Upon hearing that Amelia and Ellison had come home, Patrick and his daughter, who were watching the news, turned their eyes to look at them at the same time.
"Mommy!" The next second, a three-year-old girl slid down from the sofa and ran over to Amelia. Her two braids were swinging back and forth, cute and lively.
This was her and Patrick's youngest daughter, Ciara.
"Ciara." Amelia squatted down, caught her daughter's little body, and asked softly, "Did you behave well in kindergarten today?"
"Yes, yes, I took the initiative to raise my hand and answer the questions on the blackboard. The teacher rewarded me with a little red flower."
Ciara finished her childish words and puffed out her small chest. "Look, Mommy."
Amelia took a closer look and saw that there was an eye- catching little red flower on Ciara's chest. The child cherished it and placed it in the most conspicuous position.
Amelia touched her little daughter's head and praised, "Our Ciara is the best!"
As a result, because of Amelia's words, Ciara's little red flower disappeared the next day.
This was discovered by Ciara when she was about to go to school. She was so anxious that she burst into tears. "Boohoo... Where is my little red flower? Where is my little red flower?"
Seeing this, Amelia immediately picked her up and coaxed her, "Ciara, don't worry. Yesterday, mommy saw you put the little red flower on your school bag. Let's look for it and see if it fell near the schoolbag, okay?"
Ciara put her hands on Amelia's shoulder and shook her head in a daze. "Mommy, I've looked everywhere but I didn't find it!"
"How could it be?" Amelia thought for a moment and said, "Did Anya accidentally sweep it away when she came to clean your room last night?"
Ever since Anya came to work at their house, she had been working until now. When Ellison and Ciara saw her, they had to call her "Anya".
Ciara shook her head again. "I told Anya last night that it was a little red flower gifted to me by the teacher, so Anya was very careful and she did not touch it."
"Well..." Just as Amelia was about to say something, Patrick suddenly took Ellison's collar and walked in from the door.
Amelia hurriedly said, "Mr. Hopper, you came at the right time! Ciara's little red flower suddenly disappeared. Can you find a way to find it?"
"I think it's better to ask this boy," Patrick said as he lowered his head to look at Ellison.
Ellison was held by the collar, just like a cat that was seized by fate. It was impossible for him to run away, so he could only accept the baptism of the eyes of his family members.
After a while, he raised his head and faced his dying life. "Daddy, how would I know?" Patrick said, "You have been eavesdropping at the door for a long time, and you didn't even know when I came to you. Also, why did you keep your left hand in your pocket? Take it out."
"Cicily?” Amelia's expression changed. Could it be...
As soon as Ellison was called out by his mommy, he immediately wilted. He was not afraid of his daddy's iron fists, but he was afraid of his mommy's disappointment. He took out his left hand from his pocket and held the little red flower that Ciara had been longing for.
Under Amelia's shocked gaze, Ellison admitted awkwardly, "I sneaked into her room to take the little red flower when my sister was not paying attention this morning."
"Ah! Mommy, it's the little red flower!" Ciara was still young, so she didn't pay much attention to the adults. She shook Amelia’s neck and smiled through tears. "My little red flower is back!"
"Okay." Amelia forced a smile, put Ciara on the ground, and said, "Go and get your little red flower back. Then go to find Liam and ask him to take you to school. Daddy and Mommy have something to say to your brother."
Liam was a driver at home. If there was no special situation, he would be responsible for taking the two children to and from school every day.
"Okay," Ciara responded and quickly ran to Ellison. She raised her small face and asked, "Brother, do you like my little red flower?"
