Orphanage (2)

T-Vino Island Orphanage, a little later…

"Madam Ruby!" Shelby called out fondly and walked briskly, and almost running, into the embrace of a plump, homey-looking woman.

Gabriel and Ingrid, alighting from the car behind their mother, smiled. That was the first they had seen their Mama Shelby acting almost like a child in her mother's embrace.

That was precisely how Shelby felt when she was with this woman. Suzie reached out for the hands of the two kids, keeping them close. As for her, Suzie was used to scenes like this, and it no longer surprised her.

"Shelby," Madam Ruby responded fondly and clasped her arms around Shelby fondly.

"Why did you come again? Won't your husband and your family need you -"

"Come on, Ruby, what age are we in? hahaha hahaha!" Shelby rubbed Ruby's back fondly. It may have been true that Shelby lacked a warm embrace of a mother growing up, but Madam Ruby had made up for what Clara had lacked.
