Josie looked up, a bit surprised. “I’m actually amazed that you’re willing to give me the dog, considering the significant conflict between your daughter and me. Aren’t you afraid she’ll cause trouble when she finds out?”

It was the end of autumn, with sunlight pouring down and a cool breeze blowing through, gently lifting Josie’s hair. Claudia looked at her as if she were looking at an old friend.

After a moment, Claudia turned to Josie and said, “There aren’t many people in this world who truly understand me. You are one of them. I don’t want to second-guess or doubt such people. I trust my own judgment.”

Josie was taken aback for a moment, then realized that this was an affirmation—an affirmation from her own mother.

Her voice choked up for a moment, but she quickly spoke again, “If there comes a day when I do something you can’t understand, something that disappoints you, what would you do? Would you hate me?”

Upon hearing these words, Claudia’s lips parted slightly, and after a long moment, she sighed. “Perhaps you have your reasons too.”

From Claudia’s perspective, Josie’s life had been too harsh. Her daughter had brought an end to her marriage with Dexter, and now she had no choice but to watch him remarry.

She felt guilty towards Josie.
