Having Children
Davin was doing his best to defend himself.
“Adapt to his learning method? Please. All you’re doing is filling his head with gibberish! I’m warning
you. If you keep spouting this stuff to him, I’m going to skin you alive.”
From downstairs, everyone could hear Sheila’s screams, followed by Davin’s miserable and pained
cries.
Nicole and Evan looked at each other. They both simultaneously acknowledged how perfect Davin and
Sheila were for each other. If Davin had married someone gentler, she probably would have been
helpless against his antics.
Soon after, a set of hurried footsteps could be heard. Davin came running down with his head lowered.
Seeing Nicole and Evan in the living room, he quickly begged them for help.
“Evan, you’ve got to help me. Sheila is abusing me! Save me!”
Before Evan could respond, Sheila came down too. With a huff, she said, “Davin, no one can help you
now. I have to beat you up to release some of my anger.”
“Do you need a feather duster?” Evan chimed in cheerfully from his seat on the couch.
“Yes, please. Evan, be a dear and pass it to me.”
Evan smirked. He picked up the feather duster on the shelf and threw it toward Sheila. “Don’t hold
back. It’ll be fine as long as he’s still alive.”
Davin was baffled. Is Evan seriously encouraging this behavior? How could he not side with his own
brother?
“Evan, I’m your brother. How could you do this to me? Don’t you know that blood is supposed to be
thicker than water?”
“You brought it upon yourself. I side with logic, not blood.”
How cruel!
Sheila struck down accurately with the feather duster onto Davin’s back. He screamed in pain. “Sheep,
just you wait and see!” With that said, he ran out of the living room.
As the children in the courtyard watched this unfold, they sighed in unison.
“Poor Mr. Davin. Your mom is really something. There’s no way my mom would ever dare to act that
way toward my dad,” Luke exclaimed.
Zayden rubbed his head. “Daddy said women are allowed to beat men though. He said it’s an act of
love. However, men aren’t allowed to hit women.”
“Why not?”
“He said it’s abuse for men to hit women.”
“That seems rather unfair,” Luke commented. The two boys looked toward Joy in admiration. “It’s so
much better to be a girl. In my next life, I want to be a girl too.”
“It’s not nice to be a girl at all. Maya told me that women have it much harder. We need to know how to
earn money, work, run the house, and give birth to children. On the other hand, all men need to do is
earn money. I think every woman dreams about being a man instead,” Joy stated.
Luke thought about what she said. It made sense to him as he recalled how hard Tiffany had it.
By contrast, Zayden was not convinced. He mumbled, “I want to be a woman even more now.”
“Why?” Joy asked.
In a confident tone, he replied, “Because women can give birth. I want to have children.”
Coincidentally, Sheila, who was busy chasing after Davin, heard Zayden’s words. She stopped in her
tracks and looked over. “Who gave you ideas about having children? Was it your dad?”
“Uh…”
If I say yes, will Mommy forgive Daddy and stop chasing him?
With that in mind, he decided to let Davin take responsibility for his statement.
“Yes, that’s right. Daddy told me to have more children in the future.”
That jerk! What does he think he’s doing? Asking a child to have children… I will not rest until I’ve
taught him a proper lesson!
“Davin Seet, you stand right there!”
“No, I refuse! If you keep chasing after me, I’ll run away from home!”
“You’d better. If you don’t, I’ll chase you out myself!”
Seeing that his mother had become even fiercer than before, Zayden frowned. It seemed like his words
hadn’t helped his father as he intended to.
Oh, Daddy. I tried my best. Good luck to you!
