198 Petty vs Pretty.

On their way home, Jessa and Allison were quiet in the backseat.

"That's it!" Jessa broke the silence when she couldn't take it anymore. "Say it." She faced Allison, who had been giving her these looks since they sat in the car.

She "Uhm." Allison cleared her throat, a bit intimidated that Jessa might just grab her hair. No one could fault her. Jessa really gave that energy. "Thank you." "I thought you were going to say, "You didn't have to do that." "I was planning to, but I thought you'd get angry if I did." "Hmp! At least you know. Jessa folded her arms. "By the way, is that how you let people treat you? That's so pathetic."1 "No." Jessa arched a brow. "But you let that woman talk to you that way?" "What else can I say? Nina was in the wrong," Allison sighed. "I would've said something, but it's... it's the truth. No matter how harsh it is, it is the truth." Bitterness shone in Allison's eyes as she thought of the exchange between her and Mrs. Miller. "No one can deny the truth. Nina framed not just anyone, but her best friend. Even if it's something else, it's still a horrible thing to do. And as the person who raised her, I am ashamed of myself.

Jessa bit her tongue and stopped herself from saying anything further. "Well: She shrugged. "What else can I say?" "But even so, thank you for standing up for me. You weren't obliged, nor it is something you! should've stepped in, but you did, Allison expressed sincerely, smiling despite the bitterness in her heart. "And I also want to apologize about how I judged you before." "Oh?" "I thought you were a bad person.* "I'm not a good person, Jessa rolled her eyes, not a bit affected by Allison's gentle coaxing. "Forgiven, but just because you asked to be forgiven. Not that I care about your opinion." - she also had her opinion about Allison and Charles, and she would never apologize for that Sensing the evasive aura from Jessa, Allison pressed her lips into a thin line. "Mrs. Cortez, I know you might get angry at me, Nina doing?" but how "Despite everything she had done, I might be disappointed, but I can't help it,' she added with a sigh. "Nina is still my daughter in my eye and heart" "She's doing good. Better I guess?" "Did letting her be helped? "It did heln Int!

"She does that?" "Oh, girl. You don't even know the half of it." Jessa shook her head, thinking of the stressful days in their household. That little brat is probably the reason for the three wrinkles on my forehead." Allison pressed her lips, watching Jessa tically lament. "Does she hate us?" "Huh?" Jessa stopped and cast her a look. "I'm telling you about a wrinkle. Did you hear that part?" "Nina might think we're completely abandoning her," Allison explained, completely ignoring Jessa's wrinkle issues. "I love Penny and I want to protect her from anything even from the other daughter in my heart. But at the stime, I want nothing but the best for Nina. If only she can... just see that..." Jessa assessed the conflicting emotions in Allison's eyes and, in a way, she could sympathize with her. Allison might be annoyingly weak, but Jessa was also a mother. If Yuri turned out to be another woman's daughter, she couldn't just simply let Yuri go. 2 This entire situation was complicated entirely, as none of them wanted this to happen.

it happened and sadly." "Nina had a lot of nerves when she cinto our household, Jessa broke the brief silence between them. "In a way, she remindsof that woman - her real mother. But I can't also blthe child. You spoiled her and all her life, she thinks she'd be in the spotlight forever. Any person - doesn't matter at which point in life - always tries to protect what they think is theirs. @ th Slowly, she set her eyes on the window. "But with enough slaps from reality, we'd also wake up and accept the harsh truth. Nina is still young, a new teen at that. Her hormones at this point are crazy and, with that confusing situation, she is acting on instinct!" "But even though she showed what any person is capable of doing, doesn't mean she will be forever like that." Jessa set her eyes back to Allison, her expression solemn with a little bit of arch of her brow. "Just like you, I don't want her to be just like her birth mother. And letting her face reality is probably the best you've done for her and also for my little piglet." "Don't worry," Jessa added confidently. "If she's not changing for the good, I'd slap her ten times. until she wakes up from her delusions again." Allison smiled a little. "You didn't mean that, right?" "Oh, I do!" Jessa smirked. "Told you. Tough love, gurl!"

"Well... if she's doing better, then that's good," Allison smirked meekly as her shoulders relaxed.

gers relaxed. Her eyes softened as she glanced at Jessa. The latter might be a little rough around the edges, but she could feel Jessa's sincerity and kind heart. For a while, the two of them didn't say anything until Allison broke the silence first.

Jessa smirked and glanced at her. "No, but for me, she should relearn good manners and right conduct. So, it's still the same!" Allison pressed her lips into a thin line while staring at Jessa's broadening grin.

"Con. You want to laugh as well, do you?" Jessa squinted, pointing a finger at her. "There's just the two of us here e She kept dragging the children in her , so why not drag hers? Petty vs Pretty." "Oh. Allison bit her lips to stop herself from smiling, but in the end, she couldn't help it.
