Mara kept looking at her phone and finally waited until ten o'clock, almost eleven o'clock.

This was the time when Lucy woke up.

Chloe said, "Just wait. The Murray family will call you back in less than ten minutes."

Mara, "What if they don't call?"

Chloe shook her head, "That's not possible. They might say coldly when they call, but they will call me."

Mara waited until 12 O'clock, but still no news from the Murray family.

She couldn't sit still and got up and said, "No, I have to go check it out."

Chloe didn't pull Mara back even after several callings. She just felt that Mara was too lazy.

No child could leave his mother. Why was she in a hurry?

**

Murray family.

Susie was taking Lucy to draw.

"Here you go." Susie handed Lucy a piece of white paper.

Lucy turned her head and grunted, "I don't want yours."

Although she said so, she still picked it up.

Susie wondered, "Don't you want it?"

Lucy lifted her chin and said stiffly, "I'm not white enough on this paper, so barely use yours."

In a short while, they drew a picture, and Susie said, "I'll send it to my old friend."

Then, she ran out to find Craig and dragged him over.

Craig removed his glasses while asking, "What did you draw today?"

Susie replied, "Look, Grandpa. A self-portrait of an egg."

Craig couldn't help but laugh and asked again, "Where's Lucy's?"

Lucy had watched the two laughing at Susie's painting and was downbeat, feeling that grandpa didn't like her.

When Craig asked, she couldn't help but get a glint in her eye.

Lucy said happily, "I drew a self-portrait of a hen."

Craig raised his eyebrows and looked at Lucy's drawing, suddenly realizing she was also good at drawing.

It might not be as dynamic as Susie's paintings, but it was full of childishness.

Susie picked up Craig's phone, clicked a picture of her painting, took a picture of Lucy's painting, and sent them to Master Leopold.

She pressed the phone, came close to the microphone, and said, "Old friend, this is the painting I drew with my sister."

Soon Zachariah sent a voice, "You both draw well. Do you mind if I post them?"

Susie turned her head to look at Lucy and saw that she agreed, so she happily replied that she didn't mind.

Only a short time after, Zachariah put up the paintings on Facebook. This time, there was not only Susie's but also Lucy's.

Lucy could not read, but the light in her eyes grew brighter when she saw it.

So that's how it felt to be complimented.

All this time, no one had ever praised her except her mother, who kept saying, 'Lucy is great.'

It turned out that without crying and making a fuss, she could also get the attention of others.

Lucy looked to Susie and, for the first time, thought independently about a problem.

Her grandmother and mother both said Susie was a little villain who came to the Murray family to rob her. But now she felt as if that was not the case.

Lucy went to Susie again in the afternoon without her mother or anyone else to play with.

Two little girls with a small bucket were catching fish to play in the shallow pool in the garden.

Mara arrived at the Murray family long ago, but unfortunately, she didn't even get in and was kicked out again.

She was so depressed and upset that she wandered outside the Murray family estate.

The Murray family's estate was not completely enclosed, some lots were surrounded by a high fence, and some were natural barriers to the lake.

Others had only iron fences separating the estate from the back of the mountain to blend in with nature.

Mara looked through the bars and saw Lucy from afar, who was playing with Susie.

She felt suddenly uncomfortable. How could her good girl play with Susie?

"Lulu." shouted Mara, "Baby, look here."

Susie was catching fish with Lucy when she suddenly heard Mara's voice.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Mara outside the bars.

Lucy whipped around to look, "I think I hear mom's voice."

Susie immediately covered her ears and said, "No, you didn't hear that."

Then, she pulled Lucy's hand to run to the house, "Quickly, there are big monsters behind."

As soon as Lucy heard that, she remembered the 'person'.

At that moment, without looking back, she ran faster than Susie into the house.

Mara was about to die of anger after seeing Lucy run away.

After Susie came to the Murray family, Lucy lived a terrible life. The others gave Susie more things than Lucy and even caused Lucy to be criticized in full public view.

And now they were misleading Lucy.

Mara got angrier when she thought about it.

***

In the evening, Zion, Hamza, and Wade returned from their hobby class.

Because it was the weekend, the Murray family's sons were all back.

Craig said, "Susie is bored at home all day, so we'll take some time tomorrow and go camping together at the wetland park."

Susie asked with a tilted head, "Grandpa, what's camping?"

She could understand some of the things once she saw them, but she was unsure what she hadn't seen, like camping.

Ryan explained with a smile, "Camping is going out into the wilderness and staying outside."

Susie wondered, "We have a home. Why don't we live at home?"

Zion snorted and said with contempt, "Hillbilly."

He threw his forks away and walked out with his hands in his pockets, "I'm out."

What's so great about camping? He would like to be at home playing games.

Craig blushed and said, "What are you talking about? Come back and sit down."

Zion made a face, "No."

Martin put down his forks with a snap and said coldly, "Zion."

Zion was silenced. Although he was afraid of Martin, his eldest uncle, he was not also defiant.

Then, he ran upstairs.

***

On the other hand, Mia's mom, who always followed Master Leopold's Facebook and found what he had posted.

This time, there were not only Susie's paintings but also Lucy's paintings.

Mia's mother felt it was unfair. Susie's drawings were barely comparable to Mia's, but that’s okay because Mr. Murray supported her.

But what the hell was Lucy drawing? Was that a hen? Just a few messy lines?

Mia sat quietly to one side and said gloomily, "Mom, did I say something bad that day."

She still thought about what happened that day because of her lie.

Those people's jeering and skeptical eyes were too much for her.

Two aunts who passed in front of the car said she was not qualified to be a student of Master Leopold.

As time passed, Mia became more and more resentful towards Susie instead of releasing her resentment.

Mia's mother comforted Mia, "Don't overthink about it. It's not your fault."

Seeing that Mia was depressed, her mom thought about it and said, "Tomorrow, let's have a rest. How about camp?"

Mia's face lit up with joy, "Really?" Because she had been attending various interest classes since she was two years old.

Even if she had the occasional break, her mom had to read books with her to develop a reading habit.

So, Mia was surrounded by school, tutorials, and interest classes.

Knowing she could go camping, Mia finally got happier.
