Chapter 52
On the night when Emily passed away, she brought back little
little Mariela who had fallen in the snow
After Emily left, Deandre became depressed for a long time and had no time to take care of his daughter. When Mariela had a high fever, Jamya took care of her at the hospital almost without sleeping.
Due to the excessive grief over her mother’s passing, Mariela lost her appetite and couldn’t think of anything other than her sorrow. It was Jamya who stayed with her, comforted her, and patiently persuaded her to eat.
If it weren’t for Jamya, Mariela probably wouldn’t have made it through
In Mariela’s hean, Jamya was also her own family.
In the past three years, Mariela had never contacted Deandre. But she would still call Jamya to greet her on holidays.
Thinking of something. Mariela took out a gift box and handed it to Jamya.“This is the most famous specialty from Los Angeles. You can have a try,”
Jamya smiled. I will make some for you tonight.”
“No.” Mariela shook her head. “I specifically bought this for you. I have eaten it many times before, so I just want you to have a try.”
“This… I can’t accept this.” Jamya quickly waved her hand to refuse.
Mariela stuffed the gift box into Jamya’s arms and said, “Please accept it. You have been worrying about me for many years. This is a small token of my appreciation.”
Jamya teared up and said, “Ms…”
“Marie! Marie, you’re back!” A dear and tender voice rang out. As soon as the words fell, a little girl rushed over and hugged Mariela tightly. “I miss you so much. You finally came back!” The little girl hugged Mariela’s thigh and looked up at her with bright eyes and a face full of joy.
The girl was Mariela’s half–sister, Angelica Logan She was eight years old this year.

Angelica
Mariela didn’t like Angelica’s mother, so she wasn’t fond of Angelica, either.
Mariela had been

But a child was innocent. Besides, Angelica was pure and lovely. She just wanted to be close to her sister. Even though Mariela didn’t like Angelica, she didn’t hate her either.
Mariela lowered her gaze and looked at Angelica.“Did you finish school so early?”
“Angel heard from Jamya that you came back. She couldn’t wait to go home and see you, so we came back early.” Haleigh Hensley walked over with a beaming smile.
Mariela’s face stiffened slightly.
Before she ran away from home, she had written her disgust of Haleigh all over her face. Mariela hardly exchanged words with her stepmother. Mariela hated Haleigh not only because Deandre betrayed Emily and married Haleigh. It was also because Haleigh was Emily’s best friend
