CHAPTER 497: HAVE YOU REALLY DEVELOPED FEELINGS AFTER RAISING HIM FOR THREE YEARS?

Daisy Ginger moved her lips, but didn’t speak.

She also thought this brat deserved a spanking.

Kids like this need a beating!

Even at such a young age, talking about death; truly, isn’t this what you’d expect from the sick education of Robert Stephens...

Daisy secretly cursed, glancing at the man sitting in the wheelchair. His face showed a gloomy expression mixed with a hint of heartache.

As expected, he reached out and pulled George Stephens, who had just been hit, away from Edward Stephens, looking sternly at Edward: "Why can’t you just talk? Why did you have to hit him?"

Edward Stephens gave him a mocking look, "I’m disciplining my son, what makes you think you have the right to intervene?"

Robert Stephens squinted and said, "Edward Stephens, you didn’t even come home when your son was sick because of a woman. Do you think you have what it takes to be a father?"

"I thought you knew how he came into the world," Edward retorted sarcastically. "Raised him for three years, and you’ve really developed feelings? He probably doesn’t know that you whipped his mother until her skin was torn apart. Never saw you showing any pity then."

These words immediately made Robert Stephens’ face turn grim.

Daisy was listening, feeling a bit inexplicably tense.

After all, the fear of this man ran deep to her bones.

Edward Stephens stood fearlessly in front of Robert Stephens, already showing the demeanor of someone standing alone, shielding her from Robert’s gaze.

The child, with red eyes, was being protected by Robert. He seemed utterly shocked that Edward Stephens would hit him for Daisy’s sake. He was in Robert’s arms, staying quiet for quite a while, before suddenly bursting into loud cries.

He cried just like any ordinary kid, rolling around in Robert’s embrace, wailing loudly, causing Daisy to have a headache.

Daisy tugged on Edward Stephens’ hand and whispered, "Edward, let it go."

What’s the point of quarreling with a three-year-old? His worldview isn’t mature yet; he probably picked up such behavior from being around Robert.

The biggest problem was obviously the man sitting in the wheelchair.

Daisy peeked from behind Edward and cautiously sized up Robert, noticing he seemed equally troubled by George’s crying.

He berated him a few times, but it not only failed to stop the crying, it made the howling even louder.

This kid...

Is he really Edward’s kid?

Daisy was at her wit’s end, couldn’t stand it any longer, and tugged on Edward’s hand, "Forget it, let’s go, let’s just leave."

After being disciplined by Edward, this little rascal probably hated her even more.

She considered whether she should head back to the city for a few days to avoid a potential set-up by this little brat.

Edward seemed like he wanted to discipline more, but since George was being shielded by Robert, he had no way to pull him out of his arms, and Daisy kept tugging at him, persistently dragging him out of the room.

"What are you doing?!"

A man’s low, displeased voice came from the doorway.

Daisy pulled him, "Let’s go, just go back and sleep!"

The footsteps gradually faded away.

Robert looked down at George, who was still bawling in his arms, and said indifferently, "Alright, they’re gone. Why are you still crying?"

"..." George’s cries subsided, and he just lifted his tender little face, pouting. His eyelashes, like small fans, were dotted with tears, and his slapped face was still red and swollen, looking so aggrieved and pitiful that it softened hearts.

He remembered when Edward Stephens was his age, he was quite adorable too. Unfortunately, the older he grew, the more rebellious he became.
