700 Just Some Idiot

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Mr. White's scolding came to an abrupt halt after receiving a smack to the back of his head from his wife.

"If not for a certain someone setting a bad example for her, where would my little angel have learned to be so disobedient?"

Her husband's expression made it clear that he felt wronged, but he was still smart enough to know when not to retort.

Mrs. White turned her gaze back to Sam. "Anyway, although I can't deny that I'm a little upset, you… don't need to feel so guilty. Since you've already been willful, why not at least be happy?"

Sam's lower lip trembled involuntarily, and her eyes quickly welled up with unshed tears. "M-Mom…!"

Her mother rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Don't go crying just as I told you to be happy, you idiot!"

Emilia couldn't help but be a little amused as she watched her older sister immediately 'disobey' that instruction to envelop Mrs. White in a nearly suffocating hug as she cried.
