Chapter 968: Chapter 937: Our Daughter Grows Up (2)

"Dad, what do you think we should do?"

Curly wasn’t even home yet, but he could already imagine his mom losing her temper.

"Jayce, what did you promise me?

We agreed that nobody should know, especially Mom, but in just one day, you exposed us."

"..."

"Jayce, you’ve really let me down."

Adrian squatted on the ground, wiped his face, and started to get a headache. Curly could act cute and charming—what could he do?

If he acted cute in front of Sienna, she’d just kick him in the face.

"It’s all Glasses Kid’s fault. If he hadn’t tattled to the teacher, the teacher would never have known."

"..."

"Dad, well, I made plans with Cindy to go to her place today to do homework... Mrs. Wright assigned a lot of homework, so I might have to stay overnight at Cindy’s house..."

"..."

"Dad, tell Mom I won’t be coming home tonight. Probably not tomorrow or the day after either."

"Haha..." He wanted to leave him alone to face Sienna’s wrath.

Adrian looked at his daughter, who kept sneaking glances at him, her head down in guilt, rubbing her toes on the ground.

"Dad, are you okay going home by yourself?"

"There’s a problem!"

Curly raised her head and said to Adrian, "Dad, you’re so tall. Even if Mom spanked you, it wouldn’t hurt."

"If your mom spanked me, my dignity would be gone."

"Dad, dignity isn’t worth much. You should relax—once you get through it the first time, it’ll be much better the second time."

"Do you want your mom to regularly spank me in the future?"

"Haha, of course not. But it’s all your fault. If you’d married a gentle wife like Kiki, we wouldn’t have all these troubles today."

Curly looked at Adrian sympathetically, "Auntie Leanne said that the kind of wife a man marries determines the kind of life he’ll lead.

Dad, you have money, good looks, and long legs, so why did you fall for my mom, the tigress?"

Adrian flicked his daughter’s forehead lightly, "Ow, Dad, why did you hit me? You’re so annoying!"

"Who told you to badmouth my wife? What’s wrong with my wife? She’s beautiful and smart, and she cooks well.

My wife is about to have a baby and she still got up early to make you breakfast knowing you were moving up to the senior class today. You barely ate a few bites before running off this morning...

Jayce, how can you be so ungrateful?"

"..."

"Do you know, when your mom gave birth to you, she had a severe hemorrhage and almost lost her life. Instead of being grateful, you’re badmouthing my wife.

If I had known, I would have thrown you away when you were born."

Curly pouted unhappily and said, "Now you’re even scolding me."

"From now on, no badmouthing my wife!"

"Got it, you’re annoying!" Curly stuck her tongue out at him and made a face.

"Being mischievous again!" Adrian rubbed her chubby face, making it look strange, and he laughed.

"Ouch, ouch..." Curly mumbled indistinctly.

Adrian released her, and Curly rubbed her own face, saying, "Why do you all love pinching my face?"

"Because it’s chubby and feels nice."

"Mom’s cheeks are chubbier, go pinch hers."

Adrian: ...

It was already past school dismissal time, and there were few students left around the school. Curly thought about having to go home and felt a bit anxious.

Thinking it over, Curly said, "How about we run away from home together?"

"Jayce, have you heard a saying?"

"..."

"What saying?"

"You can run from the monk, but you can’t run from the temple!"

"Then what should we do? Mom is so scary."

Just as the father and daughter were devising a strategy, Adrian’s phone rang. He took it out, glanced at it, and said to Curly, "It’s your mom calling."

"If she’s looking for me, just say I’m not here!"

"Your mom knows I’m here to pick you up after school."

"Then say I went to Cindy’s house," Curly whispered.

"Jayce, if you’re so disloyal, how can we play together in the future!"—we’ll go down together, and Adrian picked up his daughter and put her in the car.

"Curly, you’re not coming to my house anymore..." Olivia Ford shouted from beside her dad toward Adrian’s car.
