She really did not understand why Harold always went after her.
When she looked at Harold’s pitiful face, she suddenly recalled what happened last night.
Melody had sneaked out of preschool to look for Duke, and Harold had sneaked out of his house to look for her.
Why was this happening?
Adina could not figure it out even after she thought about it.
She stroked Harold’s hair, which was a mess. There were rotten leaves and dust from the flowerbed stuck in it.
She carried the boy helplessly. “Your Dad will arrive in twenty minutes. I’ll take you to take a shower first.”
Duke helped Melody take a shower, and she helped Harold take a shower. Both of them had settled the score.
Just as she got up, Alden followed her and indifferently said, “Mom, he should be four years old. He can take a shower on his own.”
Adina’s scent made Harold feel secure, and he did not want to let her go. He held Adina’s neck tightly. “I don’t know how to take shower. I also don’t know how to take off my clothes. Aunt Adina, please help me!”
“Boys and girls shouldn’t have physical contact. I’ll help you.”
Alden spoke, and his voice was unquestionable.
Adina put Harold down and gently said, “Harold, you’re already four years old. You should learn how to take a shower independently. Let Alden bring you to the bathroom and teach you how to shower.”
“No!” Harold grabbed her wrist tightly and stubbornly said, “Besides, I should be older than him. I’m the big brother!”
Alden rolled his eyes. “How old are you?”
“Four years old!” Harold raised his chin. “You should be three and a half years old!”
Alden continued to calmly ask, “Which month were you born?”
Harold scratched his hair. “I can’t remember, but I must be older than you!”
“If you’re older than me, but you don’t know how to shower, it has to be because of your IQ,” Alden said indifferently.
