Vincent clenched his fists tightly watching his daughter's action then sighed, cleaning his feet on the door mat, he went over and squatted to Anna's level.
"Princess you clearly look sleepy, why don't you just go instead and get some rest instead." Vincent cooed, he wanted to hug her but due to the fact he is soaked with water and smudged with mud he couldn't.
