In the evening, it rained heavily outside the window. The shoddy rental house was in danger of being blown down by wind. and rain. The door was wide open, as Xayah was coming back.

When Violet was ten years old, she was lovely with long black soft hair. She was deeper and calmer than her peers. It took Violet two hours to prepare a table of meals. Although there was no meat on the plate, Violet cooked with love. She learned how to cook when she was six years old.

Violet was a little introverted and rarely smiled as a child, but she was very beautiful.

Standing at the door, Violet looked out at the heavy rain and dark night sky, waiting for her mom Xayah to get back home. from work.

However, even after the passage of thirty minutes, Xayah had yet to make her return.

After entering the door, Xayah took Violet in her arms!
