Chapter 19

Elijah finally understood what Selena was doing. He crouched in front of Louisa and said sincerely, "I owe you an apology. I got too caught up with work and didn't give you the attention you deserved. I'll make more time for you from now on." Upon hearing that, Louisa finally looked up at them. Her eyes were slightly red. She didn't say anything, but Selena knew the distance between them could start healing from this moment on. After Selena caused a scene at the school, Phoebe was removed as the homeroom teacher the very next day. The students who bullied Louisa were transferred one after another. Slowly, whenever Louisa talked about school, she showed a slight smile that Selena hadn't seen in a long time. Things at home had become unusually peaceful. Even Sebastian stopped skipping school. Selena thought she could finally enjoy a few peaceful days as a mother, but Cynthia suddenly called her into the kitchen. "What's going on?" Selena asked. Cynthia looked way too mysterious.
