Jenson stared speechlessly at Baby Robbie. "What did I do to you?"
"You said that I have no principles."
Jenson said stiffly, "You don't have principles."
Thinking that this was a big deal at first, Angeline did not expect the children to be arguing because of a matter that was as small as the point of a needle.
Angeline stood dumbfoundedly on the same spot, and for a while, she did not know how to mediate the conflict between her children.
Jay straightened his spine and said, "Let's hear it, then. In what sort of way does he have no principles?”
Jenson said, "He pretended to be gay last time in order to hide his identity."
Baby Robbie said, "That’s called a white lie."
"It's not right to lie." Jenson intensified the conflict deliberately.
Baby Robbie was speechless. In the end, he glanced at Mommy and had a sudden clever idea. "Ask Mommy i f she has lied to anyone before. Perhaps you were even born from a lie yourself."
Angeline was unjustly attacked while just being
present. Her entire face flushed crimson.
She then made a specious argument. "I... I did lie, but you have to look at who you're lying to. This lie was harmless between me and your dad because one was willing to lie and another was willing to be lied to. But between the two of you, one is willing to lie yet the other isn't willing to accept that lie. That makes the lie wrong."
Jay stared dumbfoundedly at the cowardly woman and grinned.
Jay distracted Angeline thoughtfully. "Can you pour m e a glass of water, Angeline?"
Angeline immediately ran off.
Jay’s expressionless handsome face suddenly cracked coldly as he reprimanded the children, "I don’t care how you argue with each other out there, but you'd better behave yourself in front of Mommy."
