"Really? Daddy said he would come back today, but he hasn't come back yet." Cora pouted, her little eyes carrying a hint of sadness.
Rachel comforted her in a soft and gentle voice. "Daddy will come back. He's just on his way. You should go to sleep now, and tomorrow you'll wake up as a beautiful Cora when Daddy comes back."
"Okay." Cora closed her eyes and quickly drifted off, clinging to the hope of looking pretty for Daddy when he returned.
Rachel looked at Cora, her fair and chubby face, delicate features, and rosy lips.
Even in her sleep, her tiny eyebrows were furrowed. Rachel gently stroked her forehead, easing away the tension.
She sat quietly at the end of the bed for a while, wishing Kellan would return tonight so that Cora could see him in the morning.
Yet her heart was filled with tangled thoughts. Two voices inside her mind clashed fiercely.
One Rachel told her that Kellan had saved her and Cora, so it was only natural to repay him by being his woman.
