After Aunts shared her thoughts, Angie and I went upstairs to get her ready for bed. I didn’t want her to stay up late; it wasn’t good for a child her age.

She freshened up and changed into clean pajamas before climbing into her bed.

"Mommy!" she called sweetly.

"Hmmmm," I responded softly while stroking her hair.

"Can you tell me a story, please? Any story!" she pleaded.

I quickly got myself ready and went to check on Angie, as I planned to take her with me to pick them up. When I reached her room, I opened the door right away."Baby, wake up!" I said, gently shaking her to rouse her. "We’re going to pick up Daddy Lo and Mommy La," I added.She blinked her eyes open, still a bit sleepy, and smiled at me."Hurry and get ready, okay?

Ms. Kim said as she placed a garland around them."Thank you so much," Mommy replied, and we proceeded to the designated area for the welcome party. Everything was going wonderfully. After the festivities, the staff quickly cleaned up. I told Ms. Kim that I would pay them in cash for their hard work, which made them very happy. There was plenty of leftover food, so I told them to handle it as they saw fit."If you want to take some home or share it with your colleagues, feel free," I said."Thank you, Ms. Suarez!" they replied gratefully.I nodded

As we walked, I noticed the wonder in their son's eyes as he took in his surroundings. Eventually, we reached a modest house, which I opened for them to enter. When I swung the door open, they were greeted by a cozy living room with a small sofa and unpacked groceries still waiting to be organized.I handed the key to Roland, and their son immediately asked, "Papa, are we going to live here?"

"He wants to ask for...," I paused, clearing my throat before continuing, "He wants to ask for my forgiveness, Dad! But I can’t give it to him right now. The pain is still fresh in my heart.
