Chapter 2372
Thinking about her own experiences, Destinee felt it was only fair her dad faced the same discipline.
Nathan was at a loss for words.
How had his kids turned against him like this?
However, Lucinda laughed and said, “Kids, you might have a point.
I’m off tomorrow.
How about we go shopping and I’ll buy you each your favorite toy?”
“Hooray! Mommy is the best!” Destinee cheered with glee.
Nathan remained silent, realizing he had lost any say in the family dynamics for the evening, not to mention any chance of sharing the bed with his wife.
He had forgotten about his jealousy from just a short while ago; now, all he wanted was to mend things with Lucinda.
“Lucinda, let me help with one of them.
These two little pigs must be getting heavy, right?”
Lucinda gave Nathan a cool look and remained silent.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Now that the kids were visibly upset with Nathan, she saw no need to scold him herself; the children were making their feelings clear enough.
Destinee’s face fell, and she looked genuinely upset.
“Daddy, how can you call us pigs? Mommy gave birth to us.
Are you saying Mommy was a pig?”
Nathan sighed deeply and said, “I’d appreciate some quiet.
”
Destinee responded, “I’m just telling the truth.
Why should I be quiet? Daddy, you did imply Mommy was a pig.
”
Colby added, “Mommy, you are so slender and pretty.
You’re not a pig.
Daddy is the one who needs a timeout.
”
Nathan looked at his two spirited children who seemed determined to challenge him.
He was speechless for a moment, and then, with a mix of frustration and resignation, he declared, “Alright, I’m a pig too.
We’re all just a bunch of playful pigs here!”
After Nathan’s remarks, the entire Payne family had transformed into pigs.
Their home had turned into a pigsty.
Lucinda struggled to contain her amusement as she hurried along with her two children in her arms, purposefully keeping her distance from her husband, who seemed clueless.
At the dinner table, Lucinda remained silent toward Nathan.
It appeared she was intentionally avoiding him.
After dinner, Nathan took charge of washing dishes and tidying the kitchen.
Lucinda assisted Destinee with her handicraft homework.
Colby, feeling bored, started working on math problems.
Two hours later, the peaceful evening drew to a close.
Lucinda took the children to the master bedroom, planning to sleep with them that night.
