Chapter 122

  In the evening, Annette came to Zachary's home and saw his parents, William and Barbara. Everyone seemed a little excited.

  "Annette, look how pretty you are now," Barbara said while looking at her.

  Annette smiled shyly, "Barbara, you are still the same as I remembered."

  "We're getting old," Barbara said as she patted Annette's hand. "I heard from Zachary about what had happened to your mom. You were all by yourself these years, and we didn't help much."

  "Barbara, I'm no longer a child, and I can take good care of myself." Annette smiled in relief and continued, "Probably my mother knew that I had grown up, so she chose to leave."

  William and Zachary came out of the kitchen and said, "Annette, dinner is ready. Let's chat during the meal."

  Annette walked to the dining table and looked at the dishes on the table. She praised, "Wow! William, this is impressive."

  "Take a seat and try the food. See if my cooking skills have improved or not."
