Her Precious Baby

The policewoman opened the door and said coldly, “All right, enough with the chit-chat. Her mommy is here to pick her up.”

Floretta spun around in joy when she heard Angeline was there. However, the smile on her face was soon replaced by a frown when she recalled something.

She looked the other way as though she were angry with Angeline.

Angeline went pale when she saw Floretta’s response. For a moment there, she didn’t know what to say to her.

Although reluctant, the police officers had no choice but to return to their desks.

Just like that, Angeline and Floretta were the only ones left in the office. The atmosphere grew increasingly awkward as neither of them said a single word.

Eventually, Angeline walked up to Floretta and wiped the bread crumbs off her mouth as she said, “Why did you run away from home?”

Floretta’s eyes reddened the moment she heard that, but she kept her tears in as she replied with a pout, “That’s none of your business! You don’t want me anymore, so why do you even ask?”

Angeline let out a chuckle when she saw Floretta’s cheeks puff up with anger. “If it’s none of my business, then why did you have the police give me a call?”

Floretta got all flustered when she realized her secret had been exposed.

“I-I didn’t…”

“It’s okay. I understand.”

Angeline gently patted her on the head. It pained her to see how skinny Floretta had gotten during her absence.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been so busy lately that I just didn’t have the time to come visit you. It’s my fault for not contacting you.”
