Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

— The mother and daughter, who hadn’t slept all night, were walking in the yard.

Despite the cold, they didn’t seem to feel it.

They weren’t talking about hate or resentment, just chatting about family matters.

In that moment, they were simply an ordinary mother and daughter.

After walking for a while, Clarissa said to her daughter, “Kathryn, let’s sit down.

I’m old, and I can’t walk any further.

“It’s almost dawn,” Clarissa observed, looking at the sky.

” Clarissa reached out to adjust Kathryn’s collar.
