"Are you talking about Daddy?" Cora asked, looking at Mommy's surprised and serious face.
"Yes," Rachel nodded lightly.
Cora looked at Mommy's solemn and pale face and immediately understood what was going on.
"Mommy, please try to accept Daddy. I really like Daddy, and he's good to me too," Cora pleaded, her round grape-like eyes full of hope.
Her soft voice carried a faint hint of crying, making people's hearts ache.
Rachel looked down at her, eyes filled with tenderness.
There seemed to be a faint shimmer in Cora's eyes, like she'd start crying if Rachel said no.
Rachel didn't know what to do. Cora was always obedient with everything else, but when it came to this, she was so insistent.
Rachel didn't want to see her this sad, but she was also scared Cora might be even more heartbroken in the future.
