Chapter 22 Family Traits
To put it simply, Nina had inherited it from her biological father. According to Daniel, Benjamin had been even more difficult to handle as a child than Nina!
Amelia, holding her teary-eyed daughter, gently turned Nina’s face toward Benjamin. “Nina, apologize.”
Nina sniffled and wiped her tears, her tiny voice barely audible between sobs. “Nina… apologize…”
Amelia’s voice softened with patience. “Just say I’m sorry.”
Guided by Amelia, who patiently coached her word by word, Nina finally managed to get the words out: “I…am…so…sorry.”
Only after Nina apologized did Amelia wipe her own tears away.
Standing in the doorway, Daniel watched the entire interaction between mother and daughter. For the first time, he found himself genuinely impressed with his brother’s taste in women.
He really admired Amelia.
While Daniel observed, Amelia held Nina in her arms and casually brought up the topic of her early education classes. “Nina, you haven’t finished the early education classes I signed you up for. Your teacher called me.”
Nina perked up at the mention of her classes. Amelia continued, “Do you want to go to class tomorrow?”
Amelia valued Nina’s education deeply. No matter how tight her finances were, she never cut corners when it came to her daughter’s learning.
Each of Nina’s early education classes cost $400.
Amelia, who would go months without treating herself to a $400 meal, never hesitated when it came to Nina. She bought the best she could afford for her daughter, even if it meant practicing extreme frugality for herself.
Meanwhile, Nina clapped her hands excitedly. “Mommy, Nina go to class!”
Nina loved her early education classes. They were play-based, and she had made lots of friends there.
Amelia smiled softly and kissed Nina’s chubby cheek. “Okay, then. I’ll take you to class tomorrow.”
Her tone softened further as she spoke, “Nina, I have to film now. The filming location is far away, in the northern part of the city. I might come home really late”
Nina’s small face drooped as she absorbed the news. Amelia continued, “If I come back late, let your or grandpa put you to sleep, okay? Or… you can sleep with your daddy, alright?”
