Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sarah was anxious and angry. She pulled Emma and comforted her with heartache. She turned to Amelia and scolded: “How could you use violence? If you don’t want to give your sister the parrot, you can just say so. Why did you hit her?”
Amelia’s eyes were full of tears and her lips were pursed tightly. She clenched her fists stubbornly and said, “It was sister who hit me first.”
Sarah said angrily, “You can hit her back just because she hit you? Don’t children know how to be modest and polite? Why are you…
“Enough!” Old Master Walton shouted angrily and interrupted Sarah. “You asked Mia to be modest and give way, but what about Emma? Does she know how to be modest and give way? She was the one who s.n.a.t.c.hed Mia’s parrot first, and she was the one who hit her first. How dare you blame Mia for hitting her? Do you want Mia to be bullied by you guys and not retaliate?”
Sarah paused for a second. Although she didn’t argue further, she still felt dissatisfied. Yes, her words just now were a little reckless, but her precious daughter had never been hit by anyone before. She couldn’t even bear to say anything harsh to Emma, now that she was. .h.i.t, how could any mother accept it? Besides, hitting people was wrong, Emma only pushed Amelia, how was that hitting her first?
Sarah turned to look at Old Madam Walton. Seeing that Old Madam Walton didn’t even look at Emma, Sarah felt disappointed. Emma was her paternal granddaughter! Why didn’t she comfort Emma at once? How sad would Emma be? Sarah hugged Emma. “Emma, baby. Mommy will hug you.”
Sarah carried Emma and left angrily. Old Master Walton was furious. “I can’t criticize her anymore, right? Doesn’t she realize that there is something wrong with the way she educates her child?”
After struggling to come up with words, Dylan finally said: “Dad, don’t be mad. Sarah is indeed sensitive when it comes to the children.” It would have been better if he hadn’t said this. Now that he said it, Old Master Walton was even more angry. But now was not the time to argue with Dylan. He looked at Amelia: “Mia, are you hurt?”
Amelia held Seven in her arms and shook her head. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn’t say a word. Old Madam Walton’s heart ached so much that she cried. She hugged Amelia and patted her back as said, “Don’t cry, our Mia doesn’t cry…
Amelia’s mouth flattened and she choked: “It’s Sister Emma who hit Seven first..” She didn’t want to be polite and give way. She was still a child too, why did she have to be polite and give way when her older sister hit her? Amelia felt extremely aggrieved. In the past, when she was. .h.i.t and scolded, she didn’t cry. But now Old Madam Walton was hugging her and Old Master Walton was comforting her, she didn’t know why she suddenly couldn’t hold back her tears.
Amelia let out a loud cry, as if she wanted to cry out all of the grievances over the past few years. The three little boys, Harper, Lucas, and William were lying at the door. When they heard Amelia’s cries, they quietly ran back to their rooms. Indeed, all little sisters liked to cry, how annoying! They did not want a little sister like this!
In Emma’s room, Sarah was furious when she saw that her precious daughter’s arm was scratched. At this moment, Dylan walked in and said, “Go apologize to Mia.”
Sarah was instantly enraged. She threw the wet towel on the ground. “Dylan, how can you be a father like this? Our daughter is being bullied now. Look at Emma. Her eyes are swollen from crying, and her arms are covered in blood!”
Dylan laughed coldly. “If she doesn’t s.n.a.t.c.h other people’s things, will she be
When Emma heard this, she cried even harder. Dylan was silent and did not speak much. When he heard the cries, he became even more frustrated and turned to leave. All along, Dylan and Sarah’s relationship as husband and wife had not been good. Back then, after the accidental relationship between the two of them, Sarah got pregnant. Although he did not have any feelings for Sarah, he was still responsible. It was only when his daughter, Emma, was born that he found out that what happened back then was planned by Sarah. At that time, he had proposed a divorce, but Sarah refused. Sarah’s mother had always used the excuse of having a child to prevent the two of them from getting a divorce. At that time, it was when her younger sister, Helena, was missing. The Walton family was exhausted looking for Helena, and Dylan’s divorce was delayed.
At this moment, Sarah was very sad. What did she do wrong? Was it wrong to feel sorry for her child and protect her child?
In Amelia’s room, Seven was curled up in Amelia’s arms, and Amelia was curled up in Old Madam Walton’s arms. Seven had just arrived at a new place, and he hadn’t even gotten used to it yet, before he was almost smashed to death. Amelia felt a little sad as she looked at Seven, she felt that she didn’t properly protect Seven..
