Chapter 88 - what's that mark ?

Bella soon arrived at her house, she happened to enter the house just as her daughter was walking down the stairs.

"Alima, good morning" Bella called out as she held her daughter in her arms.

"Mommy, why didn't you sleep close to me?" the little girl asked as she rubbed her eyes.

"That's because you're grown; you need to sleep without Mommy," Bella explained patiently.

Alima looked at her mother with her big innocent eyes, still wondering when something else caught her attention. "Mommy, why are you wearing the same dress from last night ?"

Bella felt like she had been caught in the act of doing something bad and smiled awkwardly at the maid by the corner.

"Mommy went out," she replied and headed to the dining; she might've had breakfast, but her daughter would still be starving.

She sat beside her little girl as she watched her down her breakfast in one go.

"Slow down" she giggled, stopping the little girl.
