The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 466

I said to Willow, "But remember this, Willow. If other people never bothered us, we must not pick a fight and bully others too. But if other people bully us, we must also think of a way to retaliate. Do you understand?"

I had a stern expression on my face.

In response, Willow said solemnly, "Okay, Mommy. But ever since Zachary left our class, the other children have been genuinely kind to me."

I smiled and said, "I know that. I just wanted to remind you while we're on this topic. I want you to be happy every day and not be affected by other people's emotions."

With a serious expression, Willow answered, "I'll remember that. Don't worry, Mommy. I won't let anyone else bully me!"

I continued, "No matter when, if you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, don't try to fix it yourself. You must tell us, and we will resolve the problems for you. Okay?"

Willow gazed at me lovingly and said, "Okay!"

As I gazed at Willow, I suddenly recalled when I still hadn't given up on Steven. Whenever Steven ran into trouble, I would relentlessly try to advise him. Yet, it annoyed Steven. He would grumble and say, "You've said this a hundred times. Stop repeating it..."

I repeated myself multiple times. But after he said that a few more times, I realized that he didn't like it when
