The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 228

Willow picked up her dolls and placed them on a small desk beside the bathroon door. She then stood on a little stood. 

Gazing into the mirror, she began to practice het greetings. “Hello, I’m Willow. What’s your name?” 

after practicing in front of the micros, she didn’t forget to indium Milton and Dorothy. “The mitjor practice is over now. It’s time to read.” 

she picked up a storybook and carefully enunciated each word phonetically before reading the words thece she was familiar with all the words, the read the entire sentence aloud. 

After finishing a short story, she put the book down 

Hearing Annalise’s voice, Willow quickly placed Milton and Dorothy on the bed and said, “I’m going to jog now. Byg, Grandpa, Grandma!“ 

Willow opened her bedroom door and called “Mommy!” 

TIT 

I stood by the calling. Hearing her call, I turned around. “Let’s go. It’s time to exercise.” 

Willow jogged over to me eager “okay!” 

The morning’s workout followed the plan we had set on Friday. It was clear that Willow’s stamina had become much stronger. She ran a full mile without stopping. Though the sweated like mad, she never paused for a break. 

After the jog, the three of us practiced the basic moves of martial arts together. 

Willow seemed to feel the fatigue then, as she was breathing heavily. I was about to pick her up and carry her back to the living room, but she pushed me away. “I can do it myself. Mommy! 

She seemed to be becoming more independent with each passing day. 

I smiled, feeling proud of her.“Alright. You go ahead” 

“Okay,” Willow said, then quickly ran up the stars. She stopped at her coom’s doorway and looked back at me. “Mommy, I want to shower by myself today.”” 

After spending so much time with her, I had gotten to know her well. I knew she probably had something to say to Milton and Dorothy, so I didn’t stop her. Instead, I smiled and returned to the living room 

Willow closed the door behind her. She wanted to all Milton and Dorothy how amazing she was, but then realized she was covered in swear Milton and Decathy wouldn’t like that. 

So, she went to the bathroom, took a refreshing shower, and changed into a beautiful dress. 

She stood in front of the dolls and twirled in her new outfit. “candpa, Grandma, do you think this dress is pretty?” 

Miton and Dorothy both praised, “You look like a little fairy! So adorabile 

Willow piggled, clearly pleased with herself. “I think so, too” She wasn’t shy about it 

The elderly couple spoiled her, agreeing with her 

Willow beamed, saying, “You know, I just finished running. I ran a whole mile today without stopping. Preity impressive, right?” 

Milton praised her sincerely. “That’s very impressive! Some adults couldn’t even do that, let alone a kid?
