Chapter 461
“Yeah. Tara must have sent her away from the city. What are we going to do now, Sylvia?” Sherry
asked.
“Wait. We wait for her to show up,” Sylvia said as she narrowed her eyes.
Two weeks went by.
It was a Saturday and Tara arrived at the Carters’ residence early in the morning.
Odell was not home but Isabel and Liam were.
Like always, Tara went to the living room as soon as she arrived, but Aunt Tonya stopped her at the
entrance. She smiled and said to Aunt Tonya, “Aunt Tonya, I’m here to see Isabel and Liam, and also
Grandmother. Please move aside.”
Aunt Tonya bellowed, “Tara, you are not welcome here. Get out of this house immediately! ”
Tara had a glance into the living room and wanted to go in.Although Aunt Tonya stopped her again, she
forced herself through and even tried to push Aunt Tonya away.Feeling irritated, Aunt Tonya pushed
back. She barely used any strength as she just wanted to stop Tara from going in.To her surprise, Tara
faltered and fell down to the ground.Tara’s eyes got teary as she wore a wronged look. She cried, “Aunt
Tonya, I don’t mean anything. I’m just here to see Isabel and Liam. They lost their mother at such a
young age, and it’s important that they receive the love and care from a mother figure.”Aunt Tonya
frowned. She pointed at Tara and continued, “Shut your mouth!”Isabel and Liam were in the living
room, and until now, Aunt Tonya had not told them about what had happened to Sylvia. She could not
let the two of them hear what Tara said. Tara cried louder and even raised her voice, “Aunt Tonya, I
know there’s some misunderstanding between us, and I admit there was some conflict between Sylvia
and me in the past, but Sylvia is dead. I just want to care for the kids. If the two of them can grow up
healthy, Sylvia will be happy.”
“You…” Aunt Tonya choked on her anger.Tara seemingly wanted to continue causing a scene that wore
her patience thin. She approached Tara and wanted to drag the woman away, but at this point, she
noticed the two little ones standing by the door behind her.Isabel and Liam were looking at them with
widened eyes.Aunt Tonya was shocked.Isabel’s eyes became teary, and even Liam furrowed his
brows.“Aunt Tonya, is it true? Is Mommy dead?”
Aunt Tonya got nervous. She could not bear seeing the two little ones cry, but Sylvia was indeed gone
and the lie could not continue forever.The two of them took Aunt Tonya’s silence as an affirmative
answer.Isabel pouted and broke down in tears while Liam furrowed his brows tightly and wore a
sorrowful look.Aunt Tonya did not have the time or mood to care about Tara anymore. She immediately
went to the two little ones and hugged them tightly.As Isabel cried a river, Liam hugged his sister and
consoled her quietly.Aunt Tonya was at a loss of action, so all she could do was sigh helplessly.Tara
then got up on her feet.The tears and snot on Isabel’s features put a grin on her face. She went closer
to them and feigned a worried expression. “Isabel, Liam, I know your Mommy is not here anymore, but
I’ll take care of you two for her.”
