She walked out of the bedroom, and everyone's eyes were on her.
No one said a word, and the atmosphere was super awkward.
"Did I go too far just now?" She sat down on the couch, reflecting on herself, "I shouldn't have said that about Makayla."
"You weren't over the top at all! It was Elijah who yelled at you first. The moment you started talking, he told you to shut up! I think not only did you not go overboard, but you should've gone even further! If it were me, I'd have cussed him out directly! I'd not only call Makayla an idiot, but his whole family too!" Mike comforted her.
Mike's words left Violette stunned.
Albina chimed in, "Violette, you were just blowing off steam. If he had any sense, he would know you didn't mean it."
"I don't care what he thinks; I'm just afraid Makayla will be hurt." Violette lowered her eyes, sighing softly.
She didn't care about Elijah's feelings; she was just worried that her angry words would hurt Makayla.
"Makayla isn't mad. She said she's really an idiot," Mike reassured her.
"It's precisely because she's like this that I feel guilty." Violette fidgeted, got up from the couch, and returned to her room.
Seeing their mom so remorseful, Rita and Ian felt terrible too.
Tonight, Ian truly realized that Makayla was different from them.
Although Makayla looked like an adult woman, her mental capacity wasn't that of a normal person.
Even a young child would be angry and rebellious when being called an idiot by others.
So it seemed pointless for him to be so mean to Makayla all the time.
Back in their room, Rita pulled out her watercolor pens and started drawing on paper.
Ian peeked over.
"Brother, can you give this to Makayla tomorrow?" Rita drew a flower on the paper.
Ian was a bit disdainful but didn't refuse.
"I feel so bad for Makayla!" Rita's eyes reddened, "Who would want to be an idiot? Only an idiot wouldn't mind being one."
Ian took her drawing and put it in his backpack.
