"And why am I weird?" Vernon asked.
"Uncle Vernon is so mean to Mommy, but Uncle also likes to eat Mommy's pancake," Mackie commented. Her legs flailed under the table, happily munching the homemade fluffy pancake. "Mommy's cooking is so delicious. Uncle must've liked it, right?"
"It's tolerable," Vernon replied. He sipped the smoothie from a big straw, and his lips tightened for a moment.
"Then why are you so mean to Mommy? Mackie won't let you hurt Mommy!" Mackie said seriously, her doe eyes beamed with determination, ready to protect her precious mom.
"Heh, you need to grow up first if you want to protect her from me," Vernon smirked and looked at Mackie with a mischievous gaze.
For a split second, Mackie thought she saw Uncle Vernon with wolf ears, like a big bad wolf!
"U—Uncle is like a big bad wolf! Mackie will protect Mommy from you!"
