By the time Charlotte got home and washed up, it was already ten in the evening.
She carefully opened Sheryl's room and saw that Sheryl was already in bed. But the child did not have a sound sleep. She was still mumbling and calling out to her mother.
Charlotte sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted Sheryl on the back.
As she looked at Sheryl, she knitted her brows.
Although Sheryl was a girl, her eyebrows were thick and bushy, unlike Charlotte's.
By the looks of it, Sheryl must have gotten them from her biological father.
That night was a night Charlotte wished to forget. However, she had bumped into Elaine this afternoon.
This encounter had brought up all of the memories from that night.
Thinking about the past, Charlotte couldn't help but feel bitter.
Although she had mentally prepared herself before returning to the country, she was furious when she saw Elaine.
She couldn't stop feeling hateful towards the Emerson family!
There was also resentment towards herself. If Charlotte hadn't become friends with Elaine in the first place, she wouldn't have brought disaster upon herself, and she wouldn't need to leave her motherland for so many years.
"Drip... Drip..."
Tears landed on the quilt quietly.
"Mommy, why are you crying?" At this time, Sheryl suddenly woke up. She stared at Lottie drowsily.
Before Charlotte could wipe her tears away, Sheryl gave Charlotte a hug and kissed Charlotte's teary eyes.
Sheryl imitated the way Charlotte usually comforted her as she said in a serious manner, "Mommy is a good baby."
Charlotte couldn't help but burst into laughter.
