Chapter 978 - Bullies (1/2)

There were only two things that could make Rowan feel miserable. One, he wasn't allowed to play with his sisters. Two, he wasn't allowed to eat all his favorite food made by his own mother! No one could possibly understand what he was going through right now.

Darren could see the way Rowan's face changed color and found it quite adorable actually. Although Rowan was good at acting, he was still too young. And because of his age, it was difficult for him to control his expressions. How could Darren not be able to see all his thoughts written all over his face?

Darren could understand why his son had to eat just porridge but there was still something he couldn't understand.

”Sweets, did you ground Rowan?”

”Yes,” came the reply.

”Why?” he asked..

Xiu put her chopsticks down and looked at her son, ”Young man, would you like to tell your father about your heroic deeds?” Rowan buried his head into his bowl and didn't dare to look at his mother making Xiu sigh out. ”You love to complain about me but can't tell your father what you did wrong in the first place?”

”Mommy, it wasn't my fault,” Rowan was still insisting on the fact that he wasn't in the wrong that really irked Xiu.

”What happened?” asked Darren. He felt weird since he was the only one who didn't know anything here. This feeling wasn't really good.

”Since you think it's not wrong to beat someone up, then there is no need for you to have this discussion with me,” said Xiu sternly. ”You can go back to your room when you're done eating.”

Darren's eyes widened, ”Rowan beat someone up?”

”I did not,” said Rowan in a small voice.

Darren looked at his wife in question. Xiu rubbed her temples to ease her headache. Today wasn't really her day. She had a headache since this morning and because of that, she even felt like beating this son of hers who kept on insisting that he didn't do anything wrong.

Xiu didn't even eat much because she was not feeling well.

After Rowan went back to his room obediently, only then did Darren ask Xiu for details. Since Xiu wasn't planning on hiding anything from her husband anyway, so she gave him all the details...
