Chapter 11. Where Did You Go?

She pushed the door and quickly got out of the car. Then she bought something and ran back quickly. "Scotchtails, do you eat them?" Penelope asked as she hopped in the car.

The driver shook his head. "When I was young, I ate too much, and now I have no interest at all."

Penelope nodded and said while eating, "I ate once when I was a child, but after that, I left with my mother."

"Where did you go?"

"New York, to find my dad." Penelope sniffed the scotchtails on her hand and said, "Unfortunately, my dad had already fallen in love with another woman."

The driver fell silent.

"I don't understand why my mother had to give up everything here to chase a man. How wonderful it is here. If I had lived here, I would have..." Penelope wiped away tears from her eyes and said, "Then I would have gone to all the schools that we visited just now one by one, and finally, I would have been admitted to a college."

The primary school is on Church Road.
