Chapter 374

"Your daughter?" Marian's voice suddenly shot up, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Brandon and then at Theresa.

Theresa, startled by her reaction, gaped at her, completely clueless. Brandon, on the other hand, was chill as a cucumber.

"Is there a problem?" He asked.

Marian quickly shook her head, still reeling from the shock and a whirlwind of emotions.

Feeling ignored, Theresa couldn't help but tug gently at Marian's sleeve and asked with a puzzled look, "Miss, did you ever come across my mom's drawing afterward?"

Brandon turned his gaze to Theresa, "What drawing?"

"The one that got lost, my mom's drawing." Theresa tried to explain, even making

a circle in the air with her hands, "She was playing with me that day."

Brandon looked at Marian.

Marian had regained her composure and smiled at her, "I didn't see it. I left before you; you don't remember?"

Theresa shook her head, "I remember."

Marian did leave before her. With that thought, the glimmer of hope on her face dimmed once again.

Worried that Brandon might get suspicious, Marian quickly added with a smile to Brandon, "I was just coming downstairs when I saw her sitting in the lobby, playing so adorably. I couldn't resist playing with her for a bit. Just then Mr. Daniel Crawley came down, and I was afraid he'd catch me slacking off, so I hurried off."
