Ivy saw the scene unfold.
"Erica, are... are you taking the kitten away?"
"Honey, this kitty was mine to begin with. Your mom brought it to me, and now I'm taking it home." Erica said cheerfully.
Ivy nodded, half in disbelief, and quickly went to grab the cat food.
Seeing this, Larkin immediately stepped forward and took it from her.
"You guys better take good care of the kitten!" Ivy showed her usual concern, even though the kitten was someone she had just met that morning.
"Don't worry, we will." Larkin patted Ivy's head.
Larkin was quite fond of Ivy.
She was nothing like a spoiled little princess. She was warm-hearted, innocent, and incredibly kind. Despite her young age, she understood people's emotions so well.
Ivy then returned to the kitten, reminding it to behave once again.
After Erica and Larkin left with the cat, Ivy excitedly ran to find her dad.
Wayne was looking over last quarter's financial report.
"Dad!" Ivy hummed a tune as she walked in, calling out cheerfully. But when she saw Wayne frowning, his face stern and scary, she stopped in her tracks.
It took only a second for Wayne to snap back to reality and quickly stand up. "Ivy, what brings you here? Are you done studying?"
Ivy nodded lightly. "Dad, what happened?"
Wayne looked bewildered. "I was just going over the company's financial report."
"Is it really bad? You looked so mad." Ivy quickly forgot about the scary expression on her dad's face and snuggled into Wayne's arms. "Did we lose a lot of money?"
"No, your mom is amazing. We didn't lose money; in fact, we made quite a bit." Wayne gently stroked his daughter's face. "I guess I was so focused that I scared you. I'm sorry..."
