"Diamond, am I too young to help my Mommy?" Mackie asked. "
"Oh, no, dear, you're not too young to help your Mommy, but…." Diamond stopped midway. She wanted to comfort Mackie and assure her that her Mommy loved her so much and wanted her to help.
But did she?
Did Chloe actually want her daughter to help? Knowing her protective and coddling nature, Chloe would never want Mackie to help with anything.
In fact, the first thing that came to Diamond's mind was Chloe, who would try her best to hide her problem from Mackie.
And to some extent, Diamond also agreed with her. Mackie didn't need to know about the difficult thing that Chloe went through because it could actually damage Mackie's mental health.
But at the same time, she also understood Mackie's frustration. She might feel that her Mommy hid too many things from her.
"But why, Diamond?" Mackie asked curiously. "Why can't I help Mommy?"
