Chapter 114 Suddenly Become A Mother
At this time, the little girl also saw her.
She blinked her big watery eyes, and her delicate little face was full of curiosity and alertness.
Just when Clarissa wanted to say something more, she heard her suddenly say, "Mommy!"
Clarissa was dumbfounded.
The next second, the little girl stood up and ran towards her with excitement.
"Mommy! I finally found you!"
Clarissa was confused.
Well... what was going on?
She suddenly became a mother in the middle of the night?
In horror, Clarissa stared at the little girl who had rushed into her arms. After a long while, she came to sense.
"I think you must be mistaking me for your mother. I am not your mommy."
"Mommy, I miss you so much! They said that I couldn't find you until I came here. I didn't believe them, but I didn't expect that you're really here!"
Anne was obviously very happy. She held Clarissa's leg tightly with her two small arms, refusing to let go of her.
Clarissa was very embarrassed. But hearing the girl's words, she guessed that the child came to find her mother, but she had got lost.
Under such circumstances, she didn't know how to explain to her, so she didn't talk about it.
Clarissa looked around and didn't see anyone else. Then she asked, "Are you alone? Where are your families?"
"I lost my grandma in the crowd, and I can't find my family!"
Clarissa sighed in heart and thought that she was right.
It was very remote here, and it was near the suburbs. She really didn't understand how could the child's families leave her here alone!
She was a little angry and bent over to pick up the child.
"What is your name?"
"My name is Anne."
"Anne, don't be afraid. I will take you to find the policeman, okay? The policeman will definitely help you find your families."
Anne looked at her and blinked her eyes.
Her big and clear eyes were filled with puzzlement and confusion.
Clarissa's heart softened as she looked at her.
"Mommy, do you want the policeman to arrest grandma?"
Clarissa was stunned.
If she could, she really wanted to get someone to arrest her irresponsible grandma.
But she also knew that this was impossible.
Judging from the dressing of this child, she could know that the child was from a rich family and might have got separated from her family.
So she shook her head, "No, I just want them to help you find your grandma."
"But the policeman is off work now, and I'm so tired and sleepy. Mommy, can you take me home? I want to go home and sleep."
Clarissa was speechless.
She glanced at Anne in her arms, and her big eyes looked sleepy indeed.
She couldn't bear to leave her alone.
Forget it. Just find the policeman tomorrow!
Anyway, she would only take her home for one night. She planned to take Anne to find her families after Anne had a good sleep.
Thinking about this, Clarissa returned to the car with Anne in her arms.
She drove all the way back to Estdal Manor.
Pattie was on holiday that day, and the other servants had not come back to work after the Spring Festival, so it was rare that there was no one at home that day.
Clarissa took her into the guest room. Anne came to a new environment, and she was very curious about everything. She touched and looked around, and her beautiful eyes were full of happiness.
"Mommy, is this your house? Your house is so beautiful!"
Clarissa smiled and corrected her, "Let me tell you again. I am not your mommy. Just call me auntie."
Anne looked at her, feeling a little aggrieved.
"But you are my mommy!"
Clarissa was stunned.
Anne was so aggrieved that there were some tears in her eyes. Seeing her like this, Clarissa felt a little painful in heart, as if her heart had been pricked by a needle.
She couldn't tell why she felt this way. It was the first time she met this child, but she had a vaguely familiar feeling, as if she had seen her a long time ago.
Clarissa sighed.
She couldn't bear to correct her address again. Then she squatted down, looked at her gently, and said softly: "Okay. It's getting late. Can you sleep here?"
Anne nodded obediently.
"Mommy, will you sleep with me?"
Clarissa hesitated for a moment.
She had never looked after a child. But Anne was so small, and she felt a little worried to let her sleep alone.
So she nodded, "Okay."
Hearing this, Anne looked extremely excited.
She quickly pulled Clarissa to lie down and said, "Then can you tell me a story?"
Clarissa was stunned.
Tell a story?
Well... she didn't know how to tell a story!
Clarissa wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bear to do that when she saw Anne's expectant and watery eyes.
Finally, she could only brace herself and say, "Okay!"
"Yeah! I want to hear Elsa's story!"
"Well... okay!"
Fortunately, Clarissa had accidentally watched a part of this film before. Although she couldn't tell a complete story, she made up a story and use her imagination to tell a general story.
Time passed by bit by bit, and it didn't take long before Anne fell asleep.
Clarissa stopped telling the story and finally breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Anne's quiet sleeping face.
That night, Anne slept exceptionally soundly, but Clarissa did not fall asleep after lying on the bed for several hours.
She barely fell asleep when it was almost dawn.
The next day, Clarissa ate breakfast with Anne and then took her to the police station.
Anne was obedient. She knew that Clarissa was going to help her find her families, so she didn't cry or make trouble along the way.
When they arrived at the police station, Clarissa told the policeman that she found Anne last night. It happened that a person came to report that she got separated from the child last night, so the policeman contacted her in a hurry.
Clarissa sat on the bench with Anne and waited. It didn't take long before she saw an old lady with gray hair running in.
"Anne!"
"Grandma!"
Anne was overjoyed. She jumped off the chair and ran towards the old lady.
They hugged each other. Seeing this, Clarissa knew that the old lady must be Anne's family and was relieved.
"Miss, did you save Anne?"
The old lady looked at her and asked.
Clarissa nodded. After a pause, she couldn't help but said, "Anne is so young, but you are too careless. How could you let her stay in such a place alone? What if something bad happened to her?"
Hearing her angry words, the old lady didn't get mad and nodded with a smile.
"You're right. We will definitely be careful next time."
Clarissa couldn't say anything more. After all, Anne was her grandchild, and it could be seen that Anne had a very good relationship with this old lady. As an outsider, she was not qualified to criticize her. If she said something more, she would be too unreasonable.
So Clarissa signed and was about to leave, but the old lady stopped her.
"Girl, you helped us this time. This is my gift for you. Please accept it."
The old lady took out an envelope. Without opening it, Clarissa knew what was inside from the shape of the envelope.
