“So you've forgotten everything I ever told you?”
Well, Alice was really disappointed. Although Jack had lowered his head and looked so pitiful that it was hard to reprimand him, Alice knew, if this time she did not scold him, he would do it again.
So her tone did not become gentle because of his bow, but more and more harsh.
“What if he is a bad person? You are only a five years old child, if really you are caught by the bad guys, do you have the ability to fight back? What should I if that happens?”
Her imagination was good and in the end, she could even imagine the picture Jack got hurt. So her eyes grew read and her voice was tremble.
Jack who had been lowering his head heard that, he finally realized the seriousness of things.
He looked up and saw his mother's eyes were red.
He felt guilty and panic, and quickly went up to grab Alice's hand.
“Mommy, I am wrong. Mommy, don't be mad at me, ok?”
Seeing that he was panic, Alice felt sour in her nose, she was really angry this time.
She had to guard against Manfred and Kennedy.
But Jack went out with Manfred. She had told him before, but he was so disobedient this time.
“Don't you hold my hand.” Alice shook off his hand and did not want to pay attention to him.
Jack immediately pouted and at this time, the elevator’s door was opened, Alice directly got out.
Jack could only keep up quickly.
“Mommy, don't be angry, I really know I was wrong.”
Alice bent down to press the password, ignored the little guy behind.
She opened the door, and though she was very angry, she leaned over to let Jack in. Jack probably knew her idea, so he quickly ducked in.
Bang!
After the door closed, Alice changed her shoes in the porch, and then sat on the sofa in the living room, saying no words.
Seeing that, Jack knew he was in trouble.
Alice was seldom angry with him, even would not scold him, but she was angry for so long today. Something was very serious.
Jack was sad. He was angry at himself, so walked toward Alice, but then he turned to the kitchen.
About two minutes later, Jack walked out with a glass of juice.
Jack gave the fruit juice to Alice, “Mommy, drink a cup of fruit juice to relieve your anger.”
Alice sat there holding the pillow without expression. Hearing that, she did not move and even not give him a look.
“Mommy, Mommy... Take a look at me. This is the juice that I just poured for you. Even if you don’t want to look at me, take a look at the juice.”
Jack was cheeky. He was not discouraged because Alice ignored him, but got close to Alice and leaned on her legs, poking her with his soft hands.
In fact, Alice's anger had disappeared half, but if she paid attention to Jack, Jack would thought it was just a joke and would do it again.
