My Love, Enlighten me

Gloria ate very well this morning.

She didn’t care what Kenny Clarke said, but after Tina Clarke finished her meal and showed her the empty plate, Gloria Taylor had to finish the meal as well.

Her appetite had been good recently, but she still ate less than normal.

After breakfast, Kenny Clarke went to the company.

Gloria Taylor played with Tina Clarke.

Tina Clarke used to play with the maids at the starter house, but the maids had some scruples. They wouldn’t play with her as openly as Gloria Taylor.

Children needed companionship the most. Playing with her made it easy to get closer to her.

Moreover, Tina Clarke liked Gloria Taylor.

At noon, Kenny Clarke didn’t come back for lunch.

In the afternoon, when Tina Clarke had to take a nap, she asked Gloria Taylor to nap with her.

Gloria Taylor did as told.

Tina Clarke could sleep for a long time when someone accompanied her.

The little girl slept soundly. Gloria Taylor did too.

Until she heard the door creaked open, she suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.

She glanced at Tina Clarke who was lying beside her. She was still sleeping soundly in her arms. She looked up at the door.

This time, the sky had darkened down. The room was left with a dim light.

She frowned adapting to the light in the room and found that person standing by the door was Kenny Clarke.

He was wearing the elegant suit he wore this morning. It made him looked tall and slender.

Gloria Taylor stared at him for a little while and then, she turned out of the bed softly and took her phone on the bedside.
