It wasn't until today that Christopher Robinson's affirming words of "you are" brought some peace to Kallie Rayno's heart.
Moving his gaze from his teacup, Christopher looked at Kallie and spoke in a junior's tone, "In Amelia's heart, you are still her mother. She just happens to be in a challenging period in her life right now. Let's give her more time."
"If you knew Evelyn Cobb, you'd understand that to her, you've now become her responsibility."
Amelia never thought about abandoning Kallie. Never.
Despite her resentment towards the current situation, she still placed Kallie in the column of responsibilities one must bear in life.
That evening, Christopher didn't dine with Amelia. As Kallie sat with Amelia in her study for dinner, two cats squatted by her feet, their large eyes blinking greedily.
The two chatted about the recent happenings in the Capital.
When it came to William Cobb and Jaso Cobb, they deliberately avoided the topic.
