"Mommy!?"
Charlotte exclaimed in disbelief when she saw her mother behind the door!
Across from her, Liliana noticed the shock on Charlotte's face and smiled, bending down to gently rub her head.
"I'm back, Charlotte," Liliana said softly and lovingly.
As the gentle caress graced her head, tears pooled in the corners of Charlotte's eyes, prompting her to seek solace in Liliana's embrace with a rush of emotion.
"Wuuu~ Mommy! I missed you so much!" Charlotte embraced Liliana tightly, her voice choked with tears.
After four days of not seeing her mother, she missed her terribly, especially since her departure had been sudden and unexplained, leaving her and her sisters feeling deeply aggrieved.
Noticing her sobbing, Liliana's expression softened, and she embraced her gently, patting her back softly.
"It's alright; don't worry, I'm here now," Liliana reassured gently.
