Mr. and Mrs. Green came to the airport to pick Bella up. They had meant to blame her or to be angry, but seeing how vulnerable she was, they changed their mind. “Bella…” Mrs. Green was so overwhelmed that she didn’t know what to say. ”Mum, I’m so sorry…” Bella began guiltily. Her family was very traditional. Now she was pregnant and unmarried. She thought she would bring great shame to her family. “It’s all right. The most important thing is that we can be together. Don’t think too much. Let’s lead a happy life here,” Mr. Green said, with tears in his eyes. The three of them hugged each other warmly, then made their way home from the airport. Mr. Green had bought a house in France a few years previous. Now it seemed like a good place for Bella to live in peace while she was pregnant.
