Chapter 401 A Cruel Woman and An Innocent Child The little girl was afraid of Sonia's descent into insanity again, and she was even more scared that she would be detested by this thin but grumpy woman.
But Sonia just smiled at her, "How long have you been waiting here?" Shivering, she answered, "Three hours..." Sonia would not care about Elinor too much, and she could only tell herself rationally that this girl was innocent, so she should not loathe Elinor because of her mom. Even so, she could not restrain her feelings.
"Why did you stay here? Why not going to your mom?" "My mom does not want me..." Elinor still stood at the corner, her eyes suffused with both a desire to approach her and fear of her. Victor would not look at her as this way, because he was beloved by Sonia. Dixon looked back and said indifferently to Elinor, "Chere." She was so scared of his punishment that she burst into tears, "Dad, please don't punish me..." She did nothing wrong, but she habitually apologized to protect herself from being hurt.
Sonia clenched her fists in sympathy. She knew she should not worry about Maria's daughter, but she was still sympathetic to Elinor's expression.

Dixon still repeated his words, "Chere." Elinor moved closer, trembling. "Dad, don't hit me... I won't show up in front of this sister..." She was scared to cry. Dixon went into a sulk, questioning her, "When did I hit you?" Elinor hugged herself, saying, "Mommy always hitand burnedwith cigarette butts. She was always furious. She didn't loveat all... Dad also never cared about me... I know you all don't like me... Don't hurt me, and I'll apologize to you." Dixon was shocked by her tears and words, asking hoarsely, "Who said Dad didn't like you?" Elinor was indeed not her biological daughter, so he intentionally gave no attention to her and allowed her to call him Dad just because he did not break up with Maria.
After all, Elinor was obedient. He knew she was innocent, but he was so sinful that everyone relevant to him was to blame.
"Dad, you don't gonna beat me?" She apologized, with tears still on her little face, "I'm sorry. I didn't intentionally think you are so bad..." Fearfully, she thought she made mistakes again, so she had nothing to do but say sorry. Dixon did not know what Maria had done to Elinor so that she was so self-abased.
Sonia took a deep breath and tried to act kindly. "Your dad didn't mean to beat you. Instead, he wants you to have a meal with us. Do you?" Her words struck Dixon dumb, but he responded immediately after casting a glance at her, "Yes, just dine with your auntie." "Thank you, auntie. You're so nice." Elinor was innocent. She would feel grateful to who was nice to her. She asked with tearful eyes, "Can I call your sister?" Sonia answered sympathetically, "You can call whatever you want." "Are you the little brother's mom?" Elinor ladled soup into Sonia's bowl flatteringly to show her gratitude to Sonia's shelter. Although Elinor was not Dixon's daughter, he was touched by her abasement.
How did this happen? "Yes, I am." Sonia knew that Elinor stood aside just now, watching the chaos silently and shivering fearfully. "Is Victor's ear okay?" Elinor asked cautiously, afraid of resentment. "He was blooding a lot." Sonia held the bowl, her eyes red, reluctantly saying, "It will be all right. I believe Lenard and his friends." "I hope the little brother will be all right." Elinor felt touched because she hardly met nice people. Most people would not be nice to her, and would chase her away. Children would not understand too many principles, and they only care about one thing.
That is, they would only be nice to who was nice to them.
Elinor rubbed the wrinkles out of Sonia's forehead and comforted Sonia. "Sister, don't worry." "I will borrow my ears to the little brother, so he'll be all right.' Sonia burst into tears. Dixon was also shocked by her words. The young voice cfrom a little girl who was not wiser than Victor, but it made them moved.
"Thank you." Sonia gradually calmed down. "Eat something, you are very thin." "You looked thin, too." Elinor thought she finally found her warmth. She looked at Sonia eagerly," Can we eat together?" "If your dad brings soup to us later on, I'll have it with you." Sonia could not restrain herself and touched Elinor's forehead.
Dixon thought that Sonia would hate Maria's kid, but she accepted her. Children were born in white, and they would be painted by adults and their surrounding environment when they grew up.

Dixon knew that Elinor would becshy and depressed in the future because Maria had a negative effect on her. He ignored her as long as he thought Maria cheated him.
But Elinor... was really innocent.
He did the sthing now as he previously vented his anger on Victor. He cto realize that he should not have done that.
Hearing Sonia's words, Dixon kept silent for a while, and then responded. "Okay."
After Elinor kept Sonia company to finish the soup stewed by Helena, Dixon took her outside the foom and crouched down, saying to her, "When I bring soup here next time, can you helpto finish it with Sonia?" "Yeah!" Dixon was finally willing to talk to her. As long as he did not ignore her, she would try her best to do as he said. She was so happy because her dad did not loathe her anymore.
After saying goodbye to Dixon, Elinor made her way to Old Mrs. Borris' room pleasantly, but she wasom y, but she was stopped by Maria on the half way. ET Maria hit her head against the wall heavily, shouting, "How dare you just eat with Sonia Donald? Damn it! You're an ingrate!"
Elinor wanted to yell, but she dare not, because she would only be beaten more heavily by her mother as long as she really did. As if she woke up from a dream, she was dragged into the cold and cruel reality again. Her mother tore her hair in a wheelchair, her eyes full of tears.
