Her routine had been set for the weekdays and in the end, she would go to a library and read her heart out or finish her assignments. Human confrontations were something that for the very back of remind. The only person she tolerated talking with was her aunt because aunt Tessa knew when to start and when to stop. Perhaps it was because she had grieved enough for her parents as well which is why she understood Adaline very well.
But this time it was interrupted. Aunt Tessa had caught her when she was on her way to the Library and demanded that she do some grocery shopping since today her aunt did not have the time to go and she was still busy with her work-from-home job.
Adeline completely understood because even though she was a multi-millionaire, her aunt had decided that she would not spend a penny at least in her schooling years where she could easily pay for the child. This was something she wanted to do as her responsibility for being Adeline's guardian.
