Chapter 70
“Can you please continue what you didn’t finish in the room just now?”
Vance’s big hands tightly grasped her waist.
“Dad, Phoebe, what are you doing?”
Rowena stared at the two people hugging each other, frowning slightly.
These days, she goes against her teacher every day.
However, in the education section, I was invisibly instilled with many thought–provoking stories.
One of them was that filial piety is the most important virtue, and one should not be foolishly filial. She remembered it particularly clearly.
Mr. Scott derived a story about a married man who had an affair with another woman and the mistress broke into the house and drove out the original wife.
The mistress gave birth to her own child and abused the original wife’s child in every way.
The child still did not resist, and spent his later years with the mistress, ignoring his mother.
Her first reaction was to think of her father and Phoebe.
But Phoebe is so kind that she can’t possibly be the vicious stepmother in the story.
Rowena sneered and didn’t take the teacher’s “teachings” to heart.

I don’t think I would be the foolish child in the story who is filial and foolish.
As the torture of teaching lasted longer, she asked Phoebe to take her away several times.
Phoebe would always agree readily, but on the appointed day she would use filming as an excuse to postpone it.
After a while, Rowena also developed her own little temper.
When I see this picture now, I feel uncomfortable.
Vance turned around without changing his expression and said, “Your aunt fell, I’ll help her up.”
Rowena’s eyes were filled with suspicion.
Although Phoebe often fell before and her father would help her up, she still felt something was wrong today.
It seemed like something else would happen if she didn’t show up.
She couldn’t figure it out and felt even more upset.
Phoebe noticed something was wrong with Rowena.
“What’s wrong, Rowena, are you done with class?” She took the initiative to pull herself out of Vance’s arms and asked softly.
Rowena’s face became even uglier when she mentioned going to class.
He ran between the two of them.
She pulled Vance’s clothes: “Dad, where’s Mom?”
Vance was a little surprised that she asked about Estela.

“What’s up?”
Rowena pouted her lips and said as a matter of course: “Didn’t your promise me that you would let her come back to take care of me? I just saw her go upstairs. Where is she?”
It was the first time that Phoebe was ignored by Rowena, and her alarm bells went off.
During this period, in order to prevent Rowena from disturbing the progress between him and Vance, he deliberately delayed picking her
- up.
I didn’t expect that in just these few days, I had become a stranger to myself!
What an ungrateful person.
Phoebe didn’t show any emotion on her face and touched Rowena’s hair: “Rowena, your mother just left.”
“What?!” Rowena screamed, pulling Vance harder, “Dad, didn’t you say that when Mom comes back this time, she will definitely not leave? You lied to me?!”
Vance looked unhappy after being suddenly accused by his daughter.
Memories flashed back to the last time I met Estela.
She said she didn’t want to be a full–time “nanny” on call 24 hours a day anymore.
There are also signs of my daughter’s attitude now.
Vance had a cold face and a stern tone: “Rowena, isn’t it enough for you to have so many servants at home to take care of you? Your mother is not your full–time nanny, and she has no obligation to be around you

all the time! It seems that the teacher’s discipline of you is still not enough. I need to have a good talk with her.”
Rowena had never seen Vance look so serious towards her.
She just wanted her mother to be with her, what’s wrong with her!
But faced with Vance’s cold gaze, he couldn’t utter a word of rebuttal.
As soon as he opened his mouth he burst into tears.
“Wow! You don’t love me! You all don’t love me! I’m an unwanted child and I hate my dad!”
“Rowena!” Vance was annoyed.
Phoebe quickly pulled Rowena into her arms, patted her back gently, and comforted Vance: “Vance, she is still a child, how can you say such things to her. I don’t think the teacher is not strict enough, but pushes her too hard. You are usually too busy, and the child doesn’t have a mother to talk to, so she said such a thing today.”
Rowena hid in Phoebe’s arms, sobbing.
Every word Phoebe said hits the nail on the head.
Sure enough, Phoebe is the only person in the world who understands her best.
