“Yes, our Harley is a brave little one,” Valda said. She was truly impressed that a three-year-old child would rush forward like that to protect her.
“But you can’t fight like that in the future, okay? Because if you get hurt, Mommy will be heartbroken. It will be even more painful than if Mommy gets hurt herself,”
Valda added.
Harley immediately said, “I…I won’t fight anymore. I won’t let Mommy be sad.”
“Good girl,” Valda smiled and kissed her daughter’s tender little face.
Of course, how long Harley’s promise would last was anyone’s guess.
In any case, her daughter always made promises very decisively, but could never keep them forever.
After cleaning her daughter, Valda walked out of the bathroom and saw Brian waiting outside.
The little one, upon seeing his father, immediately exclaimed with excitement, “Daddy, mommy promised to take me to the amusement park!”
Brian looked at Valda and asked, “Did you agree?”
“Okay, let’s take her out to play this weekend,” said Valda.
Brian helped his daughter dry her hair and applied medicine afterwards.
The doctor has already examined the little one before, and there are no major issues, only some minor skin injuries.
When getting medicine, the little one kept humming and muttering, saying “Daddy, it hurts, please be gentle, even more gentle…”
Brian looked helpless, his gestures were already as light as possible.
“How come you never thought about the pain when you were fighting?” he asked.
“It hurts, but they were talking bad about mommy, so of course I had to make them apologize to mommy!” In short, even if it hurts, I have to stand up for mommy!
Brian looked at his daughter with a hint of approval in his eyes. Although her fighting caused him headaches, her defense of
Valda was commendable.
“So, from now on, let’s protect mommy together,” Brian said to
Harley.
The little one blinked and then grinned widely. “Okay, I want to protect mommy with daddy!”
After their daughter fell asleep, Brian and Valda returned to their room. Valda’s face was slightly gloomy, and Brian asked, “Are you still thinking about the fight between the kids today?”
Valda nodded and said, “My leg…I’m afraid it will bring a lot of criticism to Harley in the future.”
Today may have been just the beginning. In the future, how many people will say that her mother is disabled on her daughter’s path to growth? Will Harley have to fight every time?
Valda was actually very distressed by the injuries her daughter suffered today. Fortunately, they were only minor injuries. If they were serious, she didn’t know what to do.
Her leg was incurable and would be like this for the rest of her life!
She thought she had overcome her psychological problems and bravely faced them, but now it was affecting her daughter.
“Don’t overthink it,” Brian said, afraid that Valda would get stuck on the fight. “Harley will know that fighting is useless. There are better ways to make others shut up.
And also…”
Brian’s voice trailed off as he stared deeply into Valda’s eyes. “You are Harley’s mother. Without you, there would be no her. She is your daughter, and it’s your duty to protect her. Valda, your leg is proof that you saved Jasmine and that you love me enough to sacrifice for me. So don’t dwell on it, don’t regret it…will you marry me?”
He was afraid that she would feel insecure about her leg and regret being with him.
He had worked hard to open her heart, and he couldn’t let her close it again.
Valda looked at Brian’s worried face and smiled gently, holding his face in her hands. “Brian, I won’t regret it. Marrying you is the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. I feel happy to have given birth to
Harley.”
She kissed him on the lips and continued, “Although I know that in the future, Harley may be laughed at because of me, I hope she can become stronger and fearless. And I will also become better, so that fewer and fewer people will laugh at me and more and more people will admire me. They won’t laugh at me anymore.”
Brian was surprised by Valda’s words. He didn’t expect her to say that.
Valda had been changing and becoming stronger over the years.
“We will, we will definitely do that in the future!” Brian said softly, picking up Valda and carrying her to the bed.
He carefully placed her on the bed, his eyes burning with love. “Valda, I love you. Whatever happens in the future, we will face it together!”
“Okay, let’s face it together,” she smiled, her face blushing slightly.
And the rosy hue on her face was undoubtedly the most fatal temptation for him, and he suddenly kissed her lips.
A passionate kiss, completely different from his usual cold and distant demeanor towards others.
His passion was only given to her and his family.
