Sunshine held Felixâs hand and whispered, âWhy donât we go on the Internet and see what your daddy did to Mommy?â
âO-Okay,â Felix mumbled.
They entered Sunshineâs bedroom, where she opened up her laptopâs search bar.
âWhatâs your daddyâs name?â Sunshine asked.
âBradley Warner,â Felix answered.
Although Sunshine spoke fluent English, she had slight trouble spelling Bradleyâs name correctly.
Felix took over the laptop and typed in Bradleyâs name, and a lot of news about him in the business world came up.
Sunshine looked at a photo of Bradley wearing gold-framed glasses and criticized, âWow⦠He looks like a fox in sheepâs clothing!â
Felix furrowed his brows, reading the news about Bradley with a serious expression.
The latest piece of news was a post Bradley had made, which became popular due to his handsome looks.
âHe wants Mommy to beg him? T-Thatâs so bad of him!â Felix felt even more hurt at that point. He realized they were never going to get back together.
There was much news about Bradley, but Felix and Sunshine could only read about how Bradley treated Esther. They were children, after all.
âFelix, your daddyâs a big meanie! He kept Mommy prisoner!â Sunshine cried, pointing at a broadcast of Estherâs reddened wrists. âLook at how red Mommyâs hands are!â
Felix took a closer look and saw the bruises and cuts on Esther. He shed a tear at the sight.
Sunshine continued to scroll through the news and cried, âFelix, I feel so bad for Mommy. What could she have done to be with a crazy man like your daddy?â
Felix stammered, âM-My Daddyâs not crazy!â
Sunshine looked at Felix in confusion at the sight of his retaliation. âAre you crying?â
âIâm not.â Felixâs tears welled up from the extreme sadness he felt.
He finally understood why his mother had said she was unhappy. Of course, she would be after all the bad things his father had done to her! All Felix wanted was for his mother to live happily ever after!
âWe must treat Mommy better, Felix,â Sunshine said.
Felix nodded.
Sunshine added, âYouâve got to protect Mommy whenever your daddy bullies her, understand?
H âI know,â he assured.
Sunshine pulled out a tissue and handed it to him. âStop crying already! Men donât shed tears!
âSunshine⦠What if Daddy doesnât want to help Mommy find Pixie?â Felix asked.
Sunshine took out a wand and said, âDonât tell anyone this, but this is a magicianâs wand that can help us steal Pixie backâ¦â
âIt can!?â Felix exclaimed.
Sunshine nodded and whispered her plans, âThatâs right, listenâ¦â
Felixâs eyes lit up as he excitedly said, âThen letâs go steal Pixie right away!â
âNo, we canâtâ¦â Sunshine replied.
Sunshine opened up a map and continued. âWeâd be two children walking on the streets, so weâd either come across bad people on the way or get caught by police officers. Either way, Mommy would be worriedâ¦â
Felix suddenly had a bright idea and said, âWe could ask Mr. Detective for help!
