"Mummy, no need, this is our apology to Mrs. Qiao, so we can't have someone else help."
Candy hurriedly stopped Lin Qian from extending her hand.
Lin Qian paused, thinking back to the disheveled state that Qiao Xiya had arrived in, her red lips pursed slightly, saying nothing more.
Her gaze swept to the two people seated at the dining table, a handsome man and a beautiful woman sitting gracefully, calmly accepting the children's acts of apology.
Though she knew the children deserved punishment for their wrongdoing,
seeing little Candy, so small, presenting coffee as an apology, her heart couldn't help but ache inexplicably.
Qiao Xiya was a spoiled young lady—when Yin Moran would marry her, would he treat Candy poorly?
Would she punish Little Candy in various ways, just like today, whenever the child made a mistake?
Just the thought of that possibility soured Lin Qian's mood.
It was like her own child was living, dependent on the whims of a stepmother.
How suffocating!
