The Epic Blind Date with My Boss (Josie and Dexter)

Marie heaved a sigh after seeing that and did not say anything either.

In the meantime, Caroline glanced at Britney before looking at Holland and Marie as she kept quiet and continued to drink her juice. However, the elderly couple was surprised by her reaction.

I think I should be more lenient with her.” After a brief pause, she continued, “Mommy would definitely want me to do that.”

She did not speak up earlier because of her mother. Marie mused as she gently stroked Caroline’s hand and remarked, “Oh, how can a child be so mature?”
