Chapter 16 At My Husband's Friends' House

• After having the luggage ready at the entrance of the house, the driver placed it in the trunk of the car, opening the door for Mark, my little one, and me to get in and leave the house. The road to Alice's house was long, but when we arrived and the driver opened the car door, Mark got out first and my daughter followed with a little jump, running into the house to see Alice already waiting for her with open arms. Cintia gave her aunt a warm hug, and then two loud kisses on my little one's precious face.
• "Look, Aunt Alice, Tofia came with us, she's my dad's girlfriend and she's very pretty. I like her a lot. Do you know why, Aunt Alice? Because she's going to be my mom," little Cintia said, turning her head to look at me, making me feel emotional as always.
• Mark was waiting for me in the car, then he put his hand on the small of my back and guided me to the porch of the house, where Alice and my little one were, and suddenly an older man with gray hair appeared.
