Chapter 73
- “Wow... All this food looks so delicious,” Rakia said as she looked hungrily at everything on her mother’s table. She even licked her lips a little with the tip of her tongue. She was starving now and wanted to fill her stomach very much. Rakia sat in one of the chairs across from Pedro, who sat in the head of the family chair. In contrast, Dashtan sat in the chair beside her, and Adeline sat across from her daughter.
- “Happy birthday, sweetie; I don’t think we’ve celebrated anything for a long time.” Adeline was visibly moved, her eyes filled with tears. Rakia, who was spooning food, turned her attention to the woman momentarily, putting on a playful pout to amuse her mother, who finally laughed while wiping away the tears that had escaped her eyes.
- “Ooo... Come on, Mom, don’t cry; I’ll cry too,” Rakia pleaded, knowing that if she let her mother get lost in her emotions, she might also cry. Fortunately, the food on the table was a good distraction. Dashtan was surprised to see his wife eating more than usual. Meanwhile, Adeline was not too surprised by her daughter’s eating habits.
