My Love, Enlighten me

Gloria Taylor squeezed the toothpaste out to brush her teeth while paying attention to Tina Clarke.

Tina Clarke brushed her teeth until the toothpaste bubbled up and then, she spitted it out.

Gloria Taylor softened watching the little girl standing on the stool brushing her teeth.

She was so obedient.

Kenny Clarke must have taught her so well that Tina Clarke was this obedient.

She couldn’t help feeling distracted.

Compared to her, Kenny Clarke did more to Tina Clarke.

If Kenny Clarke was more arrogant than he already was, it would be impossible for him to let her in just because Tina Clarke liked her.

He could just ignore and give her no chance.

“Mom, you have to spit it out like this.”

Tina Clarke’s voice brought her back to her senses.

When she looked down, Tina Clarke put in a mouthful of water to rinse her mouth and spitted it out.

Tina Clarke asked her curiously with a pair of big eyes, “Can you spit it out like this?”

“I can.” Gloria Taylor nodded.

“Do it, then.” Tina Clarke didn’t seem to believe her words. She kept staring at her.

Gloria Taylor had to cooperate and gargle the way Tina Clarke did.

Tina Clarke patted her arm, “Great!”

“……” Gloria Taylor said happily, “Really? You did it better than me!”

Tina Clarke was embarrassed. She smiled and jumped off the stool to fiddle with her hairpins.
