Chapter 36 End of the Party (2/2)

”Aunty Anna!!!” Lia stressed out her answer loudly.

Anna couldn't let go of this little doll as she kept hugging Lia. Jake took the opportunity to take a picture of Anna with Lia and a selfie with all of them together. Finally, after a long tight hug, Lia said them goodnight.

After she left Anna asked her husband about the secret that the little girl and Jake had shared. But, Jake laughed out. He stood up to get something to drink; leaving Anna alone again. Besides, Anna was occupied with a few other guests immediately after dinner and didn't leave her alone. The only time she got private space was when Jake stole her from the others; everyone felt jealous of these two. Jake brought her to the kitchen and finally made her relax.

On the other hand, Lia went back to her grandparents and kissed them goodbye. Before leaving to her room, Lia thanked once again for her present and then rushed off to brushing. Giselle excused herself for a minute and went to Lia's room. Lia was back already; changing into her nightwear. Giselle tucked her nice and warm inside the blanket and then kissed her goodnight.

When she returned back Eric and Melanie were already preparing to leave.

”Mom, dad stay for few more minutes!!!” Giselle grunted.

”We wish honey, but it's getting late. Plus, it already gets super cold right now. Don't worry.” Eric replied.

”We really want to talk to you, but, another time. Okay? I don't want to rush things just like back then. We don't have the strength to lose you again Giselle. So, come back again when you're free and ready to talk about your past life. We will listen to you. Also, bring Lia often okay?” Melanie requested.

Giselle accepted and told them that soon she would meet and share about what happened so far.

For the parents, it was seeing their daughter after so many years itself was a huge surprise. In between the dinner, Giselle revealed that she's a single mom now and got divorced. Melanie and Eric's faces turned pale hearing the news but they didn't want to stress it out. So, the only answer is to wait until Giselle, herself is ready to openly talk about it.

With that said, both of them left the party. When she returned there was only one couple who's left, Anna and Jake. Both of them were in the kitchen waiting to meet Giselle. Especially, Anna.
