Stanley Batton promised Xyla Quest last night that he wouldn’t spoil their children without limits.
He had said he would deny some of their illogical requests.
Then why did he change his mind?
He jumped guiltily when he saw his wife. “I was planning to replace that chandelier, anyway. It doesn’t look good anymore.”
Xyla continued to frown. “Stanley, how could you do this? Didn’t we agree on not spoiling the kids? Why didn’t you keep your promise?”
It was the first time he had failed to keep his promise and over something like that.
When Xyla was pregnant, she remembered her husband saying he’d guide their children properly so that they would not become spoiled brats.
Now, she wanted to know if he still remembered what he said.
“That-Anyway, the chandelier needs to be replaced,” Stanley uttered without much conviction.
“It doesn’t! It’s brand new. We bought it just before they were born to decorate the nursery. It’s only been a year!” she yelled in exasperation.
“Besides, this chandelier costs tens of millions. How could you get rid of it so easily?”
Stanley had obviously crossed the line.
This time, Xyla refused to let him get away with spoiling their children.
She couldn’t always let him do as he wanted.
“Come on, be honest! You don’t want to replace the chandelier, do you? You’re only using that as an excuse,” she added.
“You didn’t have to point it out,” he countered.
She let out a long sigh at his words and then grabbed the intercom from Stanley to address the man. “You don’t have to remove the chandelier. You can continue to rest.”
“Waa!”
