Tobias Clark tried to pull her away as if he hadn't noticed her intention.
The little girl, who usually listened to him the most, didn't obey this time. She kept pulling on him, insisting on standing still, swaying his hand while blinking pitifully, and whispered, emphasizing with a soft voice, "Kitty... kitty..."
Tobias Clark wanted to take back the compliment about her being a good girl he had just given her. He stared at Gigi with his watery eyes and was defeated. He didn't pull Gigi anymore, but still clenched his jaw and didn't speak.
Enna Clark realized this time that she had really made Bobby mad. Adhering to the principle that honesty would lead to leniency and resistance would invite severity, she immediately said, "Baby, I was wrong."
The little boy, who was standing stiffly, scrunched his cool little face even tighter and huffed, turning his head away.
