lody put her phone aside and chuckled. "What a clever couple you are! Indeed, she is Sam's daughter, and she's three years old."
Astonished, the pair threw their glances at each other. No words could describe the hysteria they had for the newest three-year-old addition, who appeared out of thin air.
"M-mom. What's her na and where is she right now?" Putting down the stick, Viola joined her arms in lody's.
Grinning, lody tapped Viola's hands. "Her na is Jane and she's living with Samuel and Ella. She was born in France three years ago."

"Dad, Mom, " greeted Ella. She handed over the gifts she'd brought.
Grinning, Viola held Ella's hand and deliberately reproached her, "This is your ho. You don't need to buy these."
Then she pretended that she hadn't noticed Jane and approached her as if she were astounded. "Samuel, who's this pretty girl?"
Looking expectant, Viola waited for his answer so she could judge his reaction and give her granddaughter a hug.
"Mom, dad, " said Samuel, "This is our daughter, Jane."
Both of Vincent and Viola were glanced at each other with their eyebrows raised. It was exactly as they suspected. Viola picked up Jane without asking any more questions.
"Happy New Year, grandma and grandpa, " said Jane out of courtesy. In fact, Jane had seen Viola in this house before, but she had done so from her secret hiding place where Viola couldn't find her.
