Chapter 184
In the dining room, a heavy silence hung in the air without anyone saying anything.
Isaac was having his meal calmly and slowly, which looked exactly like Francis. It was as if he could finish his meal elegantly and nobly, no matter what happened, even if disaster occurred,
On the other hand. Ryland, the culprit, had his head lowered as he slightly trembled. He did not dare to look at Samantha or
talk
Samantha held her forehead and stared at Ryland.
She could not return to her senses at the moment.
Samantha could not figure it out and wondered why.
“Is it because I’m too hungry to think so that I couldn’t figure it out? Then, should I fill up my stomach first?” she thought.
Thus, she sighed and picked up the fork before she said, “Forget it. Let’s eat first.
Then, she picked up a piece of grilled pork ribs and bit it fiercely
Ryland observed Samantha’s movement. Even if he had picked up the fork, his hand could not help trembling.
He wanted to cry as he thought, “Daddy, when will you come back? Mommy is so scary.”
Samantha took half an hour to finish the meal.
She did not know what was going on with her. She unconsciously ate a lot of things, causing her stomach to look huge.
She wondered whether it was because she was too hungry or angry, or because of Ryland.
After the meal, Ryland was ready for his punishment. He sat still on the couch with a stiffened posture.
However, a few minutes had passed, and Samantha had yet to scold him.
In the next moment, she stood up abruptly and touched her belly. “I’m too full. I’ll go for a walk to aid in my digestion. Do you guys want to join me?”
“Yes, Mommy.” Isaac was the first to follow Samantha.
Ryland thought, I have no choice but to follow since Mommy and Isaac have left.”
Ryland followed up silently with a bitter face.
On the way, Samantha became clear–headed because of the cool breeze and her filled–up stomach.
After about ten minutes, she suddenly halted her footsteps.
She turned around and looked at Ryland.
Ryland froze and did not dare to raise his head.
Samantha remained silent as she thought, “Am I that scary?”
Samantha frowned and turned to look at Isaac
“Isaac, tell me what happened.”

Chapter 184
Isaac pursed his lips and looked at Ryland helplessly before he said slowly. “Mommy, here’s the thing. Our physical education class‘ period this semester and the third grade is the same. Two weeks ago, Ryland accidentally hit Liliana Xanthos, who’s in the third grade, when he was playing basketball. She then beat him up. Ryland had mentioned he’d never hit girls, but Liliana humiliated him and asked him to fight after school. She was not afraid of him. After school, they met. and fought again outside the school with a draw.”
Isaac looked at Ryland and seemed to be hesitant to continue the story.
Isane added, “Later on, they seemed to be addicted to fighting, and they would ask each other out to fight from time to time. I think Ryland wants to study in the third grade to fight Liliana.
Samantha was stunned after hearing Isaac’s words.
She exclaimed inwardly. “What? It’s not about puppy love, but because he wants to fight?”
“Mommy!” Ryland looked up and continued fiercely, “I must win the fight against her! When I beat her one day, I’ll skip grades.
“Stop the nonsense!” Samantha smacked at Ryland’s forehead, which made him dizzy.
“How did I teach you normally? As a boy, how can you hit girls?” said Samantha.
Ryland pouted, unconvinced, and retorted, “However, Mommy, didn’t you teach me to pay them back twice what I’ve received if someone messed with me? She’s the one who hit me first.”
“Isn’t that you hit her with your basketball first?*
“That was not my intention!” Ryland felt a little anxious and aggrieved.
He continued, “Besides, after I hit her accidentally. I hurried over to apologize. But instead, she just came up and beat me up, disregarding everything. Mommy, I sleep early in my room these days without daring to wait for you home. You didn’t even see my eyes. She had beaten my eyes to become swollen. I respected her as a girl and didn’t fight back when she beat me in the field. I didn’t report to the teacher either. However, I would only tolerate her this time. Next time, I’ll fight with her and win against her
Samantha was at a loss for words.
She wondered, “Why is the storyline happening in such a way?
For a moment, Samantha was rendered speechless.
Samantha thought, “That’s right, he’s being logical. When he was beaten at the beginning, he was being obedient and didn’t hit girls. However, after being beaten once, he indeed followed my principles and began to fight with Liliana. They would clear their grudges if Ryland defeated her, but every fight was a draw. This…”
Samantha held her forehead and felt a headache.
She tightened her clothes and asked as she walked back, “How old is that girl?”
Ryland answered, “Five years and two months old.”
“What?” Samantha was shocked.
She wondered curiously, “What is going on in this world? Are all children nowadays so presumptuous?”
Ryland casually glanced at Samantha and confirmed, ‘Mommy. In not mistaken. She’s five years and two months old.” How do you know that?”

Chapter 184
“So that I can win against her if I know her well. Ryland smiled and continued, I’ve been clear about her situation, including where she lives how many family members she has, her constellation, her favorite food, and her favorite color…
Samantha looked at Ryland, talking non–stop, but she could not concentrate on his words at all.
She only felt that the world was too magical.
She thought. “There’s no way I’m undergoing a second pregnancy! Being a substitute mom is already a big enough headache. I’ll never want to have a baby again.”
When they returned home, Francis also came back.
Samantha was stunned when she saw Francis. Then, she directly passed him the buck and said, “Francis, I’ll leave your son’s issue to you. I have no idea what to do about it.”
Francis frowned and sat on the couch.
He asked Isaac to tell him what was going on.
The patient Isaac told the whole story again.
Unlike Sanrantha’s headache and shock, Francis was calm, as if it was normal for his son to be weird and unique.
After a while, he said, “It’s pretty good.
L
Samantha asked, “What’s so good about it?”
Francis continued, “But Ryland, fighting is not the only way if you want to beat her and get your revenge.”
Ryland blinked and asked, “What else can I do?”
Francis replied. “You can compete against her by grades, who can finish their work faster or write faster, as well as compete with your piano skills…”
That’s right. Ryland nodded.
“But… I still want to beat her by fighting.”
Francis rubbed Ryland’s head with a smile.
“Silly you, it’s hard to determine who will win the fight in just a few days. If you guys fight every day, you will only get injured for yourself without gaining any benefits at all. You can compete with her by grades first, then practice combat skills secretly. After you’re skilled, you can ask her out again for a fight during a winter break or summer break. In this way, you will secretly become excellent in grades, talents, and even fights. You’ll crush her in all aspects.”
That’s right!” Ryland jumped up excitedly and continued, “Daddy, you’re right! I’ll tell her the new competition rules right
now.
Then, Ryland ran upstairs.
Samantha was stunned.
