Chapter 110

I knew right away Yvonne must’ve called Sally and spilled everything. And I’d bet anything she was standing outside the door, eavesdropping.

Yvonne knew I always acted all respectful around Sally, so if she got someone like her to come scold me, I’d have no choice but to behave.

“Sally, spoiling a child is as bad as harming them. If she’s already pulling disappearing acts now, what do you think she’ll do when she’s older?

“Run away from home? Get pregnant out of wedlock? Aren’t you even a little worried about that?” I argued, keeping my tone calm but firm.

Sally looked momentarily stunned, as if the thought had just occurred to her. Her voice softened a bit. “Even if you want to discipline her, you still need to be more gentle. After all, she’s a girl.”

“Sally, every time I try to teach her a lesson, she goes running to you to complain about me. How am I supposed to discipline her like this?” I turned to look at her, bitterness in my voice. “Sometimes, I really just feel powerless.”

Sally was stunned, maybe because it was the first time I actually let my exhaustion show.

“Alright, you two should talk this over and come up with a solution. I’ll take Yvonne to school for now.” Sally let out a sigh. “Jared said he wants to hire a full–time nanny for her.

“Leave it to me. I’ll make sure to find someone Yvonne actually likes.”

I just replied, “Thanks for taking care of it, Sally.”
