Joe stormed into the living room and flung himself onto the sofa.

His anger was palpable!

Rowena attempted to appease him, suggesting, “Would you Like me to purchase the Transformers for you?"

"Nol"

Despite it being his recent favorite, Joe showed no interest in the Transformers now, he thought.

Rowena's efforts to improve his mood were futile.

Finally, she decided to leave him alone, hoping he would recover soon.

Nevertheless, upon Isaac's return, Joe remained upset!

Spotting Isaac, Joe rushed into his arms and sobbed. "Dad."

Isaac lifted him gently, asking, “What's the matter? Why are you crying?"

Joe felt unfairly treated, and his eyes reddened.

Tears were welling up.

Rowena remarked, "It's because I wouldn't let Mila hold him."

Joe nestled in Isaac's embrace, complaining, "Grandma won't let Mom hold me, but I can see Mom really wants to hold me."

Rowena was left speechless.

She remarked, “Who wants to hold you? You're quite heavy now."

Joe clung tightly to Isaac's neck, urging, "Dad, carry me upstairs quickly. I want to see Mom."

Isaac settled onto the sofa and explained, "Grandma won't let Mom hold you because she's not feeling well. Why are you throwing a tantrum?"

Joe blinked his large, round eyes and insisted, “Mom is fine. She smiles at me. She's not sick."

"She smiles to hide her illness from you. Just because she smiles doesn't mean she's not sick. You need to listen to Grandma."
