Valeria was with her sister Mylene when their dad asked the question again.
"It will be fun, really. All of you, my lovely girls and grandkids starting afresh with me again. I would really love that." He said, and one could almost see the honesty that rested in his eyes.
Mylene looked at her sister, then back at their father. "I mean, we would certainly talk to you again, dad." Mylene said to their dad. "So by then you can be expecting your answer."
He stared at them then waited for Valeria's response. She gave a heavy nod and agreed with what her younger sister had just said.
"Mylene is right, we'll get back to you." She replied at last and it seemed to have calmed him a little while.
"Okay then, I'll await your response then." Their father said to them before he excused himself.
Valeria heaved in a heavy sigh as soon as her dad walked out of the room. Mylene saw her expression.
"Hey, are you okay?" She asked.
