CHAPTER 48 I Like Being with You Better

  LEAH'S POV

  I went to open the door and it turned out to be my sister Clara and Lana my daughter.

  "Clara, what are you guys doing here? I thought you guys plan to spend some time together?" I asked.

  "Well yeah, but Lana changed her mind that she wanted to come back home. That you would be lonely," Clara said.

  I was touched by my daughter's thoughtfulness, but also a bit concerned. I loved spending time with Lana, but I didn't want her to feel like she had to be with me all the time. 

  And besides her aunt wanted to spend some quality time with her. So I wanted her to enjoy her time with her aunt.

  "Thank you, sweetie, but you don't have to worry about me," I said, hugging Lana.

  "I'm happy for you to spend time with Auntie Clara. That's important,"

  Lana looked up at me with a pout. "But I want to be with you, Mommy," she said.

  "I know, sweetie, but you need time with other people too," I explained gently.
