Chapter 923

“It’s so unfair! I’ve been so good to you and you hit me with a shoe!” Allen truly fell he’d gotten a raw deal, never reflecting on his past irresponsibility, let alone realizing he almost lost his wife and daughter.

Sonya retorted, “Had I not hit you back then, Abby and I might not be here”

Allen confusedly queried, “What do you mean?”

Sonya replied, “Think about it yourself. But I don’t expect you to understand. It’s been so many years, and I don’t give a hoot anymore”

She said she didn’t care, but could she really not care? Before getting pregnant, Sonya had her own job, but after getting pregnant, Allen wanted her to quit her job and focus on the pregnancy.

He even suggested she shouldn’t go back to work, just stay home and look after the child, he’d bring home the bacon.

They were newlyweds then, very much in love, and Allen adored her, so she believed his words and resigned to stay at home. During the pregnancy, despite being uncomfortable, she was able to eat, sleep and her mental state was fairly good.

Then Abigail was born, and the real hardship began. Abigail was a poor sleeper and cried a lot. During the first month after Abigail’s birth, her grandmother helped look after her, and life was bearable. But when Abigail’s grandmother left, her mom was left to care for her alone. When the baby woke, she woke, when the baby slept, she often couldn’t.

During that time, she was often woken just after falling asleep, barely managing two hours of consecutive sleep in 24 hours, and she was on the verge of a breakdown.

However, her husband couldn’t understand her and didn’t understand how exhausting it was to take care of a child.

Luckily, she identified the problem in time, hired a nanny to help with the child, and went back to work, thus pulling herself back from the brink of despair.

She kept these things to herself, never telling anyone, and yet Allen felt it was unfair. He knew nothing, so what right did he have to feel it was unfair?

Allen was unconscious. Like Roy, he slumped over the table, falling asleep.

Sonya pinched him in the waist, “You heartless man! You stir up my emotions and then you fall asleep.”

Tanisha interjected, “Men are all the same!”

Zack retorted, “Mom, your son is a man.”

Tanisha replied, “You’re a young lad, not quite a man yet.”

Zack responded, “You said my classmates already have a few kids. If I got married early, I could be a father too.”

Tanisha retorted, “Well, go get married then,”

Zack fell silent.

Tanisha continued, “Help him over to your dad’s side. Seeing him reminds me of your dad, it’s annoying“”

Zack asked as he moved Allen, “Do they usually drink together?”

Tanisha replied, “Their alcohol tolerance is so low, so they can only drink together. If they drank with others, they’d be frowned upon by others.”

After moving Allen, Zack took the seat Allen had just taken, which was next to Marcus, “Mr. Artis, sorry for the trouble.”

Marcus replied, “You guys are quite a hoot!”
