Chương 488: Daughter (1)

Annalise stared at the paper being pushed toward them in shock. She knew that it was coming for them to proceed with adopting, but hearing that they were allowed to adopt was something she needed a moment to digest. The long-awaited moment had finally come and she was frozen in her seat that they were told yes so soon. 

Annalise was so happy that she didn't know what she wanted to do first. Reach over the table to hug Thelma, hug Lydia, cry, or get up and jump around. 

They officially had Lydia as their daughter. She would not have to leave to come back to the orphanage and they have to wait for Thelma's decision. She could claim Lydia as her daughter to anyone asking who Lydia was to her and Rafael.

Annalise looked down at Lydia sitting between her and Rafael. Lydia mirrored what Annalise was feeling. There was no better feeling than knowing that Lydia had also picked her. Lydia had accepted wanting them as parents.

Rafael held Annalise's hand.
