Caroline’s eyes widened and blinked a few times before she speedily threw her room door open to rush downstairs. She wanted to figure out if the hair she had found in her mother’s pocket actually belonged to her father.

When she got downstairs, she saw Ethan, who was still sitting on the couch. Instead of greeting him, she sneakily edged over before she swung her hand over his head and quickly plucked a few strands of hair off of him.

“I… I don’t…” Caroline was shocked, and she put her tiny hands behind her back to conceal the hairs that she had just pulled out.

“Why are you being so fierce? You’re scaring Caroline,” Rosy came downstairs to take something, and she happened to overhear Ethan. She felt annoyed, especially when she saw the stern look on the man’s face. “You shouldn’t fool around like that with Mommy, okay?
