Zayne spoke plausibly and volubly, "If a girl learns how to do the housework, she'll grow up to become a better wife and mother in the future. You should give Baby Zetty the chance to practice."
Jay rolled his eyes at Zayne and retorted, "When your daughter is born, you can let her practice as often as you want. We don’t raise idlers at home. I want both of you to get your butts in the kitchen and wash the dishes, or you can set up a separate kitchen tonight."
Josephine and Zayne stood up reluctantly, walking into the kitchen while carefully holding the plates.
From time to time, the sound of broken dishes could b e heard coming from the kitchen.
Baby Zetty would quiver every time she heard the sound of porcelain smashing on the floor. Then, she said ruefully, "What a pity. That was a good bowl."
Jay said calmly, "Just take it as if you're paying a tuition fee."
Jay was pleased to see Baby Zetty so well-behaved and obedient.
"Come here, Baby Zetty."
Baby Zetty walked over. "Daddy." She let out a bright and dazzling smile.
Jay reached out and pinched her little nose. "It has been so long since I last took a good look at my little princess."
Baby Zetty sat on Daddy's lap and acted like a baby." Because Her Highness is all you see."
"Are you mad at Daddy?"
Baby Zetty replied, "Not at all. My classmates are really envious when they see how much my parents love each other. Several of their parents have either filed for divorce or experienced domestic violence. They would hide in a corner and cry every time they g o to school. They're really pitiful.
"That's why, Daddy, you must treat Mommy well."
Moved with emotions, Jay said, "Don't worry, I promise to love Mommy for the rest of my life. I won't beat her nor scold her and will always pamper her. This is my promise to you."
Baby Zetty nodded cheerfully. "Mm!"
On Peach Blossom County’s streets, Angeline and Shirley stood in front of Kennedy Pharmacy. The two hesitated for a moment and eventually walked inside.
