The way the six-year-old Brooke spoke was so innocent. The way she looked with her head tilted and her eyes widened had a pure kind of cuteness.
When they heard Brooke saying that, the few workers at the children's store took a look at Eira one after another. They saw a girl who was much taller than Brooke, but she was poorly dressed. Her hair was dirty and greasy, and her body was also dirty. She gave people the feeling that she did not care about hygiene at all. On top of that, Eira was afraid, so both her hands were picking on her fingers, and her nails were full of dirt. When the few workers saw that kind of situation, they instantly looked at Eira with disgust. Eira then became even more afraid. She bit her lips and did not dare to look at anybody. 2
"Gosh! Your feet! Your shoes have dirtied our store!" said a worker sharply.
Eira immediately took a few steps back as if she had done something wrong. It was fine if she had not retreated, but as she dragged her feet to take a few steps back, she made the floor of the children's store covered in mud. 1
"Eira!" Delmont scolded her. At that moment, Delmont hated this daughter of his very much. She was ill-mannered and did not care about her hygiene at all! She was two years older than Brooke, but she knew
nothing at all.
"Stop moving!" Delmont scolded Eira. Eira did not dare to move anymore. 1
"Apologize to these ladies!" Delmont ordered again. Eira did not say anything. 1
