Rosie was a clever child.
Under such circumstances, it was her fortune that Leonardo did not punish her. So, she did not dare to expect Leonardo to bring her down. However, her legs were too short. She stretched them out to feel the ground, but it was out of her reach.
She turned around and quietly looked at Leonardo, only to find that Leonardo was staring at her, which was a little awkward.
Rosie blinked her eyes and weakly called out, "Daddy..."
Leonardo got Rosie down with one hand.
Rosie, who got down to the ground, heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she spoke like an adult, "Don't worry, I won't tell Mommy that you cried."
Rosie had gone through many bad things, but after living with Summer for so long, she gradually became lively again.
That was a good thing. It seemed everything was getting better.
Leonardo thought so. He reached out and caressed Rosie's head, and his tone was plain, "Nagging."
Rosie stretched out her hand to fiddle with her bangs and looked up at Leonardo.
Because Leonardo was too tall and the height difference between them was too great, Rosie looked up with some difficulty, and asked, "Mommy is awake. Why do you still look unhappy?"
Leonardo looked down at her and said, "I'm very happy."
Rosie curled her lips and said, "Liar."
After a moment of silence, Leonardo asked, "Do I look upset?"
"Yes." Rosie nodded and pointed at the space between his eyebrows, "You've been frowning."
Leonardo reached out and pressed there. Suddenly, Carl's voice sounded, "Leonardo, why did it take you so long to wash Rosie's face?"
Because he just went to wash Rosie's face, Leonardo did not close the door to the bathroom.
As soon as Carl entered, he saw Leonardo and Rosie staring at him. He was astounded and said, "You didn't come out for so long, so they asked me to see what you are doing."
