Chapter 308

Just then, Marian, who had just finished a meeting and was heading downstairs for lunch with a friend, was tickled by Theresa's child-like logic.

Stepping out of the elevator, she was instantly drawn to the little girl perched on the sofa. Overhearing their conversation and struck by Theresa's earnest, forlorn look, she couldn't help but chuckle and play along, “Exactly, sitting isn't playing.”

Marian, taken aback by her reaction, realized just how much the bag meant to Theresa.

Marian was surprised: "Really? Kiddo, aren't you just the cutest?"

She couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Theresa's cheek.

Theresa was tickled by her exaggerated expressions and actions that she managed a stiff smile.
