Chapter 986 - On Your Side (2/2)

”Exactly,” said Darren. ”And that's why babies are at home with their grandparents.”

”Oh...” Rowan finally understood it and nodded his head.

Darren patted his head and urged him, ”Go over and play now with your Uncle JJ.” Rowan hurriedly ran away to play. Behind him, Darren glared at his best friend, ”Do you have to talk nonsense in front of a kid?”

”What nonsense? I was telling him the truth,” said Dylan. ”Didn't you tell me that we should be honest with kids?”

Darren facepalmed himself, ”Some white lies won't hurt them. Since they are too young to know the absolute truth of life.”

”It seems Dylan's triplets are eating up his brain,” commented Ah-Si.

”Did he ever have a brain?” was Xiu's response.

Dylan glared at them unhappily, ”Y'all are lucky that you only have one child. I have three! All at the same time! Do you even know what kind of mental situation I have right now? It's tiring! If we hug one, the other starts crying. If we feed one, the next one would start throwing tantrums. They are only a year old and I'm already feeling like an old man!”

Xiu nodded her head, ”Oh, poor you, old man!”

”It's not funny!” insisted Dylan.

”Who laughed?” questioned Xiu. She looked at everyone and told him, ”No one really laughed here.”

”I think it's Cali who is having it tougher than you,” said Darren. ”I don't see her whining like you. You're not the first parent of triplets in the world. Everyone manages. And you even have your parents to take care of them. You hired five nannies as well. Is it still that difficult?”

”It is!” answered Dylan. ”Because they sleep in our room at night and I am the one who can't sleep because of their crying.”

”Why do I think, you're just jealous that your thunder is lost?” questioned Nora.

”Huh?” Dylan was confused by her words.

”I mean you have been a baby of the house for way too long and now that someone else came to take your place, you're just jealous.”

Ah-Si spurted the water he was drinking and stared at his wife.

Nora tsked at him, ”It's partially Cali's fault as well. Even she continued to treat you like her baby and that's what spoiled you so much.”

”Y'all are just not ready to take my side, are you?” questioned Dylan.

”I'm on your side,” said Xiu as she raised her hand.. ”I'm always on your side.”
