Little Nina frowned. "My godfather and my mom are just friends. He isn't my stepdad. Besides, my real dad passed away."

Susan's face filled with sympathy as she reached for Nina's hand. "I'm sorry! Please don't be sad. Even if your real dad is gone, your godfather is so tall and handsome! If my mom could find me such a good-looking godfather, I wouldn't mind if my dad was gone either!"

Little Nina: "...?"

Although she couldn't quite follow Susan's logic, she still felt the need to clarify. "Even though my dad died, I'm not sad at all. There are lots of people who love me-my mom, my godfather, my grandparents, and Mr. Ellsworth! They all care about me so much. I'm really okay!"
