Chapter 460 I Want To Stay
After mulling everything over in her head, Lila finally left her room.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to go out of her room in the last few days.
She headed down the stairs and could make out her parents watching a TV drama in the living room with Janet.
Lila could see that Johanna was moved to tears by the scene in the TV drama. She was wiping her face as she held Janet. "It's obvious that the heroine in this drama is so pitiful."
Janet comforted her with a warm smile on her face. "This is just a TV show. It's all fake. This kind of thing never happens in real life."
Beal peeled the oranges for them as he said, "Your mother happens to be a very sentimental woman. Whenever she sees a baby being taken away from their parents in a drama, she'll go on to cry hysterically."
Johanna placed a piece of orange into her mouth and glared daggers at Beal. "Stop blowing my cover in front of our daughter."
The family was sharing a moment of intimacy right then.
Lila felt that she was intruding on their moment. She endured the bitterness in her heart and went over calmly to them. Her eyes were red and swollen and her face was wet with tears.
"Mom, Dad, what TV drama are you watching? Your discussion of it is so intense."
Hearing the sound of her voice, Beal and Johanna turned their heads around. Seeing the pitiful look on Lila's face, they began to pity her.
Johanna quickly pulled out two pieces of tissue from the table, got up, and made her way over to comfort Lila. "If you're unhappy, just tell us. Don't keep it in your heart. No matter what happens in the end, we're still family."
At the start of all this, Johanna wanted to take the initiative to comfort Lila. But after thinking it over for a while, she thought it would be better to let Lila digest the matter by herself. Lila was no longer a child anymore. She should be able to deal with it by herself.
Lila nodded while tears streamed down her face at the same time. She embraced Johanna tightly and said, "Mom, I don't want to leave you. Even though I now know I have my biological parents, I haven't seen them for over twenty years. We don't know each other and I don't want them back. I've always regarded you as my biological parents. I'm crying because I really don't want to leave you."
Beal got up and walked over to her. He patted Lila on the back and tried to comfort her. "Your mother and I never want you to leave us either. If you want to stay, then just continue to live with us. You're still our daughter no matter what."
He believed in his heart that Lila's biological parents were not good people. If she really went back to them, she wouldn't be able to live a good life in that kind of family.
Lila peered up at them happily. She sniffled and turned to look at Janet with tears all over her face. "Then we'll be sisters from now on, Janet."
Janet smiled and said, "Yes."
"That's really great." Johanna was happy to hear that now they were going to be one big happy family. She held Janet's hand and said affectionately to her, "Lila was born a little earlier than you were. That means she'll be your elder sister from now on."
After pausing for a few seconds, Janet opened her mouth to say, "All right."
Lila smiled and promised Johanna, "Okay, Mom, I'll go on to take good care of Janet in the future." At first, Janet thought that this was going to be a happy ending for them, but out of the corner of her eye, she found that the way Lila looked at her didn't seem to be as friendly as what she showed on the surface.
However, Janet didn't say anything in front of Johanna. The last thing she wanted to do was make her sad.
Beal pushed his round-frame glasses back on his nose and had a gentle smile on his face. He placed his arm around Johanna's shoulder and said, "Well, it looks like our family is finally reunited."
Johanna turned to look at him, with tears glistening in her eyes. Finally, their family was complete now.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
