Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Lauren froze right then, pausing her hand. Meanwhile, the butler also stepped back right as he wanted to dissuade her.

Yvette stifled her sobs as she bawled her eyes out.

"Mommy, I didn't start it! Fleur yelled at me, and Lilia helped her. She pushed me first. Mommy, you said I could fight back if someone hits me. Wah..."

"Lilia said you're a bad woman, a vixen, that's why I don't have a daddy. A vixen stole Lilia's daddy away. She said I'm a little vixen born from a big vixen, a little witch who steals people. She also said she wanted to ruin my face so that I can't steal anyone in the future. She hit me first! She scratched me too. She fell down herself!"

She reached her little limb out, revealing a clear red mark on the back of her fair hand. Her tears fell like a never-ending waterfall, absolutely aggrieved.

"Mommy's not a bad woman! Mommy is the best mommy in the world! I'm not a little witch too..."

"They cannot say that about you! They're jealous I have a pretty mommy! Their mommies don't love them and even hit them. Their mommies are the bad women!"

"Mommy..."

Tears welled up in Lauren's eyes as Yvette cried, and she could no longer hold them back as she pulled her baby girl into her arms. "There, there, Yvette, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you!"

Holding her little hand, Lauren blew on it. "Does it still hurt?"

Stifling her sobs, Yvette went in for another hug, nuzzling aggressively in her arms.

"Mommy, let's ask Daddy to come back! They won't talk bad about me and won't call me a little witch when Daddy comes back, right? I don't want toys anymore. I don't want a big house too. I'll be a good girl; I don't want Bree anymore. I want Daddy to come back! They won't dare to talk bad about me anymore if Mommy and Daddy pick me up from school..."

Feeling as though something had crushed her heart, for the first time, Lauren suddenly realized there were some things she couldn't compensate Yvette no matter how!

A child's world was very straightforward; either she had, or she didn't. How could she possibly understand any of the grudges between the adults?
