Chapter 257: The Verdict
After dinner, Rory waited for some time to learn more about the situation. But there was no news. Liam looked tired and they went to bed.
In the morning, there still was no news and they finished breakfast. Liam had someone bring a change of clothes for them, so they had fresh clothes to wear for the court.
They had to wait for a long time. Rory regretted returning home. Ellie would be missing her parents. She couldn’t even eat lunch, but Liam forced her to eat something.
Rory was insisting on visiting home to meet Ellie as there was no decision reached by the jury even by lunchtime. But Liam insisted on them staying in the hotel as he didn’t want to miss anything.
She was annoyed with him for insisting. She didn’t want to listen to him anymore.
Just as Rory decided to get a cab, there was a knock on the door. Liam asked her to check who that was. Rory opened the door and was surprised to see Frank and Claire with the kids.
Rory hugged Ellie and she almost teared up feeling Ellie’s squeeze. Claire said that Ellie was a doll the whole time. But Rory could feel that Ellie had missed her.
And yet her little munchkin managed to not be a nuisance. Her Ellie is the most precious and brilliant baby in the whole universe. She didn’t think that she could love any other baby just as much as she loves Ellie.
Liam came to her and rubbed her back before getting Ellie from her embrace. "Don’t squeeze her too much," he kissed her cheek.
"You could have told me if they are joining us," Rory slapped his butt.
"Wanted to surprise my Cherrypie," Liam winked and walked to the living area with a wink.
"I hope you’re not tired. What do you want to order?" Rory asked as she got into hospitality mode.
