Bella looked a little confused but nodded as if she understood Are you sick It s okay Everything will get better I ll give you a lollipop
She pulled out a brightly colored lollipop and held it out to Angela
Angela froze Noone had ever given her a lollipop before
In her younger days she was trained by her wealthy family in refined manners and raised to marry well and focus on family duties Noone ever handed her a sugary treat like that She had never touched something so full of artificial colors and chemicals
Angela stiffened unsure of how to react
Bella gently placed the lollipop in her hand Here try it It s really sweet

Just then Wendy approached
“Bella.”
Angela looked up and saw Wendy Her body tensed Wendy Is this your daughter
Wendy hadn t expected Bellator un over to Angela so quickly while she was on a phone call
It had been three years since Wendy last saw Angela The last time they met was during their difficult
conversation.
