“Mommy, I want my mommy!”
Elmore grabbed his son and gave him a firm butt smack.
“Your mom spoils you.
Why the tears?”
He was ruthless, taking out his anger on the kid.
The little boy’s eyes filled with tears, and Lyndon, ice-cold, said, “Mr.
Bates, your son’s messed up because you didn’t teach him right.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
Reflect on yourself beforeying a hand on him.
”
Elmore stopped and smiled.
“My bad.
Just a kid’s spat.
I shouldn’t have pampered him.
And I was overprotective.
How about this? Take your kid to the hospital.
I’ll foot the bill, no matter how much.
And throw in whateverpensation you want.
”
Elmore was trying to buy his way out.
Lyndon scoffed, “Money isn’t my issue.
”
“What do you want from me?” Elmore inquired, his voice tinged with embarrassment.
Lyndon replied coldly, “How about we settle this with a taste of your own medicine? Your son has left mine with a swollen face, so I suggest you p yourself fifty times as a form of apology.
”
Let him p himself? Fifty times no less! That would leave his face puffed up like a balloon.
Seeing the unyielding look in Lyndon’s eyes, Elmore clenched his teeth and said with a strained smile, “Alright, I’m at fault here.
I’ll take the punishment.
”
And with that, he started hitting himself.
Lyndon watched with a mocking smile.
“Put some effort into it.
What is this, a gentle pat?”
Elmore was at a loss for words.
He realized that unless he appeased Lyndon now, there would be no end to this.
Resigned, he started to p himself harder.
Lyndon drew Sheldon closer, settling him on his shoulder, and ced headphones over his ears.
“Listen to the music.
”
As the boy nestled against him, absorbing the soothing tunes and gazing into Lyndon’s tender eyes, a sense of being cherished washed over him, lighting up his face.
After the fiftieth p, Elmore’s mouth was bleeding, his cheeks puffed and bruised.
He put on a bitter smile and asked, “Is that enough?”
