Hannah, with her snake-like heart, always wore a gentle mask, but Ella was tired of playing along. She decided to snap back at her.
Hannah put on a hurt expression. "Sister, why do you say that? I was just curious."
"Don't bother your sister when she's in a bad mood," Brianna said mildly, glancing at Hannah. Though she wanted to reprimand Ella, she held back.
"Daddy, I'm not in a good mood today, so don't laugh at me!" Ella playfully winked at Robert, who was having breakfast.
Robert chuckled softly. The small squabbles between women didn't concern him.
"Alright, alright, I get it. Go out and have some fun. If you run out of money, I'll have more sent to you next month."
Because of the previous incident, Robert was particularly indulgent with Ella. It wasn't a favor born of obligation but genuine affection.
