The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy Chapter 1267 - A Mother’s Dilemma

Chapter 1267: A Mother’s Dilemma

Xixi was bawling loudly on the bed, but Ye Yuwei did not give in to her request and just watched her quietly. She was determined to correct her daughter’s att.i.tude, even if she had to skip work today to do it.

Ye Xicheng was pacing outside the door with his fists clenched tightly. Although he believed his mother would not hit his little sister, he still felt sorry listening to her wailing.

Gu Juexi did not have his breakfast and went straight to the room. He tried to open the door when he heard his daughter’s loud crying but it wouldn’t budge.

“Wifey!”

Xixi heard her dad’s voice outside and started crying even louder and attempted to crawl to the door. Whenever she moved towards the door, Ye Yuwei picked the little girl up and put her back on the same spot on her bed.

Ye Yuwei did not hit nor scold the little girl but just stared at her as she wailed.

“You keep quiet! Sister will cry even louder if she hears your voice,” Ye Xicheng angrily scolded his father while stamping his foot. He pushed Gu Juexi away from the room using his little hands.

Gu Juexi looked at his frustrated son. ‘Is he putting the blame on me now?’

Xixi finally stopped bawling after nearly an hour. She was worn out but still sobbing a little while lying on her bed.

Ye Yuwei realized her daughter had calmed down so she asked her, “Do you still want to continue crying?”

Xixi’s nose was red due to her excessive crying. She pursed her lips and hugged her doll.

Ye Yuwei reached out and hugged her daughter. Xixi immediately clutched her mother’s neck for rea.s.surance.

Ye Yuwei carried her into the washroom, took a towel and washed her face.

Outside, the father and son who were sitting on the floor with the same posture realized the crying had ceased.

They looked at each other with sighs of relief.

“I… I don’t want to. I don’t want Brother to go to school,” Xixi sobbed quietly.

“Is it because there are many kids playing with your brother so you don’t want him to go to school?” asked Ye Yuwei softly after wiping her little face clean.

Xixi hugged her mother tightly. Her body was still shaking from the sobbing. She looked so weary.

“Brother… Brother belongs to Xixi.”

Ye Yuwei carried her daughter out and put her on the bed. She then sat next to her and held her little hand. “Do you think Daddy won’t allow your brother to go to school if you make a fuss?”

Xixi sobbed and tried to climb onto Ye Yuwei’s lap. She suddenly felt insecure.

Ye Yuwei put her daughter on her lap and continued, “Your brother loves you very much but you cannot demand that he focus on you only, you know? If your brother can make friends with others, so can you! He loves you after all, so you shouldn’t take advantage of your daddy’s love and make him force your brother to do things according to your wishes. Do you understand?”

Xixi stayed in Ye Yuwei’s embrace, hiccuping. She did not respond.

Ye Yuwei kissed her daughter’s head. Of course, as a mother, she felt heartache when her daughter was exhausted from crying. However, if she didn’t take this chance to tell her that she couldn’t always get her way with crying, then things would only get worse in the future.

Ye Yuwei was not an innocent teenage girl anymore. She was not the young woman who had just gotten married. Now, she not only needed to live for Gu Juexi, she had to survive for her two children for the sake of their future.

Apart from her role as a wife, she was a mother too.

Xixi stopped sobbing after a while and finally managed to raise her head to look at her mother. After a while, she said, “Mommy, I… I want to go to school with Brother.”

Ye Yuwei carried her daughter and stood up. She kissed her little head again and said tenderly, “That is my good sweetheart.”

She carried her little girl to the door. When Ye Yuwei opened the door, she saw both father and son looking at her like she was about to eat Xixi.
