Joseph assured Steven, said that Irish had come out of sadness. Steven finally put away his worries. He knew that the heart was fragile and the human body could have good treatment, but it would be very troublesome if the heart were sick.
At this time, Joseph remembered Fredrick's words and asked Steven quietly. "Has there ever been anything unpleasant about Irish's childhood?"
Steven thought about it. "I think you already know about Adam."
"What about before Adam?" After getting the psychological evaluation report, Joseph checked some things about Irish, and he could not find out what had happened to her childhood days. Apart from the case of Adam, for some time, he did think that what Fredrick was referring to was Adam because that matter greatly impacted Irish. But later, the more he thought, the more wrong it was. Irish remembered Adam's matter, so there was barely any reason to affect her memory again. Was there anything else she didn't want to remember?
Steven hesitated for a moment. "Before Adam?"
He murmured unexpectedly, his eyes dodged.
"What happened?" Joseph saw that something was wrong with him.
Steven immediately covered it up and whispered, "Oh, in fact, it's nothing. That is, Irish was lost once when she was very young, but she was soon found back. But, at that time, she was also frightened. Children with no adults around would always have no sense of security."
After saying this, he made up a question in a hurry. "What happened? Why did you suddenly ask?"
Joseph smiled and said everything was good. "I just think Irish lack a sense of security, which may have something to do with it. By the way, how did she get lost?"
Steven picked up the teacup and drank. "It's just that adults are careless, and you know that our generation takes care of their children freely, unlike your generation, which is good at caring for the children."
"Does Irish know about this?"
"She is so young. It's just that she was scared then, and it wasn't a good thing, so we wouldn't take the initiative to bring it up. Well, it wasn't much of a big deal." Steven said with a smile.
Joseph saw that Steven did not want to discuss it, so he gave up and chatted with him about other topics. Joseph once again led the topic to Irish but never asked why she had been lost. He just smiled and said, "Sometimes I get angry with Irish. Was she very naughty when she was a child?"
However, all parents like to recall their children's childhood, especially when they grow up. Steven was no exception. When he heard this, he put down his cups and couldn't wait to say, "She is a girl, climbing trees and houses all day long, and likes to catch bugs to scare the children around her. Neighbors didn't complain more about this."
Joseph also smiled because he could absolutely imagine the scene.
"Few girls were as naughty as she was, catching bugs and scaring children?"
"It was nothing new. In the second grade of Primary School, she got a small snake, and we didn't know where she got that. She secretly brought the snake to school and then intimidated a girl who was eating snacks during recess. At that time, the girl was so frightened that she kept the same posture during class. Later, the teacher found something wrong and quickly called an ambulance. When we were called to the hospital, we didn't know until we got there. Irish's classmate was really scared. It drove her to lose her sense of security, she was scared out of her soul, and it took a few weeks for the child to regain her consciousness." The mischief of children used to be a headache for him, but Steven, at present, had a sense of pride.
Although Joseph and Irish had been together for so long, he knew very little about her childhood. On the one hand, he rarely had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Steven or Mary. On the other hand, Irish rarely mentioned her childhood, and he was afraid that he would remind her of her unpleasant memories, so he did not ask.
So, that day, he was interested to hear Steven about Irish's stories as a child.
Steven only used the simplest words to depict the memories of the past, but Joseph's mind could follow Steven's words and quickly thought about Irish's mischievous appearance. Yes, he did not think Irish was quiet and obedient when she was a child, and a girl like her must have been recalcitrant when she was a child.
Therefore, after hearing Steven say that Irish took the snake to scare her classmates out of her soul, he was stunned for a while and then could not help laughing. She was only in the second grade of primary school. How could this girl be so brave?
"How did the school punish her?" Every child, in the eyes of parents, was very precious. Of course, Irish's family was still special. Although she was Rachael's only child, she could not become Lake's only child.
Steven was even more proud to hear that. "Punish? The girl is a genius. How can the school be willing to punish her?"
Joseph sighed that she had made such a big mistake with no punishment.
"You don't know, that girl, well, although very naughty, in the school she was really loved by the teacher. She is good at studying and smart. For every exam, she ranks first in the whole grade. In the first grade, she is the class monitor. Every time she gets first at the handicraft competition and sports meeting, she is the one who brightens the school. When the school asked her about it, she complained first, saying that the girl classmate always bullied other students because of her height and robbed other students of snacks to eat. Irish couldn't stand to watch, so she decided to teach her a lesson. She spoke with tears. When the school principal looked at her crying like this, she was reluctant to punish her, and the school suppressed it."
Joseph felt that Irish's deadliest weapon was torn. It was not that he had never seen her cry. On the contrary, she rarely cried and even said that there were only a few tears in front of him. Many times it was clear that there were tears in her eyes, but she still stubbornly held them back. But after the tears really came down, it was worse than killing him.
And next, Steven's words also agreed with Joseph's idea, he said, "Irish has been good-looking since childhood. It is even more painful when she cries, so she was not punished."
