"No... I am not, he is daddy... I can smell daddy's scent from him..." Cecilia struggled out of Charlotte's hold with enough strength that Charlotte found it hard to keep her in her embrace.
Both mother and duo wrestled and struggled as the wooden floors beneath them let out occasional protests.
Eventually, both sides reached a standstill, but Charlotte lost her balance.
"Ah!"
She exclaimed.
But Calvin had already reacted.
He stretched his hand out and took Cecilia before Charlotte could fall onto the ground.
Thud!
A dull thud rang out.
Calvin may have managed to rescue Cecilia in time, but it was too late for him to do anything about Charlotte.
She fell onto the ground and moaned in pain.
"Oww..."
She huffed and puffed as she rubbed her elbows that collided against the muddy floor.
Raising her head to look at Cecilia, she noticed that the little girl was still pouting.
