Sure enough, Shanna was both obedient and adorable

"You're not apologizing to me! You're apologizing to Mom!"

Gritting his teeth, Bell continued his stern reprimand.

As Shanna's cries faded into the distance, Bell felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Just now, he had almost lost his composure and offered words of comfort to his sister.

Bell slumped into the sofa, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes to compose himself.

After an unknown amount of time, with a loud "boom," two large doors flew past Bell's eyes, and his mother Elena, appeared in the doorway, holding Shanna in her arms.

"..."

Bell seemed to understand why his sister always liked to blast the gate open.

"Bell! Why are you bullying your sister as soon as you get home?!"

Elena, holding her still sobbing baby daughter, glared at Bell.

Elena was utterly astonished when she saw her youngest daughter crying and coming to apologize. She swore that even if Voldemort were to rise from the dead and appear before her right now, she wouldn't be this surprised.

In her mind, her son doted on her youngest daughter to the extreme. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he would give her everything she wanted.

Incidentally, this sentence does not use any rhetorical devices.

So, if Elena hadn't been so familiar with Bell, she would have almost thought her son had been kidnapped. And who was this person in front of her, after drinking Polyjuice Potion and impersonating him?

William, following behind his wife, glanced speechlessly at her retreating figure. Had she become addicted to tearing the house apart lately? That kick just now almost brought down the entire wall.

How come he never noticed before that his wife had such a volatile side?

"Exactly! Bell, you went too far!"

William sternly reprimanded Bell, but secretly he was delighted.

This is a golden opportunity! With his son and younger daughter having a fight, if he seizes the chance to comfort his daughter and buy Shanna plenty of treats and toys, Shanna will surely realize how good her father is, thus significantly elevating his standing in Shanna heart!

It's not impossible that he might even surpass Bell!

Faced with his parents' cold stares, Bell rolled his eyes in exasperation. Why did they act like he was some heinous villain?

"Shanna, come here."

Ignoring his parents' questions, Bell waved to his younger sister, who was sobbing in her mother's arms.

"Oh~"

Hearing her Gege's call, the little girl obediently jumped down from her mother's arms and went over.

"No! My dear daughter, don't go over there! Don't be afraid, Daddy will protect you!"

Seeing that his youngest daughter still listened to her son so much, William began to question the meaning of life.

So, didn't they have a fight? Wasn't Shanna crying really hard just now? How come she obediently went over as soon as Bell beckoned?

"This is outrageous!!"

William, whose plan had died before it even began, roared with resentment in his heart.

Looking at Shanna, who was standing in front of him with her head down, looking all wronged, Bell almost lost his composure again.

"Ahem... Did you apologize to your mother?"

"Bell asked."

"Um."

Shanna nodded her little head.

"Has your mother forgiven you?"

"Um."

Shanna nodded her little head again.

"There can be no next time, understand?"

"Um."

Shanna nodded her little head for the third time.

"Come here, let your Gege wipe your tears. You've cried so much you look like a little kitten."

Shanna suddenly threw herself into Bell's arms, tears streaming down her face once again. This was the first time in her life that Shanna had been so harshly reprimanded by her Gege; the little girl felt utterly wronged.

"Okay, stop crying. It's Gege fault, Gege. I'll apologize, okay?"

Bell gently stroked his little sister's head with tenderness, patted Shanna's back lightly with his right hand, and softly comforted her.

Clearly, Little Shanna, who had suffered the greatest injustice of her life, could not be comforted by her Gege's simple words.

At least 20 sentences!

The little girl kept bumping her head against her Gege's chest, venting her grievances, dissatisfaction, and fear.

Yes, it's fear.

For Shanna, the grievances and dissatisfaction were not a big deal; what was the key to her breaking down in tears was the fear that her Gege would stop liking her from then on.

Watching the harmonious and heartwarming scene between the brother and sister, Elena reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She gently closed the door, grabbed William by the back of his collar (who was still questioning the meaning of life), and left.

"This is neither science nor magic! My daughter couldn't possibly..."

No matter how unwilling William was, reality is reality and it will not change according to his wishes.

Moreover, William was still unaware that, due to Bell's interference, Shanna and Elena had reconciled.

Therefore, he no longer had to live a life of constant anxiety, worrying about whether he would step into a trap while walking around the house, whether there was Living Death Draught added to his food, or whether a Boggart would suddenly appear under his bed.

The next morning, as soon as Shanna opened her eyes, she jumped out of bed.

It's that time of year again to open Christmas presents.

Although Shanna receives birthday gifts from her Gege every year, those gifts are usually books, dolls, or pretty dresses.

Christmas gifts, however, are different. Like the brooch from the year before last, the scarf from the year before that, and the Butterfly Hairpin from last year, they were all handmade by my Gege.

So Shanna is really looking forward to what her Gege will make for her this Christmas.

After quickly unwrapping gift after gift, Shanna finally discovered her Gege's Christmas present.

The gift was a dark gray hooded trench coat. On the right shoulder and left chest area, there were armor-like trims. The hem of the coat was also decorated with delicate lace.

Shanna happily picked up the trench coat and put it on.

The trench coat, which was originally a bit too big, quickly shrank after Shanna put it on until it fit her perfectly. Shanna waved her small hand to the side, and a full-length mirror on the wall flew over and floated in front of her.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Shanna nodded in satisfaction.

The overall style of this trench coat is rather cool, but the patterns and small decorations on it give Shanna a quirky and playful feel.

In short, it's incredibly cute!

On Christmas morning, Bell was shocked by what she saw as soon as she opened her eyes.

Gift boxes piled up in his room, and Bell looked around but couldn't find a place to put his feet.

"So when did I become so popular?!"

Bell casually picked up the nearest gift box, and after opening it, a subtle aroma wafted out.

Upon closer inspection, Bell discovered that it contained a plate of... sweet and sour pork ribs?

He wasn't quite sure what those dark, unidentifiable things on the plate were.

After opening several gift boxes around him, Bell discovered that they were filled with all sorts of food.

Bell had a guess in his mind.
