Chapter 18

Grace's Point Of View,

"Oh, I see, then why you did not invite him home? That is bad manners girls", my mom said with narrow eyes and Anna just glared at me.

"No, mom I invited him but he said that he has some urgent work so he can not come this time, but he promised me that he will come back soon to meet me", Anna explained everything and made mom eat some ice cream. Mom took a bite and smiled at her softly.

"Grace, what happened baby? Why do you look upset baby", mom asked me and I just shook my head.

"Nothing mom, I just missed you so much", I said and hugged her and mom did not ask me anything. She just wrapped her arms around me and caressed my head. I am so blessed to have her in my life. And then the doorbell rang and I know it is dad. I felt a little nervous and anxious.

"It would be your dad", said mom. And I just pulled myself back. I know the atmosphere is gonna change for a while now.

Anna stopped eating ice cream and looked at me with sad eyes. I could see how nervous she was and somehow scared too. Anna came to me and hugged me. I will make sure that she will stay here.

"What if he does not accept me? Will you leave me again at the orphanage", she asked me. Tears build up in her crystal blue eyes and I quickly wiped her tears and shook my head.

"Hey, shut up okay, that is never gonna happen. You are now my sister and I will never be your side from now and do not worry, I know dad will be so happy to see you", I said and I was about to add more words but dad walked in and mom was following him behind, mom was looking calm.

Dad was on call, which means mom could not get a chance to talk to him. God, please. Dad talked on his call for some more minutes and then he put the phone into his pocket and looked at us.

"How are you honey", he asked me and I smiled and then he looked at Anna and passed a smile to her.

"Oh, we have a guest", he said and smiled at Anna and she also forced a smile too. She looked so damn nervous.

"She is so pretty, honey. Is she your friend", dad asked me. And I was just too nervous to talk to him but I just took a deep breath. I know I have to talk to him.

"Dad, she is", I was about to say but my mom cut me off, and thank god she did.

"We are adopting her too, honey. She is Anna", my mom said as she gave me an assured look and I just sighed. I know she will handle it so well.

"What", my dad said as he was so surprised to hear that. I know it was so sudden but I am kind of positive about it.

"Honey, she is such a lovely girl and she has no one other than us. We please adopt her as we did Grace", said mom as she was trying her best to convince dad and I kept looking at him with pleading eyes.

I was hoping that dad agrees with this, but dad was not saying anything and that made me scared.

He was looking at Anna and then at me, but it was hard to say what he was thinking. All I could do is pray right now.
