Lauren took a deep breath when we stepped out of the door. With a mischievous grin, she remarked, "My mission is finally accomplished! I can finally go home and get a good night's sleep. If I endure this any longer, I might get high blood pressure."
"Oh my goodness, a volcano just erupted." I stuck out my tongue in response.
Atlas reached for Ava, who widened her eyes in disbelief. She asked Atlas, "Daddy, what happened to Aunt Ivanna? Why is she yelling so loudly? I'm afraid. Is she going crazy?"
Her question left us adults trying hard not to burst into laughter. Fortunately, the elevator arrived, and we quickly stepped inside.
Ava, still studying Atlas's face, curiously inquired, "Daddy, why is she so angry? Did that man make a mistake?"
Atlas smiled at Ava and explained, "Our little sweetheart is brilliant. Yes, that man made a mistake, and Aunt Ivanna doesn't want to forgive him, so she got mad."
Ava looked astonished and said, "Will they fight if we leave? What if they keep fighting?"
Atlas shook his head confidently. "No, the man is responsible. He admitted his mistake, so once he does that, your Aunt Ivanna won't be mad anymore."
Relieved, Ava earnestly told Atlas, "Daddy, just don't make Mommy angry. It's too scary."
With a captivating smile, Atlas assured, "Daddy will absolutely not make Mommy angry. Even if I do, Mommy won't stay angry."
After leaving Ivanna's house, Lauren looked at Atlas and said, "Mr. Atlas, you played a pivotal role this time. Now Chlo and I are liberated."
"Yeah. The thing is, I don't want Chlo to punish me." Atlas said, causing Ava to inquire, "Why would Mommy punish you? Is she bullying you again?”
Both Lauren and I chuckled helplessly.
I asked, "When did I bully him?"
Ava chuckled and asked, "Daddy said you would punish him. Are you not bullying him? How could Daddy do something wrong? I don't believe it, and even Jenny doesn't."
Then she looked at Jenny, her voice sweet and innocent, asking, "Jenny, do you believe that my Daddy did anything wrong?”
Without hesitation, Jenny said, "No, I don't believe it either."
