A FATEFUL CHANCE

CHAPTER 1: DEANDRA BURLINGTON

Deandra's POV

I entered the room and my sisters came rushing towards me. They all looked very excited as they showed their open palms at me.

“Did you have something for us, our dear sister?” Dina asked in a very polite manner.

“You’re all adorable! How can this older sister resist all your cute, little charms?” I can’t help but to giggle after they showed me their pleading eyes.

"Yeah, of course. How can I forget all of my sweet little darlings?" I entered the house and I put all the food that I bought after working for many hours. I can't help but be happy because her smile took all my tiredness away. She smiled from ear to ear as soon as she saw me.

“You’re all too adorable for me to forget. You deserve all of these foods.” She smiled as she put all the foods on the table for them to clearly see.

"Yippiee! Thank you sister! I love you!" She hugged both of my feet. She's still very young but she's very sweet.

"Where's mom?"

"She's in the room already."

"Where's Dee and Dina?"

"They are in their rooms too, sis."

"Thank you so much for the information my cute Dahlia." I even pinched her cheek as she smiled sweetly. When I let her cheek go, I noticed that she massaged it while getting the fried chicken from the paper bag I bought a while ago.

I slowly entered mom's room and I can see her massaging her head. There's still a towel wrapped around her wet hair, obviously she took a bath just now. She's closing her eyes but when she felt my presence, she opened her eyes right away.

I can see her eyes glistened as soon as she saw me coming towards her.
