“This slap is ten years overdue.”
Without waiting for her reaction, I slapped her again and said, “With this slap, you and I are now even. Get out of my house, or I’ll send you to jail!”
I turned around and left.
Barely a few steps later, Everett caught up and said, “Mom.”
I stopped and watched my son approach me. “Do you have anything else to say?”
“Mom.” Many emotions passed over his face. “I don’t know what to do.
“I didn’t know Grandma was that kind of person.” Everett stepped closer to me. “I’m so ashamed of her. Please take me with you. I don’t want a criminal grandma and a father who can’t keep a roof over our heads. I know you love me the most, so take me away with you.”
When Everett said this, he didn’t notice Rowan was hurrying over. I smiled. “Oh, you don’t like your dad?”
“I’ve been unhappy with him for a long time,” Everett said to himself. “How can someone who can’t even afford a $4,000 game console deserve to be my dad? Mom, I’ll definitely treat you well from now on. Please take me away.‘
I looked at Rowan’s livid face and smiled. “Did you hear that?”
Everett was stunned for a moment.
I said, “This is your good son.‘
Without waiting for Everett’s reaction, I smiled at him again. “I’m so sorry. When your father and I got divorced, I didn’t ask for your custody rights. I don’t have a son like you, so you’d better stay with your father and grandmother.”
I turned around and left.
Everett wanted to chase me, but Rowan stopped him. Rowan was already furious with me, and his own son just backstabbed him. He was so angry that he slapped Everett across the face.
“You ingrate! How could you do this to your own father?!”
Everett was young and energetic. As Rowan beat him, he thought about how tough life would be in the future, so he immediately fought back.
“If you
hadn’t insisted on bringing Grandma back, would Mom have left? Would she have ignored me like she did just now? It’s all your fault!”
Everett punched Rowan in the face.
Rowan was stunned. “You actually hit me? I think you’ve learnt the worst from your mother!”
