Since Claudine left last time, Darlene hadn't seen her again . Although the servants all said Claudine wouldn't be angry with her , she had promised her father she would apologize to Claudine . Her small hands twisted together , eyes lowered to her toes , and after a long moment , she finally said , " I'm sorry ! " Claudine did not pick her up as she used to . She got out of the car , bent down to meet Darlene's gaze , her tone gentle but firm . " Sorry for what ? " The little one bit her lip , unable to get the words out . Tears welled up in her eyes , making her look truly pitiful . This was Darlene's usual trick . In the past , whenever she made a mistake , as long as she put on this aggrieved look , Claudine couldn't bear to stay an- gry with her . But today , Claudine did not do so . Darlene felt even more wronged . She wanted to throw a tantrum , but was afraid Claudine would leave again and never come back . Claudine hadn't played with her for a very long time… " I … " Darlene sobbed , tears streaming down her face . Seeing Claudine still silent , Darlene couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears . Claudine sighed . She knew Darlene was a bit spoiled , and it was her own fault for indulging her too much . She could ask Damian for a divorce and was ready to draw a clear line with him . But when it came to Darlene … 0.0 % 08:53 chapter30 288 Nouchers This was a child she had raised as her own daughter , and her feelings for her were no different from those for a bio- logical child . After the divorce from Damian , she probably wouldn't have many chances to see this child again . She couldn't help but feel reluctant to part … When Darlene saw Claudine's eyes turn red , she simply assumed that Claudine was no longer angry . The little one threw herself into Claudine's arms , wrapped her arms around Claudine's neck , and spoke . " I missed you so much … " The little darling in her arms still carried the scent of milk , her soft and sweet voice making Claudine's heart ache . She made up her mind that before officially divorcing Damian , she would take care of Darla as much as possible . However , she would no longer indulge the child in everything as she had before . She loved Darla , but she would never again wrong herself as she once did . " Darla , Auntie missed you very much too ! " Claudine looked into Darlene's eyes and spoke each word clearly . " But what happened last time really made Auntie very sad . You can't be so willful again in the future , do you under- stand ? " Darlene nodded while hugging Claudine's neck . " Then can you make me a bunny - shaped sandwich ? You haven't made one for me in such a long time … " Claudine patted the little one's head and picked up Darla , heading into the house . Since Damian wasn't back yet , she could take this time to be with Darla . The servants at Belmont Estates , seeing Claudine return , all thought she was reconciling with Mr. Barrette . When Claudine was around before , they hadn't thought much of it . It was only during these days when Mrs. Barrette was absent that they realized how much the house needed its mis- tress . Now , seeing Claudine back , the servants treated her much better than before . They called her Mrs. Barrette at every turn , all hoping this would be the last time she left home . Claudine brought Darla to the kitchen . " Wait here for a bit , Auntie will make you something to eat . " Darla nodded , hugging her bunny plush and waiting to the side . 33.0 % 08:53 chapter30 288 vouche Before long , Claudine had finished making curry , and the whole kitchen was filled with its aroma . She patiently shaped the rice into a little bunny , and carefully used ketchup to draw a pink bow on the bunny's ear . A lifelike little bunny appeared on the plate . Claudine poured the cooked coconut curry over the rice . " Darla , come eat now ." Hearing this , the little girl immediately hugged her bunny and sat down at the dining table . " Wow , it's really a little bunny ! " Claudine handed a spoon to Darla , placing it in her hand . " Go ahead and eat ! " It had been a long time since Darla had eaten Claudine's cooking , and her appetite was great . She didn't need a servant to coax or feed her ; she held her little spoon and ate with relish . Seeing the little one eat so heartily , Claudine felt happy inside . She took a napkin and wiped the rice from the corner of Darla's mouth . " Eat slowly , there's no rush . " Darla's mouth was stuffed full , so her words came out a bit unclear .
