Harold finally registered what he had done.
He straightened up obediently, lowered his head, and said, “I’m sorry, Mommy. I didn’t do it on purpose, and I’ll never do it again.”
Adina pursed her crimson lips.
Why did she suddenly get angry just now? She was usually not the kind of person who enjoys getting angry.
Moreover, the toe that got stepped on had stopped hurting.
She crouched down and gently said, “It’s okay, Hal. Mommy was just kidding with you just now.”
Harold did not dare to relax at all. His mommy just now did not seem like she was kidding at all.
He cautiously said, “Mommy, I haven’t finished my homework for the winter holiday. I’ll go do that first.”
“Go ahead.”
Adina patted his head.
George and Alden exchanged looks, then the two of them each took Melody by the hand and walked back to their room.
When they reached the door, George said in a low voice, “Al, why do I feel like Mommy’s still acting strange?”
“Don’t think about it too much,” Alden said through pursed lips, “Earl’s people are all under Daddy’s control. In three days, the remote controls will all be destroyed, and then Mommy will truly be free.”
In fact, it did not take three days. In two and a half days’ time, Duke had seized over a hundred of the remote controls.
