Latem didn't expect the tides to turn so quickly. He had yet to enjoy the rewards of his actions before Sylvia ended it.
He sighed with frustration and said, "Apologize. Snowie, come and apologize to Sylvia."
"Sorry, Sylvia," Snowie apologized in a cute, well-behaved, and childish way.
She was so cute that Grace immediately carried her over.
"Snowie, you're such a good girl. Let me give you a hug."
Latem came forward as well, "Aunt."
"Latem," Sylvia yelled out.
Latem's body stiffened, and his face wrinkled up as he looked upset.
"You haven't apologized yet, are you trying to wiggle your way out of this?" Sylvia looked at Latem in a cocky manner, "Apologize to me now."
Latem looked towards Sebastian for help.
Sebastian merely smiled at him and remained unmoved.
Left with no choice, Latem could only apologize, "Sorry, Sylvia."
"It's okay, a good girl like me won't mind such a thing," Sylvia purposely included some self-praise for herself, "I'll overlook this, but don't repeat this in the future."
Grace felt speechless.
Alice also didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
These children were too cute.
It was amusing and maddening at the same time.
Sebastian shot a meaningful glance towards Heinz.
Heinz caught sight of it and frowned immediately, "Sebastian, why are you looking at me?"
Sebastian spoke as slowly as he usually did, "You're handsome, Daddy."
Heinz felt so flattered that he completely forgot about what he wanted to lecture Sebastian about.
He looked at Latem with an extra touch of tenderness in his eyes.
"Sebastian, you still haven't told me what happened just now. Why was Mommy laughing like that?" Sylvia immediately ran over to ask him.
"Didn't Little Aunt explain that it was nothing?"
Sebastian responded.
"Sebastian, why are you still hiding this from me?" Sylvia protested, "You never tell me anything when I want to know as well."
"Curiosity kills the cat. Sylvia, you'd better not be too curious. Also, girls shouldn't gossip so much as well."
Sylvia stuck out her tongue and looked towards Heinz.
She didn't want to give up yet, "Daddy, shouldn't smiles and laughter be shared with one another?"
Heinz nodded and said, "Yeah, that's why you should share your toys with Latem and Snowie."
"Why can't you tell me what you guys were laughing about?" Sylvia was still very curious. She then looked towards Grace and pleaded, "Mommy."
Grace looked at Sylvia and said, "Sylvia, you're a big girl now. You should stop sitting on your dad's lap. Acting like a baby is meant for babies such as Snowie, not you."
"Mommy, why are you all targeting me today?" Sylvia protested while pouting.
In an instant, Heinz's heart ached, and he immediately said, "Good girl, Sylvia. Daddy will go play with you now."
"Daddy, I still want to find out what happened just now."
