Perfect Stranger

"Louisa, darling, come here. This is the invitation letter from America. It's addressed to you." Nora called out to Louisa with a big smile on her face as she saw Louisa standing still at the staircase.

Louisa's eyes turned even brighter, as she trotted over to Nora and asked, "Really? Is it really my invitation letter?"

Louisa was utterly relieved to finally have her invitation letter in hand.

Having noticed Louisa's confusion, Nora pretended to be guilty and said, "It's all my fault. I forgot to tell the servant to check the mail before throwing them out. I didn't know it was sent to you. By the time I found it, the servant had already thrown it in the bin."

Without blinking her eyes, Nora passed all the blame towards the servant.

Louisa unfolded the invitation letter, but she didn't give it a second thought. She shook her head immediately and said, "It's okay. I've got it in my hands now, I'm still happy."

She raised the invitation letter above her head, as if she was cherishing a treasure.

Justina snorted enviously. Her eyes were full of contempt and hatred. But the next second, she smiled again and said, "Sister, I have some work to do at school. I have to go now. Why don't you and mother have lunch together?"

Louisa was stunned. It was the first time Justina had called her sister, let alone, out in the open.

"What is it? Don't you want me to call you sister?" Justina grinned.

"No, no, it's..." before Louisa finished her words, Justina cut her short. "Well, I'll go ahead. Call me if you have anything."

Then she walked out of the living room in a hurry, leaving no chance for Louisa to say anything else. In fact, it was because of her resentment towards Louisa that she didn't want to listen to her.

Even after Justina had left, Louisa was still immersed in her own happiness. She wondered if the sun had decided to rise from the west this morning as everything was going too smoothly in her life right now.

"Louisa, don't just stand there. Come here and have lunch." Nora smiled and called Louisa to the table.

Nora had prepared more dishes than she ever did on Louisa's birthdays which moved the girl even more and made her want to cry.

It was the first time in her eighteen years that she had felt a mother's love. Her mother had passed away right after she was born, and Nora was the only mother she had known.

Louisa remembered the times when Nora had been strict with her, but because her father had said that a loving mother would spoil a child, Louisa never hated Nora for it. She just hoped that Nora would take care of her from time to time.

All of a sudden, now happiness was everywhere in her life.
