Chapter 102 She Doesn’t Even Understand

“As long as you’ve made up your mind, I’ll take you to get it cut.” I wasn’t going to argue the pros and cons with her. Yuna was stubborn by nature–if I asked her not to cut it, she’d definitely throw a huge tantrum.
The next day was the weekend. Early in the morning, I took Yuna to the hair salon. She had her hair cut short and stood in front of the mirror practicing her coolest expressions.
“Mommy, look at met Don’t I look like a little boy?” Yuna asked happily.
I looked at her. In that moment, I felt like I was seeing a smaller version of Shawn.
“You look like your dad,” 1 said.
“Really? Did my dad look like this when he was little? She blinked her big eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. “Hmphi Those bratty boys won’t dare look down on me now,”
was taken aback. Did Yuna cut her hair short just to get back at someone?
I brought her home. Shawn must not have slept well the night before, because he slept in today. By the time we got back, Susanna and Hazel had also arrived. The three of them were sitting in the living room, sipping tea and chatting.
“Oh my God! Tiffany, what have you done?” Susanna shrieked dramatically when she saw me walk in with short–haired Yuna.
Yuna had been expecting praise from her family, but she was so stunned by my mother–in–law’s over–the–top reaction that she froze for a second–then immediately ran to hide behind Shawn.
Shawn frowned and examined her boyish haircut closely, then turned to me with disapproval in his eyes. Tiffany, how could you let our daughter get such a short haircut?”
Hazel rolled her eyes at me and silently mouthed, “Crazy”
I knew every mistake Yuna made would always end up being my fault.
I was used to it.
“Yuna asked for the haircut,” I said.
Yuna clutched Shawn’s shirt nervously, then finally spoke in a small voice, “Yeah, I wanted to cut it. Doesn’t it look good?”
This time, I didn’t shield Yuna and take all the blame myself. Since she was the one who made the decision, I wanted her to speak up for herself.
“Oh, my darling, why would you cut off your hair that long–down to your waist–into something like this? It looks like it was chewed up by a dog. My mother–in–law finally stopped blaming me and turned her scolding to Yuna instead.
Shawn squatted down and asked Yuna seriously, “Why did you cut your hair? You’re a girl. Girls look prettier with long hair.”
“I don’t want to be pretty! Mommy is really pretty, but that doesn’t seem to help her much,” Yuna said, using me as a reference. She put her hands on her hips and spoke in an adult–like tone, “I want to fight like a boy!”
Shawn and my mother–in–law shared a glance before bursting into laughter. Then they gently pinched Yuna’s cheeks, and just like that, the haircut drama passed without further fuss.
Shawn looked up at me. Maybe because they’d just been blaming me earlier, he said, “If it was really Yuna’s idea, you still should’ve discussed it with me first.”
didn’t think much of his after–the–fact attempt to comfort me. I replied calmly, “She’s growing up. She can make her own decisions. I respect her wishes.

Susanna was amused again and let it go with a laugh.
Shawn glanced at me and said, “I have a flight to Sertonia this afternoon. Do you want to come?”
I narrowed my eyes. “What for?”

“I’m going there for a business meeting. Didn’t you say you felt bored staying here? I’ll bring you along for a refreshing change.” Out of nowhere. Shawn was actually being considerate of how I felt.
“Sure, I’ll go.” With an opportunity like this, of course I wasn’t going to waste it.
Susanna, however, objected. “Shawn, you’re going there for work. Is it really appropriate to bring Tiffany‘ She doesn’t even understand.”
“She doesn’t, but she can learn,” Shawn said, giving me a meaningful glance.
I narrowed my eyes slightly. Could it be that the argument we had last night actually got through to him?
What’s a housewife going to learn all that for?” Susanna said, clearly displeased.
Hazel chimed in lazily from the side, “Shawn, are you feeling bad for Tiffany? Are you trying to ditch Yuna with us and take her out for fun?”
Shawn glanced at me for a moment before quickly looking away and said in a neutral tone, “She hasn’t left Hanzora in a long time. A change of scenery might be good for her.”
“Daddy, I want to go too!” Yuna immediately started fussing. “Take me with you!”
