After reassuring Corinne she would not relay what happened in the restroom to Adam and Sophia, Melinda prepared to go back to the table with Lilin and the real Benjamin.
As Melinda turned to look at Corinne before leaving, they locked gazes once more and felt that Corinne was somehow eerily familiar to her. Melinda had to stop for a moment and stare at Corinne for a moment.
Corinne was a little puzzled by Melinda's gaze and asked, "What's the matter, ma'am? Is something on my face?"
Melinda regained her composure and shook her head apologetically. "No. It's nothing," she said before leading the two children out of the bathroom.
The peculiar look in Melinda's eyes left Corinne feeling a little unnerved. It was their first time meeting each other, so she found it odd that Melinda would look at her as if she was someone Melinda knew.
As Melinda, Lilin, and Benjamin left the restroom together, Bryan hugged Corinne's thigh and said, "I'm so glad I can finally go home with you, Mommy!"
Corinne gazed down at Bryan and reached out to tap his little nose. "Are you sure you're that happy to go home with me? I thought you enjoyed your time with your father these past few days."
Bryan pursed his lips and said, "Hmm... Honestly, Mommy, I do like staying with Daddy, but it's really annoying that Sophia is watching him all the time."
"Does that mean you're only coming home with me because Sophia is annoying? Would you prefer to stay with Daddy instead of Mommy if Sophia wasn't around?"
Bryan shook his head vigorously. "No! You're more important than anything. I just wish that Sophia would just disappear so you can be with Daddy! Then I'll have Daddy and Mommy! We could all be together!" Corinne ruffled Bryan's hair and said, "Well, isn't that a lively imagination?"
Bryan hugged her tightly and said, "Stop pretending, Mommy. I know you like Daddy a lot too. You'll bring him back home to us even if I don't ask you to! Am I right, Mommy?" Corinne could not help but smile at perceptiveness.
