It didn't take a minute before Amelia discovered that the lawyer was alive. It was Isabella who told her about the news as she was the first to enter their house and saw her grandmother, who was in the kitchen, preparing dinner. "Grandma, daddy is alive and I've seen at my grandpa Armando's house. I even tried to pinch him to know that he is real..." said Isabella, as she explains everything. At first, her grandmother could not understand what she was saying but she finally did when the girl's mom explained everything to her. "But where is she now Cass? Why didn't he come inside? I missed him too, dear!"

Our firstborn is already a teenager and I'm almost forty and scared that Imman would exchange me for a younger woman..."

Expecting the visit of their father, Isabella started to clean her room by herself and displayed all her toys, especially the gifts that were given to her ever since she was born. She even displayed the big dolls and toy houses that her grandparents gifted her. The picture of her and her twins and her older brother which she kept dearly, was also on her neat little table, in the center between the pictures of her mother and her grandparents. She used to boast how pretty she was at the center of her brothers but recently, she changed it by saying to her friends who come to visit her whenever she asked them to play with her, that she was lucky enough that her twin brother is a boy and if not, he is probably prettier than her. This assumption always solicits lots of laughter from her grandpa who adores her so much, always telling her brothers that she is the favorite of everyone, including their dad, whom she only saw in pictures.

Although most of the flowers were bought by the chairman's wife, Rafael also knows much of them since he also likes their smell not to mention the therapeutic benefits they give to their owners. "Look over there Imman! That is a lavender plant that my wife loves so much. She kept it where the sun could directly shine on it. What a beauty, right? The aroma is so soothing and it even helps you get a good sleep." "You are definitely right dad!
