Chapter 1917 She Bullied Me
Maya was ungrateful enough to doubt my beauty products! Since she doubted my beauty products, I criticized her food. Isn’t that fair? Why is she upset? What a fool.
“Nina, you’re being ungrateful!” With that said, Maya harrumphed icily and marched out of Nina’s room. After the door slammed shut, Nina flashed an amused grin.
Maya’s adorable when she gets mad. She looks exactly like a foolish and stubborn dog! I shall give her the nickname Goofy. After washing up, Maya stalked downstairs in a huff. Both Evan and Nicole were curious to see her puffed-up cheeks.
“Maya, why are you mad early in the morning? Did someone upset you?” Evan asked as he stared at her cheeks. Maya’s eyes shone mischievously. She was about to mention Nina when something occurred to her. “Daddy, if I tell you who made me upset, will you avenge me?” she asked.
“Of course. You’re my daughter, so I’ll side with you,” Evan replied firmly at once. “Really? You must keep your word!”
“When have I ever went back on my word?” Evan asked. “All right. You should teach Nina a lesson. She was the one who made me upset! Don’t go back on your word!” Maya stared at him unblinkingly.
Evan and Nicole were surprised to hear that. “Did Nina bully you?”
“Yes, she did!” Maya insisted. Evan queried, “How did she bully you?”
“I was nice enough to invite her to try out the honey shortbread I just created. Besides refusing to try them out, she also said she’d get a tummy ache after eating them. Isn’t that too much? Has she ever suffered from a tummy ache after eating the food I cooked?” Maya poured everything out angrily.
Both Evan and Nicole fell silent.
They shared a look. Even if Nina didn’t want to eat the food, she shouldn’t have criticized Maya. That’s too much.
“Maya, calm down. I’ll ask Nina to apologize to you later.”
“That isn’t enough. Daddy, you’ll have to teach her a lesson that she’ll never forget!” Maya proclaimed.
“All right. I know,” Evan assured her.
Just then, a series of steady footsteps approached them. It was Nina who was heading over in her heels.
“Good morning, Daddy, Mommy!” Nina greeted them before taking the seat next to Maya.
Maya gave her an angry look.
Nina ignored her and picked up a slice of pizza. Before she could bite into it, Evan stopped her.
“Nina, you don’t get to eat breakfast today,” he announced.
Confused, Nina asked, “Why?”
“Maya was the one who prepared breakfast today. You don’t want to suffer from a tummy ache, do you?”
Nina gaped in disbelief. What is Daddy talking about?
She glanced at the spread on the table before turning to look at Maya.
“That’s impossible. She only came down a few minutes earlier than me, so there’s no way she could’ve prepared breakfast in such a short time,” Nina responded in bewilderment.
“Even if Maya didn’t prepare breakfast, you don’t get to eat it,” Nicole chimed in.
Nina was puzzled. “But why? Daddy, Mommy, why won’t you let me eat breakfast? I need to know the reason.”
“The reason?” Evan explained slowly, “You shouldn’t have criticized Maya! She was kind enough to let you try her new pastry. You can reject her offer if you don’t wish to try it, but you shouldn’t have said it would cause a tummy ache! For example, you’d be insulting Mommy if she offered to give you a checkup, and you suspected that her treatment would take your life. Don’t be disrespectful, okay?”
Nina turned to look at Maya. “Oh, so Goofy told on me, huh?”
Maya was displeased to hear Nina calling her “Goofy.”
“Daddy, hear that? She gave me the nickname ‘Goofy’! That’s an insult!” She turned to glare at Nina. “If I’m Goofy, then you’re Daffy! You foolish Daffy!”