Valda lifted both of her hands and wrapped them around Brian’s neck…
The kiss deepened continuously, just like their love for each other, which also grew deeper with the passing of time.
Due to the fight, Tina has been punished for several days. Not only did her parents scold her, but even
Chandler scolded her.
And Chandler is also the most well-trained one.
In short, Tina feels very miserable.
“How old are you? You’re already thinking about fighting with others. Do you know that asking Jasmine to call for help is not the right thing to do? Why didn’t you think about asking Jasmine to directly call us adults for help? All she does is call for people to fight.” In the living room of the Stephenson family, Lina is scolding her daughter again.
Before, she always thought her daughter just loved to join in the fun, but when faced with danger, she definitely ran faster than anyone else.
However, after this incident, she realized that she had some misconceptions about her daughter.
“I…I’m just trying to help Harley. I can’t let him suffer any losses,” Tina defended herself.
“Harley is only three years old, how old are you?” Lina said irritably.
“I’m only eight years old,” Tina said with a very aggrieved expression, looking at her mother with a “I’m just a baby” look.
Lina was choked and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
“Okay, okay, Tina knows she was wrong, so please don’t scold her anymore,” Hadwin finally spoke up and defended his daughter.
This fight ended relatively peacefully, fortunately it didn’t escalate into something bigger.
If things really escalate, it may end up with a direct confrontation between their families and the Crypt families on the other side, and it could get out of control.
“Tina, do you know what you did wrong?” said Hadwin, while gesturing towards his daughter.
Tina, who often makes mistakes, has already reached an understanding with her father in this regard.
She quickly nodded her head and said, “I understand, I understand.”
“What should I do if I encounter this kind of situation again in the future?” Hadwin asked again.
“We should fight while asking Jasmine to go find an adult to help!” Tina replied smoothly.
Hadwin wiped his forehead with a sweat, reluctant to admit the fact that his daughter’s intelligence may not meet the standard of being smart.
“Do you still want to fight?” Lina said. “What you should do is stop the fight and take the opportunity to find an adult to resolve this matter.”
“Oh.” Tina quickly obediently responded.
In short, it’s best if Mom doesn’t get angry. But if she does, she’s definitely the one in charge!
“Fortunately, none of you kids got seriously hurt today. Otherwise, you would have seen me beat you up,” said Lina.
When she said those words, Chandler, who was also in the living room, furrowed his brow and spoke up, “This is my fault. I brought those people to the birthday party and I didn’t keep up with Tina.”
At the beginning, he should have realized that those people were usually reckless and taking a few people without anyone to restrain them could easily lead to trouble. However, at that time, Tina and
Harley, along with a few other girls, were together, so he didn’t follow them.
If he had been walking beside him at that time, then this incident wouldn’t have happened.
“Right, if Chandler had followed me, this wouldn’t have happened,” Tina quickly agreed.
Her agreement only earned her a bigger eye-roll from Lina. “You have the nerve to say that? Come on, tell me, how many times has Chandler bailed you out of trouble from all the mischief you’ve caused since childhood?”
Tina pouted and said, “Mommy, I’m only 8 years old, I’m not considered grown up yet!”
Lina feels like she’s about to be driven crazy by her daughter. When she tries to teach her daughter a lesson, her daughter even corrects her choice of words.
“In short, you are not allowed to go to the Sleeping Cat Cartoon
Exhibition!” Lina concluded bluntly.
Tina suddenly burst into tears!
You should know that Sleeping Cat is a cartoon character that she has been obsessed with for two years. She watches the Sleeping
Cat animated series every day and has a lot of Sleeping Cat merchandise at home.
This time, Sleeping Cat is hosting a themed exhibition in Emerald City, and Tina is very excited about it!
Many classmates in her class also planned to go see it, so she naturally didn’t want to miss out.
I also plan to bring all my pocket money from my savings jar, so that I can buy lots and lots of Sleeping
Cat merchandise.
If we were to describe Tina as an idol or a fan favorite, she would undoubtedly be a crazy fan of
Sleeping Cat.
“I’ve already told my classmates that I’m going to see the Sleeping Cat Cartoon Exhibition!” Tina emphasized.
“So you can tell your classmates tomorrow that you’re not going,”
