Chapter 829 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband
- Skyler: “So what are you asking?” Zavier: “Didn’t the Blue family teach you to fight back when bullied? Haven’t they told you that if you’re kind, you’ll be taken advantage of?” Skyler bit her lip, her blue eyes welling with unshed tears, as she shook her head, “No, they didn’t.” All her life, she’d been taught to bite her tongue and take it on the chin. If she ever fought back, she was met with solitary confinement in the attic and the strap. Skyler vividly remembered a time when she was little, and her uncle’s kid, Tommy, had broken her favorite pencil case.
- She was so mad that she pushed him. She wasn’t strong enough to even make Tommy, who was older, flinch, but he dramatically plopped himself on the ground and started wailing, “She hit me!” Tommy’s cries quickly drew the attention of the adults. His mother swept him up in her arms, “Oh my baby, who hurt you?”e2 Triumphantly, he pointed at Skyler, “Her!” Upon hearing this, Tommy’s father gave Skyler a kick so fierce it sent her flying, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” She was too small to withstand the blow and crashed to the ground hard.
- She tried to get up but couldn’t move, looking up at her parents with difficulty, “Dad, Mom, he broke my pencil case.” Her uncle was livid, “So you hit him because he broke your damn pencil case? Bernard, is this what you teach? Can’t have a son of your own, so you set your sights on mine?” With that accusation, the matter blew up. Knowing he couldn’t compete with his brother’s side of the family, Skyler’s father hoisted her up, “I’ll take her home and straighten her out.” But her uncle was relentless, “Is that all? Should we settle this ourselves, or should we take it to Father to decide?”
