" She's your aunt's child " Emily replied sullenly and everyone went silent same as their mood.
" What! " everyone echoed and Caleb nodded in conclusion.
" That wicked aunt has a child! " Simon yelled angrily and kicked around, Mr. Adams face was even worse like it would drop ink. " How ?" he asked sternly and Caleb shrugged showing they didn't know how, trying to break the tense atmosphere, Emily said sadly" we've been through a long journey, from the delivery room to the hospital and then to the house, I'm tired and hungry, the food at the hospital taste worse than the sweet one at home !" , everyone burst into laughter at her sad words, and she pouts her lips in response. " Hey, go get my daughter some food to eat" .
" Mom, can I hold Lily ? " Jacob asked excitedly. " Not yet, you can hold her after lunch, okay!"
" What about me ?" - Simon
" And me ?"- Zack
" Me!, mom! , me too !" - Raphael
" Hahaha 😂, okay ! , okay! , you'll all carry her okay" Emily said as she smiled .she wouldn't lie, but it's been a long time she had smile and her family being peaceful and harmonious like this before.

* after lunch *
IN THE STUDY.
" So what are we going to do with the child?" Mr Adam asked staring at the two couples. They stared at each other for a while and Emily replied "I plan on taking her to the orphanage cause that's the best place for her, besides, what if she grows up to be just like her mother !" . Just as she finished speaking, Caleb cleared his throat loudly and said" maybe we should let her stay after all she just a kid who does not know anything, she's innocent in my own point of view!" Emily silently glanced at her husband to show her disapproval of the idea, but all they got was a silence on Mr. Adams side as he seemed to be thinking of something.
After what felt like half an hour, he sighed and said" we shouldn't take her to the orphanage, let her stay with your mother Caleb" the latter sentence was directed at Caleb who hesitated but nodded and said "okay ". "Okay, since that's settled, you guys should go get some rest".
The two stood up and left the study, entering their room, Emily finally expressed her feelings. " You know what Emilie has done to us and this family, so why do you care so much about her child" Caleb tried talking, but she interrupted him again " I know, the child is innocent, so what !! , a child of a fox is a fox simple Caleb, do you think her child would be any different from her, don't get any stupid illusions" Caleb sighed and replied "okay, what ever you say, okay, just get some rest, everything have been settled down, she'll stay with my mother for a while"
"What do you mean by a while" Emily interjected sharply and sighed sadly " Emily don't be like this okay ! , let's see if she does act like her mother, you can do what ever you want with her, scold her, punish her, it's all in your hands, but she'll stay here after a 'while' okay!" Caleb replied and Emily nodded angrily and went to the other room to meet Lily and just seeing the little baby made her a little at ease.
The incident of Emilie death was too unbelievable, Emilie was a scheming woman who never gave up no matter what, so why did she suddenly commit suicide, they didn't believe it at first but, seeing her dead body and the blood test proving that it was real and true, Emily felt Emilie wouldn't die without trying to destroy her.
' I have this feeling that Emilie have something up her sleeve before she died ' she sighed inwardly.
