Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 470

Betty's first moment of discontent towards Curtis happened when she was just a year old.

Leanne and Curtis took her to the clinic for her pneumococcal vaccination, a shot dreaded by children and parents alike.

As the months passed and Betty became more aware, she started to understand that the sharp needle meant pain. To her, the nurse wielding the syringe seemed like a terrifying monster. At the sight, Betty instinctively reached out for Curtis, seeking protection in her father's arms.

However, the man she looked up to, her mountain of safety, not only didn't whisk her away from the horror but instead gently held her arm for the nurse. At that moment, one-year-old Betty tasted the bitterness of betrayal amidst her shock and pain, and no amount of consoling could easily soothe her tears.

Leanne cradled her, whispering sweet nothings until Betty's sobs subsided. Her big, tearful eyes made her look utterly pitiful.

Trying to make amends, Curtis reached out to take her, but she promptly turned her face away, clinging tightly to Leanne as if her little life depended on it. Her entire being radiated resistance.

"Our little princess is scared of the shots," Curtis cooed, trying to lighten the mood. "Come on, let me give you a hug."

Betty burrowed deeper into Leanne's embrace, adamantly refusing with a simple, "No!"

Curtis, facing his daughter's rejection for the first time, couldn't help but feel a mix of helplessness and amusement. "Such a strong will you have."

Betty's stubbornness lasted the entire way home. Despite Curtis' attempts at reconciliation, she wouldn't budge, nursing her grievance against him.

Back home, Curtis tried to win her over with her favorite yogurt, but even that couldn't melt her resolve. With a pout, she accused, "Daddy... bad..."

"Daddy's bad?" Curtis set aside the yogurt, lifted her into his lap, and tried to reason with her. "Well, then, tell me, how is Daddy bad?"
