I don’t know how long it took, Brayden slowly opened his eyes and looked at his watch, it was already dark.
After sleeping for a whole day, soon, he regained his previous mental appearance.
“You’re up? Hurry up and eat.” Dolly whispered as she busied herself.
“It smells so good, Mom, you’re a great cook!” Franklin suddenly came running out of his room.
Brayden looked at the mischievous child in front of her with some surprise in her eyes.
“Franklin, buy new clothes?” He asked deliberately.
Naturally, he remembered the comments of those employees in the morning, and there was a feeling of anger in his heart.
“Well, Dad, it’s something Uncle Davidson bought just for me.” Franklin answered bluntly.
The world of small children, still relatively simple, Franklin had no idea what the consequences of his words were, but Dolly, in the kitchen, her body trembled.
“That, while shopping, met Stanley, he also went to the mall to buy something, so we went shopping together …” Dolly hurriedly explained.
Brayden looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously, somewhat dissatisfied.
The old Dolly was not like this, she did not like to accept gifts from others easily, especially other men, how come she met Stanley now, and even made an exception?
“Hey, when did Brayden come back? I haven’t seen you for days.” Suddenly, Mrs. Knight came in from outside.
Mrs. Knight’s body was recovering better and better, and she could already go out for a walk, so these days she had been going to the garden to take care of her beloved flowers and plants, and for Brayden and Dolly’s affairs, she really didn’t pay much attention to them. However, she did know that Brayden hadn’t been back home for a long time.
“Madam, there are more things going on in the company these days.” Brayden explained.
Mrs. Knight looked at the man in front of her, and then looked at Dolly next to her, feeling that the atmosphere around her was a bit off, and had a few thoughts in her mind.
“You should have told me earlier, I should have told you to let Dolly send you a change of clothes, so many days without home, your body should be smelly, right?” She joked, trying to break the icy situation.
Instantly, Dolly felt a little embarrassed.
Because Brayden hadn’t come home for so many days, she hadn’t visited him at work either. That was a bit of a dereliction of duty on her part as a wife.
“No need, Dolly has been quite busy lately.” Brayden whispered directly.
“Mom, I’m hungry, can you hurry up.” Franklin looked at Dolly who was serving rice for him and asked softly.
“Oh good, here’s Franklin’s rice, kids need to be good eaters to have the strength to do their homework.” Dolly put the rice in front of Franklin and touched the child’s head and said.
“Well, Uncle Davidson said, I want to become a man, so that when I grow up I can protect and take care of mommy and grandma!” Franklin shouted.
At once, Brayden’s eyes revealed a few bitterness.
Nowadays, even the children, mouth will also be from time to time uttered Stanley’s name.
“Come on Franklin stop shouting, hurry up and eat, you have to do your homework later.” Mrs. Knight hurriedly gestured to him to be quiet.
The family, gathered around a small table chewing the meal, but Dolly felt a little nervous.
Was he angry? Would he misunderstand the relationship between himself and Stanley? Dolly kept picking at the rice in her bowl, but she was distracted.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you? Are you unhappy? Is someone bullying you? Don’t worry, Daddy and I will protect you!” Franklin swore and patted his chest, saying loudly.
Brayden, next to him, looked up at Dolly across the room, but there was no glow in his eyes.
“It’s okay, maybe because mommy is a little tired today, come on Franklin eat more meat, to grow up oh.” Dolly smiled faintly and skimmed Brayden, the man did not have any reaction.
This scene, Mrs. Knight watched are a little embarrassed. Finally, she still couldn’t resist kicking Brayden gently under the table.
“Uh …” Brayden looked at Mrs. Knight.
Mrs. Knight didn’t say anything, just coughed gently and tilted her head towards Dolly.
“What’s the matter with you, ma’am?” Brayden asked bluntly.
Mrs. Knight froze, what the hell is this? Isn’t it obvious? It must be for Brayden to say something nice to Dolly!
“No, I’m full, I’m going to take a break.” Mrs. Knight muttered as she exited the small dining room.
Before, she had never felt how small the dining room in her house was, and now it did seem quite small.
“Dad, I missed you these days when you were away, and it’s a good thing Uncle Davidson was here or else I really wouldn’t have had anyone to participate in the last school tree planting event with.” Franklin said while eating a large mouthful of meat.
Stanley again! Brayden put the dishes down and clenched his fist, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.
Dolly felt even more embarrassed at the words spoken by the child.
“Well, I’ve called you many times before, but you didn’t answer, just when Stanley was passing by, so he joined Franklin in the class tree planting activity. The school rules state that only the child’s father can go, not the mother.” Dolly carefully looked across the table at Stanley and explained in a low voice.
So what? She, and Franklin, had taken their relationship with Stanley to another level? Brayden sneered.
His wife was shopping with other men, buying clothes for his children, and his children were letting other men take their place at the school’s parent-child activities and tree-planting events… it was ridiculous to think about it!
Not answering the phone? Couldn’t she just go to the office? Even if the work is busy, things are more, the child’s affairs, he can not ignore!
Excuses! Everything is just an excuse! At this time Brayden, a burst of anger in his heart.
“I’m done eating, tonight I’m going to the company to deal with the problem, will not come back.” Saying that, Brayden directly got up and walked out of the restaurant.
Franklin was still in the dark, but Dolly had a sad face.
“Mom, is dad unhappy?” The child suddenly asked.
Yes, he was just angry!
“No, Daddy has been busy lately. Come on, Franklin try this dish that Mommy made and see how it tastes.” Dolly said while holding the dish for the child.
Franklin looked back at the direction Brayden had left, and there was some loss in his eyes.
He had wanted to play a game with his dad, but it turned out that …
