CHAPTER 142
"Thanks. I would ensure to be back before you know it. I promise."
"Take your time," Eleora advised. "You cannot babysit me forever. Besides, I can take care of myself. I do not need a babysitter."
Although she knew her words hurt Era to some extent, she smiled notwithstanding.
It was her way of telling Era that she was all grown up now. "Now get going. Thank goodness you are already dressed. It would be great for you to go have fun and not be cooked in here with an eight-year-old."
"It's never boring being with you, Ora. Never you think that way or you would hurt me further."
"I know. I want you to go. Do not forget your goals because of me. You have your life, live it, big sis."
"Thanks, little matured one." She looked up at Aeverie and smiled. "Well, the little princess has said it all. I would go but please keep her company till I return."
