did she know how to please her.

She was aware of the taboo between them, which perhaps couldn't be dispelled just because Samuel had made amends with her. The things she had done might be beyond repair.

With this thought, Mrs. Johnson heaved a sigh and sat on the sofa, staring at the little orange sweater she had knitted and couldn't help but touch it.

She longed for a child, feeling extremely lonely at home.

How wonderful it would be to have a grandchild; she would take very good care of them and dress them beautifully.

Mrs. Johnson sighed again at the thought.
