The look on her face was unwelcoming as she glared atdispleasingly.
"Daddy, why is she here?" She looked up at Xander inquisitively while holding on tightly to the teddy bear in her hand. She was wearing a pinklong gown, and her hair was packed in two tight ponytails.
"You are here?" Xander looked atwith a smile on his face as he left her hand and cto stand in front of me.
"How're re you? You don't look fine. Is everything alright?" He looked atobservantly, but I quickly shook my head and smiled at him.
"I'm fine." "Daddy, I asked why she is here. Is she not the swoman that slapped you the other day? Is she here to cause trouble again?" CElla's voice again, getting Xander's attention. He walked over to her and crouched down to her size.
"Don't talk to her like that. I told you to always respect elders when you see one. He scolded her but more in a gentle manner.
"But she slapped you," She pouted her lips as she reminded him of that day, and I scoffed.
"Con, you should say hi to her," He stood up then held her hand and turned to face me.
"Say hi to her," He urged her, and she hesitated before she muttered a 'hi' accompanied with an eye roll. Too much attitude for her age.
"Why is she here though?" She looked up at him and asked the squestion once again, determined to know what was happening.

Are you living together now?" She looked traumatised like she just heard something she never should have, and her reaction madechuckle briefly and silently.
"It's nice to meet you again, Ella," I finally walked over to her and crouched down to her size.
"I don't like you," She toldhonestly, her eyes didn't fail to add to the sincerity.
"I know. For sreason, I don't seem to like you either..." I paused and ruffled her hair briefly as I gave her a warm smile.

"Sorry about that. Ella can be- "It's fine. She's not so bad. That's how kids are," I dismissed it with a smile, and he nodded.
