William Hale couldn't stand the mere thought of his daughter falling in love with another man and marrying someone else. Little Vera seemed to sense her father's displeasure and cuddled closer to him.
Rubbing against his face, the normally stern Mr. Hale melted instantly.
The little girl loved to act cute and adored being held by her father.
She clung to him like a little accessory, always demanding kisses, hugs, and snuggles.
One day, Isaac Shea saw this scene and went home to pick up Ivy, wanting to snuggle with her too. And then...
Ivy slapped him several times!
She then looked at Hannah Johnson with a face full of grievance, as if she was the one being bullied.
Isaac Shea explained, "He hit me first!"
Hannah said helplessly, "You're arguing with a little kid?"
It wasn't that he was being petty; those slaps genuinely hurt!
