"Loupie, are you now ready to go home?"
"Yes, daddy! But..."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"It's only Penelope and daddy, right?"
"What do you mean, my princess?"
"Madam Amanda and sister Emilia will not be there, right? Penelope doesn't want to see them again."
Clementine stops his hand from putting a scarf around Penelope's neck. His daughter is looking at him with her misty round eyes. With her bulging cheeks and pouty lips, it looks like his cute daughter was bullied behind his back and she is just enduring it. With a sigh, Clementine pulls his daughter closer to him and gives her a gentle hug.
"Loupie, no one will try to bully you again. Daddy is really sorry that he almost lost you. I promise not to do the same mistake again. Can you forgive me?" Clementine softly said.
"But daddy did nothing wrong to Penelope."
