Gem Atkinson called for his "baby" and hurriedly followed.
However, the little girl had locked the door.
Forsythia Brown and Yigol Foster both laughed unscrupulously, leaning back into the sofa. Clive just sat quietly, picking up a book and pretending not to notice or hear anything.
Gem Atkinson glared at Forsythia Brown and Yigol Foster, then turned to the bedroom door. As he knocked, he said: "Baby, daddy was wrong. Open the door. Daddy will write a new IOU for you."
The bedroom was very quiet, and his little baby didn't make any noise.
Gem Atkinson continued to knock and speak sweetly, but there was still no response from inside.
He pressed his ear against the door and listened carefully. Some faint noise seemed to come from inside, but it wasn't very clear.
If he hadn't actually angered his little baby, he would have definitely used a key to open the door directly. But his little baby was still angry, and he didn't want to provoke her further.
