Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1812

Arianne was having a slight headache. “Stop crying for now and let me take a look at that! So, Chubby Chuck snatched Lil’ P’s toy and even pushed him, did he? You were right to protect your little brother, but you can’t just go up to him and swing a punch at him now, can you? What if you injured his eyes or somewhere important? We must be virtuous first; if we can’t get our logic across to them, then we tell the teachers. The teachers won’t be able to overlook the situation since it happened in school. Of course, I’m not asking you to keep it inside and not retaliate when you’re being bullied. You’re free to let it out if someone hits you first. You’ve got to be tough when you have to, but you have to weigh the severity of the situation first too.”

The more Arianne spoke, the more aggrieved Smore became. He cried so much, he had trouble kneeling down. Arianne, no longer able to bear seeing him in this state, hugged him. “All right, stop crying now. It’s shameful for a man to cry so much. Go get a shower and have an early rest, you still have to go to school tomorrow.”

Smore snivelled as he headed upstairs. It seemed that he was still extremely aggrieved. ‘I suppose a child isn’t able to differentiate between right and wrong in their minds. What a headache.’

Mark said in a muffled voice, “I don’t feel sorry for him, nor did I ask him to get up. You’re the one who gave in to him first.”

Arianne shot a glance at him. “Did you do it on purpose to show me? He’s so thinly dressed in the summer, yet you asked him to kneel down on such a hard stool. He's probably going to have a bruise on his knees when he wakes up tomorrow. I’ve never seen that small stool at home. Where did you get it?”

Mark faintly sneered beneath his lips. “I prepared it especially for him to teach him a lesson. I asked Jackson already—Chubby Chuck’s parents are the ones who’ve outrageously spoilt their child to be so disrespectful. In fact, I think Smore wasn’t wrong at all, but you’re the one who insisted on setting things straight. If it were in the past, I wouldn’t have left things just like that.”

‘Chubby Chuck’s parents aren’t pleasant people, I have to agree with that. They were initially behaving as though their child was a king, bending towards him wherever he went. However, now that the matter is resolved, there’s no need for me to dwell on it any longer. Otherwise, it would only seem like I’m trying to cause trouble.’

“All right, it wasn’t a serious matter, so let’s leave it at that. Plus, the child that ended up being beaten wasn’t yours, so what more do you want? I’m tired. I’m going to take a shower and sleep. You should get an early rest as well.”
