âGood, donât cry, donât cry, here, baby, have a drink.â
Then, a womanâs voice whispered, âWhatâs wrong with the baby?â
âNothing, just hungry, drinking now, you go back to sleep,â The voice was so gentle that it seemed like it could melt.
Of course, the subordinate on the other end of the phone felt shocked and overwhelmed.
Can he really believe what heâs hearing?
âQuickly, whatâs the matter so late at night?â Mickâs voice became cold again.
The subordinate finally regained his senses and reported the emergency situation, waiting for his bossâs instructions..
After the call ended, the subordinate felt like he had just had a dream.
Even the Reed family was surprised by Mickâs transformation.
After all, it was hard to imagine the cold-faced Mick taking care of a child.
Mason and Veronica also often brought their daughter to the Reed House.
Their daughter Pearl is now three years old. Every time she comes to the Reed family mansion, she likes to squat next to Sophia and look at the little sister from left to right.
She even touches the little sister with her hand, imitating the adults, gently patting her when the baby cries, and occasionally saying, âGood girl, donât cry, little sister.â
Itâs very amusing to the adults.
Pearl even solemnly tells Mason and Veronica, âIâm going to be a big sister in the future, and I will protect my little sister!â
âAre you sure you can protect your little sister?â Veronica chuckled.
The little one lowered his head, as if thinking hard, and then said, âIâm still too young now, so Mommy and Daddy help me protect my sister. When I grow up, Iâll be able to protect her myself.â
âWhat would you do if someone bullied your little sister when you grow up?â Veronica asked.
â
âI would reason with him,â Pearl replied seriously.
âWhat if he doesnât listen to reason?â Jasper asked on the side.
Pearl raised her little fist, âIâll show him how tough I am! Auntie, Iâm really tough!â
As she spoke, she even demonstrated a few moves. It was quite impressive.
Jasper glanced at the little one and turned to Veronica, whispering, âDid Pearl deliberately learn these moves from someone?â
âNo, she didnât deliberately learn them. Sometimes Mason tells Pearl how to fight back if sheâs ever bullied by other kids,â Veronica said.
âI see. Can youâ¦uh, understand Pearlâs moves?â Jasper asked cautiously.
âSheâs just a child, her strokes are messy. Is there anything special about it? But I think itâs good for girls to know some self-defense moves, so they wonât be defenseless if they encounter a bully,â Veronica said.
âHas she ever used these moves against any other kids?â Jasper continued to ask.
âNo, Mason told her not to use them unless itâs absolutely necessary. And so far, there havenât been any bullies around her. She gets along well with other kids in kindergarten,â Veronica said.
Jasper breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Although she had only learned a few basic moves, it didnât stop her from having a good eye.
Mason teaching Pearl these moves was not just for self-defense. It was more than thatâ¦if anyone dared to bully Pearl, they would be in big trouble.
