Once the car was gone, Alexa looked down at Rachael in her arms.
Rachael got too attached to Raymond in one day and it was weird. That was how much she liked him and she even went as far as saying she wished he was her father. What sort of bond was that?
Or was it because she was incapable of showering her enough love? Was that why she was looking for a father? And from a person she just met too.
It made her feel incompetent.
"Am I a bad mother?" She muttered.
"What was that, mummy?"
"No, it's nothing." Alexa said and smiled. "I just wanted to know what you would like for dinner."
"Let's have pancakes."
"No honey, we can have pancakes tomorrow morning, not tonight." Alexa said as she started heading for the car.
"Hm, then you choose mummy. Surprise me." Rachael said, smiling brightly and Alexa stared at her innocent face.
