But a child's heart was extremely sensitive.
That time, Emmeline was aware that she was the fifth wheel in this world.
Not only didn't she have a biological father, but her biological mother could not take care of her as well. Just like duckweed, she was lost in direction and had nowhere to return.
Now, finally, there was a person who was willing to take her in, buy her good-looking new clothes, and teach her. So, she wanted to grab hold of this opportunity and never let it go.
At the end of the day, no matter how smart she was, she was only a child without a sense of security.
