"I miss Mommy so much, I want to find her..."
Tuantuan spoke haltingly, her feet dangling in the air, her tiptoes tapping away in the air, "Daddy was afraid of disturbing Mommy, so he wanted to finish up the work here early and that's how the bad guys found us."
Nan Jiaojiao's heart stirred, and something inside her collapsed into a mess.
She didn't reject Tuantuan's use of "Mommy" because when the little girl was one year old, she did indeed call her Mommy. If it hadn't been for Yeh Hannian intervening, she might have gone against her mission and taken Tuantuan in.
As someone not good at comforting others, Nan Jiaojiao had held Tuantuan on those nights when the child repeatedly had nightmares, singing all the nursery rhymes she knew to her.
"Do you often live like this with your Daddy?"
"Hmm?" Tuantuan thought for a moment, "No, when we were in Mingzhou, Tuantuan only needed a driver to go to school every day."
