Attracted By My Ex-wife

Everyone looked at Paula's finger and saw droplets of blood oozing out.

In the past, Rose only cared about Kevin. She paid no attention to her daughter, for her mere existence had disgusted her.

Rose wanted to make up for her mistakes, so she showered her daughter with love and took extra care of her.

She kissed Paula's fingertip and smiled at her. "Paula, Sally didn't bully you. Didn't you ask her for the flower? She gave it to you because you liked it. My poor baby's finger is bleeding. Mommy will put a bandage and make the pain go away."

Anne sighed. Children of the same age had fights and conflicts. Moreover, Sally had been on her best behavior; she didn't bully Paula.

No one saw the thorn on the flower. It was a mere accident.

"Mom, I don't like to play with Paula. I didn't bully her. She is blaming me for no reason!" Sally whined. Everyone adored Sally at home. However, now they were at Paula's house. Sally had only fulfilled the little girl's wish by giving her the flower, but her reaction hurt her.

Anne kneeled down and wiped the tears on Sally's face. "Sally, Paula is your cousin, and she is the youngest one." She smiled. "That's very kind of you to give her the flower. You have done a good job, honey. I'm proud of you.

She is still a little girl and doesn't understand people's intentions. That's why she has misunderstood you, Sally. Being the elder cousin, you've got to be more generous and forgiving."

Sally frowned and looked at Paula. She was in her mother's arms, biting her bottom lip.

Sally looked away. She didn't like Paula and didn't want to play with her.

Both Anne and Rose were tired of dealing with kids. They were too young to listen to their parents.

"Rose, Paula's finger is still bleeding. Take her home and apply some ointment," Anne suggested.

Rose nodded and left with Paula in her arms.

Kevin and Mark exchanged glances, shaking their heads helplessly. Understanding children's behavior was beyond their comprehension, so they didn't bother interfering in the problem.

Fathers were always fond of their daughters, and Kevin was no exception. He loved Sally; the tears in her eyes broke his heart. Kevin swept his daughter in his arms and smiled. "Our little princess has been wronged, huh? Play with me, okay?" He flicked her nose playfully.

Sally wrapped her arms around his neck and nodded. Kevin smiled at Anne and began to play with the children.

Mark and Anne smiled at him in return and sat back in their chairs.

"Children at this age are the happiest. They don't have a care in the world." Mark took a sip of his juice and watched them play.

Children enjoyed every moment of their day, oblivious to the fact that they were creating everlasting memories.

Anne sighed and nodded. Just then, Rose walked out of the house with Paula in her arms.

Mark waved, gesturing for her to come over. He saw Paula's bloodshot eyes and smiled. "Naughty girl, why are you crying?"
