Robbie's little body trembled. When Jay opened the door to the fortress, he saw Robbie staring at him with a ghastly pale face.
"Baby Robbie!" Jay's heart sank when he saw Robbie's face. He ran forward and hugged Robbie tightly in his embrace.
The Elephant's Eye and its spooky voice disappeared without a trace.
"I'm sorry, Daddy. I won't do that again," Robbie said softly, begging for his father's forgiveness. Tears sparkled in his eyes.
Jay hugged Robbie tightly and patted his back gently. He was extremely guilty of himself at that moment." It's all Daddy's fault. Daddy shouldn't have punished you this way. You're still too young."
Jay noticed that the room was already clean, and the broken porcelain shards were already swept into one corner. He suddenly hated himself.
How dare he blame his most vulnerable weakness on a n innocent child?
"Baby Robbie, Daddy only hopes that you can be good friends with your brother. I hope that the two of you don't argue or fight, or have anything between you. Do you understand?" Jay was not speaking in his usual lordly tone of voice.
Robbie pushed himself away from Jay's embrace. His eyes blinked innocently as he looked at his father. " Daddy, I wasn't fighting with Jenson, and we didn't argue either. We were jumping around in the fortress, and the porcelain antiques were broken by accident. I'm sorry." His voice became softer and softer.
"You weren't fighting?" A hint of shock flashed past Jay's impeccable face.
He did not understand. If Robbie had not bullied Jenson, then why was Jenson behaving so abnormally?
Robbie noticed the confusion in Jay's eyes and sighed quietly. Did Daddy not trust me?'
That low whisper forced its way into Robbie's brain again. "Little boy, your father has abandoned you!"
It seemed like Daddy did not like him.
Jay's sharp gaze surveyed every corner of the fortress and saw that nothing was amiss. He carried Robbie in his arms and went downstairs.
