Chapter 1265
hy had always been a cute little girl,
She’s used to the praise, but this was her first time being complimented in such a way
“Thanks” she replied sweetly. “You’re pretty too
Strictly speaking, Molly has never really hung out with kids her age.
As far as she can remember, she’s always been on the run, or on the way to it.
She’s had a taste of the nomial life.
But there, she’s only met some old folks, and a bunch of boozen, no kids.
“Molly will be going to school here too Rosalynn gently told Ivy, “Look out for her, will ya?”
“No problem!” Ivy patted her chest confidently.
Molly just looked at her, not saying a word
Seeing this. Rosalynn didn’t push them to interact

In the past, Ivy’s pencils were always sharpened by Calvin or Laura and she’d take them to school.
But recently, Ivy felt that wasn’t right.
She wanted to do her own thing, so she started sharpening her own pencils.
But now, her tiny hands were always smudged with pencil lead.
Rosalynn took out a wet wipe and gently cleaned her hands, “What were you talking to Liam about?”
“I wanted Liam to come over to my house, but he said he was busy Ivy sighed, “Mom, is Liam poor? I heard the
principal say he’s tutoring instead of studying properly. But isn’t tutoring a grown-up’s job?”
“Not necessanly” Rosalynn stroked her face, “Anyone who’s really good can tutor
Ivy nodded, not quite understanding.
“Mom, can Liam tutor me?” her eyes lit up. Then he can come to our house and make some money!”
Rosalynn laughed, “Liam is strict, aren’t you scared?”
by puffed out her chest confidently, Tm not some scaredy-cat if i do well, he won’t be mean to me!”
Molly, standing behind Rosalynn, tilted her head, watching the scene unfold as if observing a curious creature
She overheard Mike and her dad say that they didn’t raise her like a regular girl.
So, is a regular girl supposed to be like vy?
She couldn’t quite put it into words.
Maybe it’s like sunshine, a warm lake, a spring breeze.
Suddenly, Molly felt a sense of defeat.
She felt more like an iceberg beneath the calm sea, a dark abyss where the light doesn’t reach, a wind carrying the
scent of blood.
“What are you thinking about?”
Rosalynn’s voice broke Molly’s train of thought
She looked up.
Seeing Rosalynn’s smiling eyes, she pursed her lips, “Can I go home? I miss dad.”
“Of course you can.” Rosalynn nodded.

“Mom, I think she is upset,” Ivy whispered, holding Rosalynn’s hand.
“That’s not it Rosalynn answered after a moment’s thought, “Molly just has some things she’s still figuring out”
Thinking is a good thing” Ivy gave a thumbs up.
Rosalynn smiled and gently patted her head
On the way, hy met many of her classmates, some from her class, others from different ones.
Everyone greeted her enthusiastically, and some even bravely greeted Rosalynn.
After getting a gentle response from Rosalynn, they all got so excited they started jumping around.
After getting into the car, Ivy buckled her seatbelt by herself.
Then she tumed to look at Molly.
Molly noticed her gaze and looked back
“Do you want some candy?” Ivy blinked and asked sweetly, then handed Molly a piece
Molly lowered her head, thought for a moment, then accepted the candy: “Thank you”
