Chapter 33: Adopt me...

"I know, these all fit to you. I can't wait till you wear these, you'll sure be more beautiful!" she said in each spaces of her laughs.

I just nod. I didn't speak any word every time she blurt how beautiful I am. 

I don't know. It feels like an indirect thought that she thinks of me being her daughter. That she sees more of Trisha in me.

However, I can say that I'm improving. I'm finally welcoming her thoughts. And I must say, I remember Mom at her.

Hmm? Well, I guess... it's just fair, then, huh?

She sees Trisha in me. And I see Mom at her.

Good way of responding to each others' bereavement.

"Should we be envious?" Sir Magno blurted as he saw us entering the whole of the house. He's reading a newspaper magazine while sitting on the large couch.

"You got home early?" Mrs. Madelline's separated answer.

He went up and gives a peck on her lips. "The meeting got short. There's nothing really to discuss so I decided to go home right after. I want to have a nice lunch..." that's when he winked at her.

She nods at his concern and directed herself to the kitchen. I followed them afterwards.

"So, how is it like being a shopping buddy, Riley?" he asked as he sat comfortably on one of the dining chairs. He's helping her take out each item we just bought.

I looked at Mrs. Madelline who smiles at me, warmly. I answered him, afterwards. "It's... nice. A kind of tiring, I must say..." 

Then they both laughed.

"By the way, Riley, why don't you fit all the clothes we bought, and see if we can return some that doesn't equate your size." Mrs. Madelline soon declared.

"You bought her clothes?" Sir Magno asked in a funny tone. "Well, I hope it doesn't ruin your style, Riley. You know... Madelline can be somehow..." 

I felt the staring gaze of Mrs. Madelline and I think he felt that too. 

"... magnificent!" then, he smiles. "Am I right, Riley?"

I shrugged my shoulders as I smiled at his MAGNIFICENT sarcastic tone.

"Whatever, Magno! You don't know anything about fashion... so stop being like a pro!" she larger her eyes at him. "Go, Riley... You can go down as soon as you finish." she switched look at me and give me an 'it's okay' smile.
