Chapter 843: Chapter 822: Dad, I Want to Apologize!

Lina Miller frowned as she touched her crying and truly aggrieved daughter, speaking with clear displeasure, "It’s rude to cry without understanding the situation, do you understand that?"

"A baby who just cries without understanding that Auntie was joking isn’t a good baby. You should learn from Sister Bianca and be a sensible, thoughtful little darling. Do you really need to hear it from someone else whether Daddy wants you or not? Can’t you feel it in your heart?"

Upon hearing these words, the crying of Nana Jensen abruptly stopped, and her face, which was just filled with grievance, instantly turned into one of embarrassment.

"Mommy, I’m sorry, I was wrong!" she said while dutifully taking a tissue from the nearby tissue box, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Daddy loves me very much, he naturally wouldn’t leave me!"

In contrast to Lina Miller, who was a strict mother, Mario Jensen was the embodiment of a tender father, whose paternal instinct was to spoil his daughter. Especially with the example of Michael Gordon, who spared no limits in doting on his daughter, Mario Jensen would have given his heart for his little treasure to play with if he could.

Nana Jensen, hearing Lina Miller’s stern questioning, suddenly remembered all the nice things Mario Jensen did for her on normal days!

"You haven’t let Mommy down, but you did let down Daddy’s love for you!" Lina Miller’s face showed not a hint of comfort at her daughter’s well-behaved reply, but remained calm and serious, watching her daughter as if ready to deliver a lesson, "And about Aunt Madeline, it was just a joke, and yet you cried so loudly that you scared the baby in Auntie’s belly. So, now you apologize to Auntie, and when we get home, you will apologize to Daddy!"

"Okay, Mommy!" Nora looked up with her bright, dark eyes at Lina Miller before turning to Sienna Harrison, saying earnestly, "I’m sorry, Aunt Madeline, it was my fault for frightening your baby!"

"No, no, it’s not your fault. It’s Auntie who should be sorry. I shouldn’t have joked with you, forgetting that you’re still just a little one who doesn’t get jokes between adults!" Sienna Harrison hardly felt right accepting Nora’s apology, as she was on the verge of being a mother herself and realized she needed to moderate her playful nature, "So the person who should apologize is me, Nora, if you forgive Auntie that’s good enough!"

After hearing Sienna Harrison’s words, Nana Jensen became even more curious and puzzled. She thought she was the one who was wrong because that’s what her mother said, so why did Aunt Madeline also say she was wrong!

"Mommy, is Aunt Madeline joking now?"

Clearly, a two-year-old child doesn’t understand what a joke is and what is serious, particularly when they are in the strongest mimicry phase of their growth, which left Sienna Harrison’s word causing Nana Jensen great confusion!

"Aunt Madeline isn’t joking with you, Aunt Madeline is just being polite with you. That’s called being courteous, dear, do you understand?" Lina Miller explained firmly while giving Sienna Harrison a hard nudge of the eyes, signaling her not to deny it.

"Okay, Mommy, I understand!"

After hearing Lina Miller’s words, Nana Jensen nodded seriously. Her small legs were still unsteady as she walked, but she hurriedly trotted over to Sienna Harrison, and, mimicking the TV series, bowed deeply and said sorry. Sienna Harrison followed Lina Miller’s wishes, responding with a cheerful smile but feeling deep regret inside!

After apologizing to Sienna Harrison, Nana Jensen lifted her large, round eyes to Lina Miller, seemingly gathering the courage to ask, "Mommy, can we not tell Daddy about this?"

At the end, she added one more line, "Dad loves me so much, if he knew I was doubting his love for me, he would be very sad. Anyway, he didn’t hear what I said, so, Mom, could you please not tell Dad about this?"

Almost all the women present nodded in agreement with what little Nora had said, reasoning that a white lie represents the deepest love. At such a young age, Nora understood this, which should be said to be very sensible!

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Lina Miller decisively gave a two-word answer:

"No way!"

Hearing her mother’s stern refusal, the two-year-old Nora instantly hung her head low in dismay, her dejected appearance nearly melted Ivy Aretha’s heart, and she was just about to interject to stop Lina Miller’s stern tone.

"Nora, haven’t I taught you that you have to be honest? And how can honesty only be lip service? The things you have done and the words you have said already exist. Whether someone hears them or not, it doesn’t change the fact. Since they’ve objectively happened, how can you pretend they didn’t happen!"

Lina Miller reached out and picked up Nora, who was standing in front of her with her head hung low, and then gently kissed her on the cheek, "Baby, just talk honestly to Daddy, and he’ll be more than happy because our Nora knows to be brave enough to accept responsibility. If you are honest with others, only then can you expect honesty and respect from others in return!"

"Okay, Mommy, I understand. When Daddy comes to pick us up later, I’ll apologize to him. Daddy loves me so much; he will definitely forgive me!"

"Of course!"

Just a moment ago, Nora was feeling wronged and gloomy, but now her face lit up with joy, as if the whole previous scene had been turned over. Ivy Aretha had a newfound respect for Lina Miller’s educational approach. She recalled that when she taught Bianca, she never took such a childlike approach.

Her communication style was completely that of an adult speaking to another adult, which, although it made Bella Gordon sensible from a young age, as she grew up, this kind of sensibility became so intense that it almost pained Ivy herself, and it wasn’t something a child should carry. Michael Gordon had always felt that Bella’s precocity was due to the absence of a father before she was five, always carrying this reason on his shoulders.

Only now did Ivy Aretha realize that her own educational approach had been too mature, like, for instance, she might tell Nora now that a white lie is also a form of love, then proceed to teach her a great deal about how to differentiate which lies were meant kindly!

But she overlooked an important point: at this age, little girls only need to learn about honesty. Understanding kindness and differentiating lies are too difficult for a two-year-old!

Thank goodness her own darling daughter had such a strong capacity for understanding; otherwise, if Ivy had continued with her adult teaching approach, she wouldn’t have raised a precocious child but one who couldn’t even grasp clear values.

The door opened, and Fabian Nala came in. As soon as Nora saw her father, she toddled swiftly over to Fabian Nala. The man had just entered when he saw his darling daughter running over to him, and he reached out and scooped her into his arms with a kiss.

"Daddy, I need to apologize to you!"
