Mandy’s frown deepened as she was abruptly cut off. She glanced at Annette, whose stern expression suggested seriousness. Though Mandy felt a twinge of discomfort, she knew better than to cause a scene in front of others. Casting a final look at her foster daughter, she held her tongue and quickly exited the office.

Mirabella looked up at Annette, slightly sighing at the sight of Annette’s nurturing demeanor. She nodded obediently. “Yeah, thanks, Ms. Annette.”

“It’s no trouble at all. Remember, you can always talk to me if you’re facing any difficulties,” Annette said, her maternal instincts surging.

“If only I had a daughter as lovely as Mirabella to complement my son,” she thought, “it would be a dream come true.”

Mirabella simply smiled in response.

Glancing at her watch, Annette noted the time, “School’s almost out. You should head
