"Dad, she has a big screen and I have a small one. It's not fair!" grumbled Melissa, pretending to be sad.
Daniel didn't reply to her. He thought for a while, and then called the manager, and said, "Could you go on an errand and buy me an iPad?"
Janet rolled her eyes in disagreement, and grabbed Daniel's phone, and stopped the manager, "That's fine, thank you anyway. I'll handle it!"
Holding the wedding gown in her hand, she walked up to Melissa, and took her hands away from her face. "Melissa, stop the playacting!" she said.
Melissa was obviously acting, because she could hardly squeeze a tear.
Daniel's mouth twitched, but said nothing.
"You can use daddy's phone to watch cartoons," said Janet, trying to coax her. Although Daniel's phone had a smaller display, it was worth thousands of dollars more than the iPad.
"No!" insisted Melissa, knocking the phone from her mother's hand, and dropping it on the carpet.
From the logo, the phone was a MILA. Daniel had a very expensive limited edition of it.
Everyone was shocked, especially the shop assistants.
They expected him to get mad at the wilful girl.
Seeing what happened, Janet began to feel alarmed. She looked at his face, and for Melissa's sake, said, "Melissa is only a child..."
Daniel's face was flat. He pulled Melissa from Janet, and Janet was a little scared. She glued her daughter onto her and wouldn't let her go, but Melissa didn't seem to be afraid of her father, and instead went to him without any sort of hesitation.
Janet gave out a sigh, and let her go.
The manager picked up the phone, and handed it to Janet. "It isn't broken! It's still working..." she said, checking it and looking relieved.
She had punished the kids before when they had misbehaved in the past, but Daniel was a calm man with a strong character, and had never risked punishing them.
Contrary to her expectations, Daniel did nothing unpleasant.copy right hot novel pub
