Chapter 375 Found the Child
As Arya returned with the groceries, she found Dulce and Maggie engaged in a lively conversation. Maggie rose from the sofa to assist with the bags, but Arya gently stopped her.
"Don't worry about it, dear. I've got this," Arya said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "Dulce, would you like to stay for lunch? I'm planning to make some delicious barbecue."
Dulce grinned, "Sure, Arya. Your barbecue is the best."
Arya's face lit up with joy at the compliment. "Please, come over more often. I love cooking, especially now that I'm not working at the hotel anymore. It's a nice way to unwind."
Maggie, pregnant, laughed from the sofa, "Mom loves compliments on her cooking."
Dulce joked, "Arya's way better than my mom. Her cooking is terrible. I feel bad for my dad; he's been eating it for over twenty years."
Maggie chuckled, "When's the last time you went home?"
"About two months ago. It's always quiet when I visit," Dulce said. She now lived alone in a two-bedroom apartment.
Arya came in with some garlic, peeling it in the living room. "I saw Susan earlier. She followed Adalia and me to the kindergarten, asking about the child."
Maggie looked worried, "Did Susan do anything?"
Arya shook her head, "No, I think she just misses her own son. We're moving this weekend, so it should be fine."
Dulce asked, "You're moving?"
Maggie nodded, "Yeah, to Sunset Hills Estates. Fiorello's old house. He hired a nutritionist for me. The doctor said I need to be careful."
Dulce agreed, "Makes sense. This place is too small, especially with a baby on the way. Arya has a lot on her plate."
Maggie's phone rang. It was an unknown number.
"Hello, who is this?" Maggie answered.
"Maggie, this is the director of South Road Orphanage. We have a lead on the child you're looking for."
Maggie got excited, "Really? Where is my daughter?"
She had never stopped searching, leaving her contact info everywhere.
The director said, "The child was adopted by a couple. Can you come over to discuss?"
"Thank you. I'll come right away." Maggie was thrilled.
She told Arya, "Mom, they found her. They found my daughter."
Arya and Dulce exchanged worried looks, not as excited as Maggie.
Maggie stood up, "I'm going to the orphanage. Dulce, can you drive me?"
Dulce cautioned, "Maggie, don't rush. If she is your daughter, what will you do?"
Maggie was confused, "I'll bring her back, of course."
Dulce said, "You're now part of the Flores family. How will they react? What about Fiorello?"
Arya added, "Dulce is right. Don't rush. You're pregnant, and Mrs. Flores already isn't happy with you. This might not be the best time."
