Sean immediately responded, "Yes, old man! Even if that man was brought to the scene by Lori, then what about that other man in black? The man in black has harassed us over and over again for Sabrina's sake, he even beat Rose up!"
"Him beating your wife has nothing to do with my mom! You are the only one to blame, Sean Ford! Try laying your hands on my mom and I'll stomp you to death!" Aino, who had remained silent thus far, suddenly spoke out. She might just be six years old, but she was very observant. The reason why she didn't join into the conversation earlier was because she sensed that the old Master Shaw was really there t o support her mother and her grandmother. However, when her grandfather tried to humiliate her mother again, the young child Aino took it upon herself to stand up for her mother.
"Aino, you are your father's daughter!" Sean emphasized.
"My mom is the one who gave birth to me! My mom is the one who raised me for six years! My mom is the one who took care of me while struggling to live in a place like Ciarrai County! If she wanted to go away with someone else, she would have done so back then! Why would she come back to South City and marry m y dad if she wants to look for other men?"
Sean was instantly rendered speechless by Aino's words.
Aino looked over to Lori. "Jennifer's mommy! Everything is clear now, you are trying to set my mom up! You bad woman, how could you plot against my mom, while still coming over to my house as a guest? Jennifer's mommy, you are far too daring! Do you really think that no one in our family will be able to do anything about this?"
The little girl spoke like an adult, mainly because Kingston poked fun at her all the time. Sometimes when he did, he would say, "The little princess is really daring. You aren't afraid of anything, huh? You can even beat the boys up."
The child was quick to pick up on the tone of whoever she spent most time with.
"Kingston! Kingston!" Aino shouted out as though she was the boss there, but Kingston couldn't respond, because he was not allowed into the old Ford residence and stayed behind to keep an eye on the car. Naturally, Aino's voice wouldn't have reached him. She placed her hands on her waist and gritted her teeth.
Her great-grandmother covered her grin and teased." Aino, you little thing, you are just like a little firecracker."
"Hmph! I am a little firecracker! I'm going to get whoever bullies my mommy!" Aino said, before
screaming at the top of her lungs. "Kingston! Kingston!"
