Later that afternoon, Jade came to visit with Riley holding her. She was carrying a cute Hello Kitty backpack with several things inside like, baby powder, face towel, water bottle, snacks, coloring books, crayons, pencils and other stuff.

"Hi mommy. Hi daddy." Jade greeted them enthusiastically as she ran with her two small feet towards Jillyanna.

"Hello sweetheart. How have you been doing at home?" she asked her daughter while taking off the bag off her shoulders.

"I am good. Yesterday, Auntie Riley and Auntie Jackie brought me to a big big super big mall. They bought so many many things for me. I don't know if I could even use all of them." Jade narrated to her mother what recently happened to her. "And you know what mom, I found Uncle Shein funny. He told Auntie Riley this morning that he was digging dirt last night until dawn. Isn't he supposed to that during daytime?"

Travis who had been listening while doing his work couldn't help himself but cover his mouth to muffle his laughter. It was just hilarious! "Right, your Uncle Shein has a weird hobby." He stated with faint chuckle. "Don't mind him."

Jillyanna didn't know if he should feel sorry for Shein or if she should laugh at him, too. In the end, she could only smile and explain to the little girl. "Your Uncle Shein has a very weird job but he is really good. Don't think too much about it, 'kay? You will understand his work in the future."

"I don't really mind." Jade opened her bag and took out three pieces of chocolates. She gave one to Jillyanna and one to Travis. "We bought this yesterday and it tastes really good. I am sharing this with you. I gave some to Uncle Hawk already."

Travis gently pat the girl's head to compliment her. "Our little Jade is very generous. Thank you for this."

"You're welcome." she walked back to Jillyanna and took out her small notebook. "Look at this mom." She showed her a page full of her first name. "Auntie Riley taught me this morning."

"This morning?" Jillyanna was quite surprise. Base on her handwriting alone, she can see the rapid improvement of her penmanship.

Riley stood up and shared what she found. "You always find a treasure my big sister! Jade is very smart. I thought her the alphabet song and she memorized it after three times. Come on Jade, sing the alphabet song to your mother and father."

Jade drank a mouthful of water first and cleared her throat. "A, B, C, D, E, F..." she finished the whole song without making any mistakes. Her pronunciation was very clear, too.

"That was amazing!" Hawk was clapping his hands at the door. Jillyanna, Travis and Riley were doing the same. They were giving her a round of applause.

"You did a great job little princess. What else do you know?" Travis asked her from his work desk.

"I know how to count. 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5....100. I don't know what's next to 100." she humbly stated with a little pout on her lips.

"Our little princess is really smart. That is thanks to your real mother." Jillyanna would never take credit of something she doesn't own. It was still thanks to her real mother that she found a real treasure.

"Hn. My mother was really smart. She would always sing us to sleep. She can cook, do the laundry, wash the dishes - she can do a lot since my father left. I don't even remember my father. He never visited us even after my mother died."

"Speaking of your father," Jillyanna turned towards Travis before shifting her eyes back to the little girl. "If, I mean if, if your father comes back and wants to take you, will you go to your father?"

"No."

"What if your father owns a big house, has lots of money and can buy lots of things for you?"

"I won't go. You give me a big house with so many people. I have friends in the orphanage that I can visit when I am with you. Auntie Riley and Auntie Jackie bought me lots of things already. And I will have a baby brother soon. I won't go."

"But he is your REAL father." she gave emphasis to the word real to let her understand the weight of her biological parent.

Jade's eyes turned red and she was about to cry. "I don't want to go. I don't want to know if he is rich. I would only get angry at him. If he has a lot of money, why did he let my mother die? My mother had to work very hard just for us to survive day after day. If he has a lot of money, he should've at least sent my mother to the hospital! What kind of father is he? What kind of husband is he? I don't want a father like him?!" Her tears started rolling down her face as she spoke. "Mom, don't send me to him. I don't want another father."

Jillyanna hugged the child tightly in her arms. "Mommy won't send you to him. I was just asking for your opinion. I don't want to send you as well. Stop crying now."

"You won't really give me to him?" Jade experienced so many difficulties in life before finally ending up in the orphanage. Right now, she needed reassurance that she wouldn't be abandon again.

"Mommy and Daddy won't give you to someone else. We will all be sad if you go far away."

Seeing that Jillyanna was being honest to her, Jade finally stopped crying. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and smiled again.

"I am already happy with my new family."

"We are happy, too." Riley spoke and grabbed her for a warm hug. "We won't let you go our little princess."

Jade giggled in Riley's arms. She was certainly and genuinely happy with them. Although Jillyanna and Travis were in the same room, she still sent him a text to make sure that the little girl won't hear them.

"Do whatever you can to keep our baby." This was her message to him.

"Yes, my Queen."

Jillyanna chuckled at his response and threw him a smile.
