Suddenly, Damian squatted down beside her. "Be careful," he said gently, showing concern.
Gigi looked up helplessly, tears welling in her eyes.
"Why are you crying? It's just a broken bowl. I'm not mad." Damian tenderly wiped away her tears. But his touch only made her cry harder.

Damian had seen her cry many times before. She was a crybaby, and he was used to it. But whenever she cried, he felt he couldn't do much but wait for her to stop.
This time, Gigi cried for a shorter period, which was unusual. After she finished crying, she sniffed and tried to sound more calm. She managed not to twitch at least.
Gigi sniffled, trying to compose herself. "What would you do if it was Pea crying?" Damian smirked, finding her question hilarious. "She wouldn't cry over something like this." To him, Pearl was always strong and resilient, like a rose. But Gigi was different, more fragile like a daisy in the wind.
Besides, Gigi cried a lot, which made Damian feel like he couldn't help her.
Gigi shook her head. "She would cry. Just tellwhat you would do." Damian thought about it. What would he do if Pearl cried? For sure, he would hug her and try to make her feel better, even though comforting people wasn't his strong suit.
This was just him hoping. He knew he would never really get the chance to comfort her.
Yet, he didn't want to believe this. So, he stood up and silently threw the pieces away into the trash bin.
Gigi grew anxious because of his silence and stood up. "Answer my question." "I don't want to." "Why can't you share sof the gentleness you have for her with me? Is it because I'm an orphan? My family background isn't as great as hers. I'm not as special or pretty as her.." But she apologized quickly, her voice trembling. "I'm sorry, Dame. I was over the line." Gigi sounded like she was about to cry again.
Damian suddenly felt very sorry for her.

W He couldn't give her something he didn't have.
"It's okay. Just be careful next time," he said stiffly, retreating upstairs to hide his conflicted feelings.
He didn't know how to stop this inexperienced young woman, but he knew he couldn't let her go any further.
He started to regret giving her a month to try to win him over. She might bectoo attached.
As Damian closed the door behind him, he heard the sound of running water and muffled sobs from the kitchen. Guilt almost overwhelmed him, but he couldn't allow himself to give in to those emotions.
