Chapter 1355 Changing Wives

Sheila proceeded to study Davin with a strange look in her eyes. Uneasy at her scrutiny, Davin likewise used the same peculiar gaze to eyeball her.

After the two of them had stared at each other for some time, Sheila abruptly giggled.

Surprise inundated Davin. “Why are you laughing? Is it because you think that you’ve found a suave and handsome husband whom you find increasingly pleasing the more you look at me and feel buoyed with joy?”

Upon hearing that, Sheila curled her lips in disdain. “I’m just astonished that a good-for-nothing person like you can actually be so philosophical. It looks like you’re not all that bad.”

Disgruntlement swamped Davin. “I don’t like the way you’re speaking of me. I know plenty of philosophical stuff, but I didn’t want to flaunt myself as a nerd. I’m actually keeping a low profile without showing off.”

That remark of his rendered Sheila speechless.

She then scoffed, “Yeah, you’re very low-profiled, so much so that everyone in Y City knows that you’re a good-for-nothing who loves drinking and brawling!”

“Well, you still like me despite my flaws, no? Since we were in kindergarten, you pursued me relentlessly.”

“That proves that I was truly ignorant in my youth and was blinded for some inexplicable reason,” Sheila lamented on a sigh.

At that, Davin’s brows knitted together. Hmm, she’s actually going as far as denigrating herself just to heap scorn on me?

“Not only were you blind, but you even had your wires crossed. You must have been not quite right in the head. In fact, everything about you from head to toe must have malfunctioned back then.”

Listening to his criticisms, Sheila immediately grew livid. With her hands at her hips, she shot daggers at him. “I gave you gave an inch, and you took a mile, huh, Davin? Go ahead and say another derogatory word about me if you dare!”

“You started it first. I was merely following your lead! How is that wrong?” Davin argued, feigning an innocent expression.

“I can belittle myself, but not you! Apologize right this instant!”

“No way!”

“Great, just great! You’re going against me now. You must be yearning for me to teach you a lesson again, yes?”

“I’m confused, Sheep. Before we got married, you pursued me doggedly. Why have things changed after we got married? After having Zayden, especially, your status at home skyrocketed. Every so often, you threaten to teach me a lesson and punish me as you please. You’re really getting audacious now!”

“That’s because the tables have turned. I spent immeasurable effort to win you over back then and took everything you gave me for so many years. Now that my position is finally elevated after having a son, and I’ve got your mother backing me up, I naturally have to take it back out on you! Oh yes, do you still remember the three promises your parents gave me the night before we registered our marriage, Davin? That’s no different from your slave contract. You’re mine now, so you’ve got to do everything I ask of you. Don’t displease me, or else…”

No sooner had Sheila’s words fallen than a feather duster was timely handed to her.

“Here, Mommy!”

Seeing that, everyone was dumbstruck.

Davin lowered his head and eyed Zayden, who was handing Sheila the feather duster. “Hey, I’m your father, brat! Your biological father! Don’t you feel bad when you see me being beaten up?”

“It doesn’t hurt you when Mommy hits you. Instead, it’ll make Mommy happy. I even heard from Maya yesterday that it’s a trend now for children to indulge their mommies. You’ve got to do the same!”

“Good grief! Do I not pamper her enough? I’ve spoiled her so much that she’s now fearless!”

Just after Davin had finished speaking, he howled as though someone yanked on his tail. “Ow! Can’t you leave me with some dignity when we’re outside, Sheep?”

“Outside? We’re not outside, are we? This is Evan and Nicole’s house, not some public area!”

Davin’s expression darkened at once. “Sheep, let me tell you this solemnly. If you continue treating me in such a manner, I’ll consider… consider changing wives!”

“You want to change wives? You’re really audacious now. Let’s go to the Seet Residence right this instant, and you can speak to Mom about this!”

“No way! Mom has always sided with you, so I’d certainly get beaten to within an inch of my life if I were to say that to her! I’d only end up wailing and jumping all over the place!”

When the few children heard that, they were all curious about the meaning of “wailing and jumping all over the place.”

Blinking her eyes, Joy couldn’t resist asking Davin about it. “Uncle Davin, what does it mean to wail and jump all over the place?”
