Chapter 475 - 485: Meeting Comrades-in-Arms
The next day, John Smith and Lisa Johnson left, and in the evening, Emily Berns, John Brown, and Sarah Grandy went together to pick up their daughter.
Emily Berns held Emily Brown in her arms and got into the car, seeing only James Brown and Sarah Grandy there, the little girl asked in a childish voice, "Foster Mother, why didn’t Dad and Mom come to pick me up?"
Emily Berns smiled and said, "Emily, your parents have some things to take care of and will be away for a few days. During this time, Foster Mother and Foster Father will take care of you, okay?"
"Oh... Where did they go?" the little girl asked again.
"Out for work. They have to go out to work to buy lots of delicious food and toys for you, Emily."
"Oh, alright, I’ll stay with Foster Mother then."
Although the little girl didn’t know Emily Berns was her biological mother, she was already quite familiar with Emily Berns. When Emily would come home, she would occasionally bring her daughter to stay with her overnight, so the girl felt completely at ease with Emily Berns.
John Brown let out a sigh of relief. He was really worried that if his daughter found out John Smith and Lisa Johnson were not around, she would cry and fuss, which would definitely be a headache for him.
Sarah Grandy, sitting in the front, turned around and said to Emily Brown, "Emily, how about I play with you these days?"
Emily immediately responded cheerfully, "Yes, yes!" Yesterday, Sarah took her out to play and they had a lot of fun. At home, John Smith and Lisa Johnson tended to treat her like a little princess, which made them very cautious and not as intimately connected as ordinary parents and daughters are. Although Sarah was eighteen, she was quite playful, able to hit it off with the little girl quite well.
"Emily, what would you like to eat tonight? Foster Father will take you out to eat," James also wanted to get closer to his daughter, so he asked with a smiling face.
