Belinda didn’t like to apologize.
Grandpa and Grandma always said that princesses never need to apologize.
“I didn’t do anything wrong, wasn’t it you who said…”
“Belinda doesn’t want to apologize because she’s still angry, Fred, don’t be so serious.”
Helena hurriedly interrupted Belinda, her heart almost leaping into her throat.
She was terrified that Belinda would say it was something she learned from her.
Actually, she hadn’t meant to teach Belinda anything bad.
It was just that when Natalia was mentioned, she accidentally let the word “bastard” slip, and who would have thought Belinda would remember it.
“Fred, why don’t you try coaxing Belinda?”
Wilfred’s expression softened a little, but his gaze at Belinda remained stern.
“You’re only five years old. You can’t get involved in adult matters, and you must never call anyone a bastard again. Do you understand?”
Belinda snorted coldly.
Wilfred grew angry, his voice rising: “What kind of attitude is that?”
Belinda was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became emotional:
“Daddy is yelling at me. Daddy never yelled at me before. I don’t like Daddy anymore,
boohoo.”
Belinda ran out crying.
Wilfred’s surprised expression seemed frozen in that instant.
In the past, it was always Josephine who handled lecturing Belinda.

Josephine would point out Belinda’s mistakes and have her correct them.
If Belinda got upset or felt bad, he would pick her up and comfort her, then say lightly:
“She’s a child, not a miniature adult. Why are you being so strict with her?”
“Because all of you are scrambling to play the good guy.”
A complicated emotion flashed in Wilfred’s eyes. Now he understood Josephine’s helplessness back then…
Belinda went to the vegetable garden to complain to Zoey.
Zoey couldn’t stand Helena and had long wanted to quit.
So, regardless of whether Belinda would repeat it, she told her the story she made up.
“In the forest, there was a little hedgehog who didn’t like her mother because she was covered in prickles. Then a gentle and lovely fox came to their home. The fox was full of tricks and could make people happy. The little hedgehog liked her at first sight, so she and the fox drove her mother away together.”
“After the little hedgehog’s mother left home, the fox’s true colors showed. It turned out she wasn’t nice to the little hedgehog because she liked her, but because she wanted the little hedgehog’s father. She taught the little hedgehog to be hated by everyone, and in the end, the little hedgehog was also driven out by the fox. And the hedgehog mother, whose heart was broken by her child, didn’t want her anymore either…”
Belinda was a smart child.
Helena had taught her to “let others do things for you,” and she understood and applied it after just one lesson.
So she also understood the story Zoey told.
Was Zoey implying that Auntie Helena would teach her to be hated by everyone?
Impossible. Everyone in this family liked Auntie Helena.
Except for Mommy!
Belinda spoke up for Helena: “Auntie Helena isn’t a fox. She’s a rabbit, or a little deer.”
Zoey just shook her head at Belinda.

Not far away, the plumber fixing the irrigation system overheard Zoey’s story.
He agreed with Zoey–Helena was indeed a scheming fox.
She pretended to be kind to get close to him, used him, forced Josephine to go to Zachery’s home to take a bath, and then took photos…
Who knows what she did with those photos?!
***
Opal Heights.
Josephine, Zachery, and Natalia were having dinner at the buffet restaurant.
Zachery asked Josephine:
“When can you spare two days so I can take you to that place where you can feel happiness in just twenty minutes?”
Josephine was surprised: “Are you serious?”
Back at the police station, she thought Zachery was just saying it to comfort her.
