"We are so proud of you Chloe." Chloe's mother said as she looked at her daughter with a soft gaze. Chloe felt exhausted after speaking with her friend Amara on the phone and also her grandparents. Unfortunately, Amara wasn't in town so she could not make it.
Chloe could tell her mother was being genuine with her praises. Even her father who still looked like he was angry at her, looked at her with pride and it made her happy.
"I just have one question..." Chloe said while looking at them with suspicion. "Did you have anything to do with my grade—"
"Of course not!" Her mother said immediately. "I swear we had nothing to do with it. Everything you got is what you deserved and I am happy we didn't try to mess with it. How would we have known you were such a smarty pant?"
