I Bit Him
Zayden nodded his assent, but his mind was tangled. Daddy is telling me to use my fists while Mommy
advised me to use my head instead. Who should I listen to, Daddy or Mommy?
Sheila came down from upstairs just as Davin finished saying that. He saw her coming and
immediately shifted his focus to her. “You’re not allowed to teach the boy to use his brain and not use
force in the future. He won’t dare to fight back if anyone bullies him in this case. Look at what your
advice did! Does he still look like he’s my son? The Seet family’s children cannot be bullied!”
He then turned to Joy and said, “Let Zayden be more like Joy from now on. Let him try his best to make
those who bullied him cry.”
Joy’s big eyes went to Davin as she said, “Uncle Davin, you said I was a little troublemaker just now.”
“No, you’re not a little troublemaker. You’re a little thinking tank. You’re a heroine among women. You
were right to start the challenge this morning!”
All of them were silent hearing this.
On the other side of the video call, Evan and Nicole both felt Davin’s opinion had changed too quickly
and thought that he was holding a double standard.
Davin, on the other hand, had completely left his plan of complaining to Evan and Nicole about their
daughter behind. All he could think about at the moment was how he would have to educate his son, all
while praising Joy for helping his son out.
Evan didn’t want to hear Davin’s yammering anymore, so he promptly hung up the call. He then looked
at Nicole and said, “Let’s take Joy back from Imperial Garden in the evening.”
“Yeah, I haven’t seen her for a few days. I really miss her.”
The two went to Imperial Garden to pick up Joy after finishing their work in the evening. Their daughter
ran toward them with her arms wide open upon seeing them.
“Mommy, Daddy!”
Evan picked her up and held her in his arms. He scanned her over before pinching her cheek and
saying, “It seems that you’ve gained some weight.”
Joy followed his movements and pinched her own cheek with her little hand. She then smiled and said,
“I sneakily ate a lot of cheese.”
“Why sneakily? Just eat them in the open if you like them.”
“Sneaking cheese from the kitchen is very exciting. The maids didn’t notice and even thought the mice
had gotten to it.”
Evan didn’t know what to say.
What kind of reason is that? What a mischievous little girl.
It was then Evan noticed a bruise that looked like it came from someone’s pinch on her arm and asked,
“Where did you get that?”
Joy’s bright eyes wandered for a moment before she answered with, “A fight.”
“Why? Was it when you were challenging the other kids this morning? Did you fight at that time?”
“No.” Joy firmly shook her head.
Evan took another careful look and finally saw that the bruise appeared to be a few days old. It didn’t
look like it had happened just that morning.
“When did it happened and who did it?”
“A few days ago. A kid I bit did it.”
Bit?
“You bit someone?”
Joy’s large, mischievous eyes stared at Evan, though she said nothing in reply.
Nicole came closer to them and asked, “Why did you do that?”
“Because…”
“Joy wasn’t at fault so you can’t blame her for that! It wasn’t her who started it! That brat snatched the
balloon she was holding, so she asked him to return it. Not only did he not do that, he even pushed her.
That’s why she bit him,” Sophia defended Joy before continuing, “Joy is the most similar to me among
my grandchildren! Let me take care of her from now on.”
Both Evan and Nicole were speechless upon hearing that.
Evan felt that his daughter was truly quite fearless and similar to a mouse from a certain cartoon.
Nicole was of the opinion that Joy should be taught how to restrain herself. It wasn’t good for a girl to
behave in such a violent and rough manner.
“Mom, we’re going to take Joy back with us for a few days. We’ll send her back to you later.”
“I don’t want Joy to go!” Zayden ran over to them and grabbed onto Joy’s arm.
Nicole thought for a few moments before suggesting, “Why don’t you stay over at Imperial Garden with
us for a few days?”
Zayden hesitated, but Davin was quite happy with Nicole’s suggestion. He strode over to join them and
turned to the two children before saying, “Go on then, Zayden! Imperial Garden is much more fun than
the Seet Residence. You can go and play there for a few days and return here together after!”
