Tanya's expression immediately darkened.

Rebecca looked burt but still said in a soft voice, trying to soothe Tanya, "Mom, don't be get. Maddie smuely doesari muran 11. How about i out now?"

"No need. I'll wait and see just how long it takes her to show up when hewnother and sister are here," Tanya sald, crossing her arms.. Rebecca stood up and let her gaze wander over the furniture and decor of the living 100mm.
