Catherine held a glass of red wine in a very standard posture. As she slowly sipped it, she said sincerely to Claire, "Claire, my husband died a few years ago. I've been living alone and don't have any other children. I'm getting old and want to return.
"My husband left me a rich inheritance to ensure I'm well provided for, but what I miss the most is the time when we lived together.
"For me, the Carter family is my only home.
"With Maria here, this is where I belong."
Catherine put down her glass and grabbed Claire's hand. "Claire, I want to move back to the Carter family and live with you."
"The house is so big. There will be a place for me, right?"
Claire was excited and happy to see her sister whom she had not seen for more than ten years. However, she could tell that Maria was very afraid of Catherine.
