Chapter 795 Heather Is Very Bad:E12
- Things had changed, as their daughter had. Janice seemed much more distant. Their bedroom antics which were always pretty adventurous, or so it seemed compared to most of their friends, had become much more plain-vanilla. Now, in retrospect, he realized how much he missed the ways things were, and how good he'd had it.
- Now she was always irritated with him, blaming him for the way that Heather was turning out. He'd given up on the hellion years ago, letting Janice spoil her rotten, and guaranteeing that no matter what the brat did, there'd be no consequences. When she'd brought home her first F's at 15 years old, after 9 years of A's and B's, Janice just wanted to console her and took her out for a spa day. When she'd started lying to them all the time, Janice covered for her. When she'd wrecked her car, Janice had tried to get it secretly fixed so he wouldn't even know. He'd argued. He'd yelled. He'd threatened. He'd even pleaded, but in the end he couldn't make any changes in their daughter, with Janice sabotaging every effort. It had broken his heart, and he'd found himself bitterly angry with his wife, who was so good in so many other ways.
- She was off in Manhattan, doing who knows what with whom. He didn't trust her boss a whit, and in her latest mood, he wasn't sure how far he trusted Janice. Now he was stuck with the monster child, a completely out of control brat. At least for once, he could show her that behavior had consequences, without Janice interfering.
