Hearing this, Violet's smile froze suddenly.
Calvin also lowered his eyelids sadly.
Violet first looked down at the crying daughter, and then at Stanley, who looked obviously complicated outside the door, and asked, "Mr. Murphy, did something happen to Arya?"
Stanley nodded slightly. He did not hide from her, and told what had happened in the kindergarten.
After Violet listened, she was trembling with anger.
She squatted down, hugged Arya and Calvin tightly in her arms, and said with guilt and distress, "Baby, don't take these words to heart. You are not bastards. You also have Dad."
"Then where is our Dad? Why did he abandon us!" Arya looked up with her tearful face and asked.
Stanley also looked at Violet, wanting to know the answer.
Even Calvin stared at Violet.
Although Mommy said that their biological father would have a new family in the future, and he also promised Mommy that he would not recognize his father, but he never gave up the idea of wanting to know who their father was and where he was.
Because he wanted to figure out why Dad abandoned Mommy!
Facing the expectant gaze of her children, Violet opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer, so she touched Arya's head, "Mommy doesn't know either."
She was lying!
Stanley squinted his eyes, and immediately saw that she was not telling the truth.
Arya cried again, held Violet's collar tightly with her two small hands, buried her head in Violet’s arms and cried very loudly, "I want Dad...I want Dad!"
Listening to her daughter's sad crying, Violet's heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and it was so painful.
At this moment, Calvin clenched his fists hand and looked at Violet calmly, "Mommy, do you know why Arya wants Dad so much?"
Violet was about to answer.
Calvin said first, "Because this is not the first time for Arya to hear other children say that we don't have Dad."
"What?" Violet's face changed drastically, and her eyes widened.
Stanley was shocked, and he pursed his lips.
Calvin lightly patted Arya on the back, "When we were abroad, other children were picked up by their parents. We didn’t. Other children would show off where their Dad took them to play. We still didn’t. The kids said we don’t have Dad."
Violet shivered and almost fainted.
Stanley walked behind her and stretched out his hand to help her, so that she didn't fall down.
"Why do you never tell your Mommy?" Stanley looked at Calvin and asked.
Violet wanted to know the reason. She took Calvin's hand, "Yes, Calvin, why didn't you tell me?"
Calvin lowered his head, "Because Mommy has already raised us up. She’s tired. We don't want to make Mommy feel sad for us anymore."
Hearing that, Violet didn’t feel happy for the thoughtfulness of the two children, but felt deeply ashamed.
It turned out that when she didn't know, her two children had been bullied like this, but they didn’t tell her.
If it wasn't that what those children said was more serious than that of those foreign children and Arya couldn't help but asked her for Dad, maybe Violet still wouldn't know that the two children were bullied like this.
Thinking of this, Violet blamed herself, touched the heads of the two children, and apologized constantly, "I'm sorry, sweeties. I'm sorry..."
Listening to her apology, the two children couldn’t stand it anymore. They cried.
