Adie behaved this time. He knew Joanna was furious, so he listened to her orders obediently.
Adie got down on his knees at once and held out his hands cooperatively. He faced Joanna's anger calmly. "Mommy, go ahead. You should calm down after hitting me. Don't stay angry. Anger is bad for your health. It's okay for me to be in pain.'
'You're still being slick, aren't you?"
Joanna got furious and hit Adie's palm with the ruler. She questioned with a stern tone, "Do you know what you did wrong yet?"
It was a painful hit. A red mark immediately emerged on Adie's tender skin. Even so, Adie remained strong. Although his eyes were full of tears, he did not cry out. He raised his chin and said stubbornly, 'I didn't do wrong.
What's wrong with protecting Mommy?"
"Adie!" Joanna was so angry that she hit Adie with the ruler again, harder than the previous time.
