Faced with her daughter's angry expression, Laurent gently tried to teach her a lesson:
"Emma, you can't be so unreasonable."
"How could Dad only be good to you? He also has to be good to the lord and the lady of the house, and to the master. He has to be good to Auntie too. And if Dad ever has new children with another auntie, he'll need to be good to her and to them as well…"
Laurent said this hoping to prevent her daughter from expecting too much from Dave's affection, hoping that, in the future, when she faced Dave and his new family, it would hurt less and make her less upset.
But to her surprise, the usually well-behaved daughter suddenly burst into tears and threw a tantrum.
"No—!"
The little girl screamed in a high-pitched voice, crying out,
"I don't want Dad to be with another auntie! I don't want him to have children with another auntie—"
"I won't allow it, I won't allow it! He's only my daddy!"
