SWNOVELS Chapter 13 Play a New Trick
"Get off the bed. I don't want to say it again."
William frowned, saying with impatience. It was for Dayton's sake. This woman was not good enough to be Dayton's mother. Dayton was young. When growing up, Dayton would understand him. "Daddy...."
Dayton trembled and almost cried. He held back his tears, 'Mommy didn't like me. If she woke up and saw me crying, she would hate me even more.'
'Grandpa said that Mommy would like me if I behaved myself.'
"Dayton!"
William squinted. He was calm, yet seeing Dayton was so eager to get close with Jane, he was helpless with rage.
"William, why are you so harsh on Dayton?"
It was painful for Jane to see Dayton feeling sad and wronged. The scene that Dayton was about to cry flooded into her mind.
Jane stopped pretending to be asleep. After yelling at William, she realized what she had said.
She shouted at her lifesaver and long-term meal ticket. And it was after the female lead had done so many bad things to him.
William raised his eyebrows and lifted the corners of his mouth with scorn. In his memory, it was the first time Jane spoke to him like this. William thought that she might be done with the old trick and try to play a new one. But he didn't have the mood or the time to watch her. "Is it wrong?"
Jane blinked, trying to justify her weird behavior, "Dayton is just a child. Can't you be gentle?"
Maybe because of feeling guilty, Jane softened her tone.
"Jane, what kind of trick are you playing?"
Without cigarettes, William was playing with a lighter. He got a poker face, and yet he lifted the corners of his mouth with disdain.
After a while, he looked at Frederic and said, "Take Dayton out. I have something to talk to Jane."
"Daddy, I want to stay with Mommy."
Dayton objected. Just now, Jane spoke for him. Although they were just some words, he figured that Jane loved him. And he felt overjoyed in an instant. Dayton rubbed Jane's arm and was reluctant to leave.
Glancing at Jane, William didn't say anything.
"Dayton, listen. Mommy and Daddy have to talk. You and Uncle Frederic go outside and play for a while."
In the afternoon, Lainey had said that there were quite a few children's amusement facilities in the hospital, and they were safe. Dayton could kill the time there.
Jane had a feeling that William wouldn't say anything nice. They might have a quarrel. It was better that Dayton didn't hear it.
Parents always thought that children didn't know anything. In fact, children were sensitive.
For example, she couldn't forget that her father beat her mother when she was a child. Even if she became an orphan and spent another 20 years alone, she still remembered it. Dayton reluctantly went out, and William closed the door right away. Jane sat upright, waiting for William to lecture her.
"Let's get divorced. I'll have my lawyer call you."
William cut to the chase.
How was their marriage? No one knew better than themselves. He would give Jane everything that she asked.
Houses, cars, shares, overseas assets, etc. Everything he could afford.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
