The Past(5)

After May and Bentley went inside their room, Cooper and Gianna again walked outside the hut to talk about something. It was now only Evelyn who was standing inside the yard.

She hesitated for a moment before she gathered her courage and walked towards her aunt and uncle's room.

Evelyn knew that her aunt was going to talk to her uncle about what that aunt (Gianna) had said to her.

She wanted to know if her uncle would agree to send her away.

A part of Evelyn's heart wished that her uncle would refuse.

She didn't know that uncle and aunt (Gianna and Cooper). Regardless of how she was living in her aunt's house, she was still safe. Even if her cousins bullied her sometimes, she still got something to eat even though not enough to fill her stomach.

And her aunt and uncle were her only blood relatives after her father and mother.

Evelyn stood near the room and opened the door slightly. She could hear very clearly what her aunt and uncle were talking about.
