"The girl even scrubs Brother Finn's back for him... Don't you think they're too intimate? Do you think Brother Finn likes her?" Sis Two said.
Angelina's complexion paled when she heard what they said.
Although Finn and Tammy were not in a romantic relationship yet, she could tell that Finn treated Tammy differently. There was an amorous look in his eyes when he looked at Tammy.
Baby Zetty was extremely precocious and sentimental. She must have figured out what was going on.
No wonder the child was so heartbroken.
"What was Baby Zetty's reaction?" Angeline asked with unease.
She feared that Baby Zetty had lost control of her emotions after being unable to accept it, like all the previous times. If she behaved irrationally again, Jay would certainly get mad.
Big Sis replied, "After Sis Zetty eavesdropped on their conversation, she walked out to greet them and left."
Angeline was stunned.
She thought Baby Zetty would quarrel with Finn, but what took her by surprise was that Baby Zetty had instead chosen to swallow her grievances all by herself. This was simply too heartbreaking.
However, her sudden maturity was probably a result o f her fear for her father's overbearing demeanor.
Jay, Jenson, and Baby Bobbie came home in the evening.
Jay did not see Baby Zetty and felt especially concerned about his daughter. "Where's Baby Zetty?"
Angeline felt sorry for her daughter and glared bitterly at Jay, very subtly taking her anger out on him.
Jay’s eyes darkened and he quickly sat down next to Angeline. He took her hand and asked aggrievedly," What did I do wrong this time?"
Angeline was downcast. "Baby Zetty knows about Finn and Tammy. She locked herself in the bedroom a s soon as she got home. I can't get her to come out no matter how I try."
