Indeed, Heidi was dressed in shabby clothes, but all of this was due to her mother. Not only did Petra have to provide for her husband and son, but Petra also forced Heidi to do the same. If it wasn't for this, Heidi could at least dress like a normal person. This suddenly brought back the memory of how Tabitha had offered to give Heidi clothes before Heidi was about to leave.
However, there was no need for Petra to intervene. Heidi would never accept it, even if it meant she couldn't afford new clothes for the rest of her life. She absolutely refused to pick up the cast-offs that Tabitha didn't want.
Perhaps, Petra had pushed Heidi too hard, which led to Heidi suddenly losing her temper. She abruptly stepped out from behind Petra and made a very conspicuous appearance at the door.
Petra was instantly alarmed, rushing forward to try and pull Heidi away.
"What are you doing? Don't block Mr. Quirk's path. Come over here quickly!" Petra was anxious to stop Heidi.
At that moment, Hansel, Astrid, and the others looked over.
Isabella slightly furrowed her brows.
Didn't Petra also rush forward the previous time without any sensibility? But she's now unwilling for her daughter to do the same. Also, it would be rude not to greet someone you've met at the door. After all, Tabitha invited them over and they seem to know one another. "Dad, Mom, this is Heidi," said Tabitha, rushing over to her parents with a smile as she made the introduction.
Hansel and Astrid were doting parents. The moment they saw Tabitha, they would first ask about how Tabitha was doing before turning their attention to anything else.
"Heidi, right? I remember you! Tabitha's childhood friend. People say that girls become prettier as they become older, and it's certainly true in your case," said Astrid with a gentle smile.
"Tabitha won't be staying here for long, so she cherishes the time she spends with her good friends. Feel free to visit often," said Hansel. He carried no airs about him, coming across as a kindly and approachable uncle.
Heidi couldn't help but feel a pang of envy at the scene before her. Tabitha was truly blessed with wonderful parents, whose love and support remained constant.
She was fond of Tabitha's parents. However, as her own mother had said, such was fate.
Heidi politely greeted the couple.
Meanwhile, Petra seemed pale, with cold sweat trickling down her face. In fact, ever since Heidi arrived, her complexion hadn't been good. Hence, Isabella didnt give it much thought,
Petra persistently urged Heidi to leave.

Petra, however, quickly waved her hands to indicate she didn't need any help. She was perfectly fine taking her daughter home on her scooter.
Then, in a rush, she quickly whisked Heidi away.
It seemed as if she were terrified of Heidi staying a moment longer.
It would not be a stretch to say that Petra was merely aware of her boundaries. However, it seemed a bit excessive when it came to the Quirk family, who were such kind-hearted people.
In the evening, the kids were still playing together as usual. Once it was time, they left.
In the end, Christopher wanted to leave. However, Rosalie subtly suggested that he stay, implying that Isabella had something to say.
Isabella and Alexander were cozily watching videos on the sofa. When they were done, they got up to leave without any intention of starting a conversation.
Okay, time to go back and rest. Oh, right! I'll tell Alexander about the gossip later.
Rosalie had been suppressing her curiosity for what felt like ages. So when Isabella wanted to discuss with others, she was just referring to Alex? How unfair!
Christopher was exhausted. What on earth are we doing? I'm so tired!
Once they returned to the room, Isabella and Alexander washed up while discussing the strange occurrences Isabella had noticed that day. As she did not have her guard up, she inadvertently revealed information that could only have been discovered by the system. Others would have immediately used this as evidence to expose Isabella.
However, Alexander could only pretend as though he hadn't noticed anything. He patiently waited for his wife to finish speaking.
"Don't worry. Even though Hansel and Astrid may seem easygoing, they are extremely protective when it comes to their daughter. Tabitha was unharmed today, but if anything had happened, they would rather err on the side of caution than let it slide. Most importantly, if the other party is a long-term friend, they would thoroughly scrutinize the person."
Isabella asked in surprise, "Are they that strict?"
