Looking at the faces of my family, I could easily tell that Aria must have been quite the handful these 2 days. After all, knowing my mother, she would definitely take Aria to the mansion. And knowing the other two, they would definitely come to know of it. Today, when I was having my tryst with Grace, she already spoke to me about the things between Aria and the rest.
"Be kind, darling. They are my family."
I said with an indulging smile as I started to pat Aria's head. This one skill seems to break through all layers of defense that Aria holds. Her childlike mind melted as she spoke with a pout.
"Bu-But..."
"No buts. In this case, be a good girl, okay?"
I spoke, placing a small kiss on Aria's cheeks, which once again made the 'little' girl agree to my words. Having coaxed Aria, I turned to my family, where all three of them were looking at me in a daze. The funny thing was that the expression on their faces was the same as the one Clara had on her today.
