"Carina, are you perhaps trying to be Penelope?" Emily's tone was rather mocking."Don't you think you are copying her too much? Persephone is her daughter, it seems you have forgotten."
Penelope. The name which was the cause of many people's horror.
Carina smiled kindly. "I don't need to become someone else to protect my children. And Emily, to become a mother, you don't have to biologically produce children. There are some relations which are far above that of blood ones but of course, you won't understand it."
Family always didn't mean the blood relations. Sometimes a stranger can become your family suddenly and sometimes even a person you have known for all your life is nothing but a stranger to you.
And no one knew this better than Carina.
Her husband fell in the second category.
"You…" Emily was rendered speechless.
Turning to Richard, Carina said,"I hope you will keep in mind the ties you have with our family."
