There were times when Xyla Quest honestly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry about Sharon Lindt.
Sharon Lindt would always blame everything on Stanley Batton regardless of why or what happened to make Xyla feel down.
Moreover, Sharon had a knack for sounding very persuasive when hurling accusations at her sons.
It was a pretty impressive talent of hers.
Right then, Sharon had a grave expression on her face. “Why shouldn’t I? You’re obviously unhappy, so how could I not blame him? Besides, no matter what happens, it’s always Stanley’s fault whenever you’re not in a good mood.”
Josh Batton wore a helpless look on his face. “I feel bad for Stanley. Mom, is he even your real son?”
“Whenever he makes Xyla unhappy, I’d wish he wasn’t,” his mother grumbled.
Josh gently patted his brother on his shoulder. “My heart goes out to you, Bro.”
“You don’t have to feel sorry for him. I think of you the same way,” she reminded him with a deadpanned expression.
His facial expression instantly turned gloomy at her reminder. “Hehe, I know," he said with a chuckle. "While I feel sorry for Stanley, I also feel sorry for myself. Although, some things need not be said.”
“I don't see a reason to hold back. It's how things are. As my son, you must always remember what I said, got it?” she asked.
“Okay, got it,” he replied.
“Yes, sure,” Stanley agreed.
Both men seemed very obedient in front of their mother.
Xyla and Annabeth Cates gave each other helpless glances before smiling at their reactions.
They both felt sorry for their pitiful husbands.
