Chapter 970 - 938: My Daughter Is Growing Up (3)
Is it right to spoil a daughter?
A five-year-old child playing with diamonds as if they were stones, she’s the only child in the family, and everyone dotes on her. Because she’s pretty, boys like her too... Sienna Johnson really fears that Curly will turn into another Sabrina Johnson!
Sienna Johnson got tired from walking and sat on a stone bench.
Seeing this, Sally walked over and said, "Madam, the stone bench is cold, I’ll get you a cushion."
"No need, I’m not that delicate."
"Madam, don’t be mad at Sixth Master. He’s just too fond of Curly." Sally didn’t know how to advise.
Sienna Johnson understood more than anyone about what it means to have principles. She’s a very rational and gentle person, and as long as others don’t cross her bottom line, she won’t lose her temper.
"Sally, you don’t have children yet. If you did, you’d understand why I’m so angry today.
There are no parents in the world who don’t love their children.
But what is true love?
Parents love their children by planning for their long-term future. I love her, so when she does something wrong, I’ll scold her, I’ll hit her, I’ll get mad and angry when she’s stubborn and willful..."
Sienna Johnson suddenly stopped talking, and Sally carefully watched Sienna Johnson’s expression, unable to figure out what she was thinking.
"Madam, I’ll definitely remember what you just said. When I have children, I’ll teach them the same way."
"Then you’ll definitely be an annoying mother."
"How could that be? How could children hate their parents?"
"Some do." Like her, she used to dislike Pauline Briggs, and Pauline didn’t like her either.
Although the mother and daughter had reconciled, the rift still existed. She and Pauline Briggs could never be as close as Leanne Andrews and Mother Andrews.
Adrian Desmond came over, and just as Sally was about to speak, Adrian waved her away.
He walked behind Sienna Johnson, massaging her neck, but she evaded him. He bent over and embraced her.
"Still mad?"
"..."
"Such a small matter, and you’re this angry?"
"Don’t worry, from now on, I won’t care. You two do whatever you want." Sienna Johnson said angrily.
"You’re just saying that in anger."
"I’m serious!"
"Even though you look beautiful when you cry, it pains my heart when you do, so can you stop crying?"
Sienna Johnson punched Adrian in the chest, "Every time, you play the good guy, and I play the bad one. Curly only likes you now and must hate me to death."
"Who said that?"
"I did."
"You’re wrong."
Adrian turned her face to look at her tears, laughing, "Curly and I anxiously came home, thinking we’d get scolded to tears, but you’re the one who cried."
Sienna Johnson glared at him, aggrieved, "You keep coaxing her, indulging her, winning her over, and I’m always the villain.
She hates me to death now."
"Mrs. Desmond, why do I feel you’re jealous?"
"Yes, I’m jealous."
"..."
"Children don’t understand; whoever gives them candy, they like. But I’m her mother, and too much candy causes cavities, so I definitely won’t let her eat it.
I take the candy from her hands. She likes you for giving her candy and hates me for taking it away."
Sienna Johnson had a poor relationship with Pauline Briggs, so once she had a daughter, she always wanted to be close with her daughter. She had high standards, Curly was defiant, and they argued more often.
Adrian circled around, sat beside her on the stone bench; it was early autumn, the night air was getting chilly, and Adrian, worried she’d get cold, made her sit on his lap.
"Don’t touch me!"
"The bench is cold. What if you catch a cold that affects our son?"
Sienna Johnson turned her head to the side, sulking alone, and Adrian, looking at her profile, gently said,
"Curly has plenty of flaws, but she’s only five. You can’t expect a child her age to be as disciplined as an adult.
I wasn’t right to help with her assignments, but she really couldn’t finish them. Last night, she was up until 11 o’clock before she slept..."
"A person should live down-to-earth; if she learns to cut corners at such a young age, shouldn’t I teach her a lesson? If I indulge her like you do, is this love? You’re harming her!
Adrian, she’s your daughter, not a pet dog you’re raising; you must take responsibility for her future."
