Chapter 708: The Man Who Instigated Benjamin Leclair to Fight Was Punished with Sleeping on the Floor That Night
Benjamin had never seen his pretty mommy lose her temper before. His little back immediately straightened like a wooden plank, his big, dark eyes brimming with tears as he weakly said, "Daddy told me to fight."
Delphine felt like she was so angry that her heart, lungs, and stomach were hurting. She glared furiously at the man sitting elegantly on the sofa like an aloof emperor.
This adorable little girl was going to be ruined under Ignatius Leclair’s upbringing. She’d grow up to have a domineering personality. Was she destined to become a bossy female CEO?
The handsome man, who had just been sold out by his daughter without a shred of mercy, softly cleared his throat and smiled faintly. "Seems like you knocked out one of your classmate’s teeth, hmm?"
On the way back, Benjamin had been bragging gleefully about his battle achievements. Not only had his little fists knocked out one of the boy’s teeth, but she had also beaten up every boy who’d previously tugged at her pigtails.
"The front tooth was knocked out when he stumbled into the door himself." Benjamin instinctively covered his little bottom with her small hands and weakly explained, her big, dark eyes filled with tears, looking pitifully at Delphine.
Delphine looked at the sweet, soft, and adorable little girl standing there straight as a pole, on the verge of tears. Her heart hurt, mixed with frustration. This child was someone she had brought into this world after ten painstaking months of pregnancy, only for Ignatius to turn her into this.
"Benjamin." Delphine reached out towards her daughter, picking her up into her arms. Gently, she asked, "Tell Mommy, why did you fight with your classmate?"
"They pulled Benjamin’s pigtails." Nicholas Carter ran over and stood firmly by his sister’s side. While he didn’t agree with Benjamin’s approach of fighting violence with violence, being bullied and fighting back wasn’t wrong in his book.
Benjamin immediately nodded like a chicken pecking grains of rice. The overbearing attitude she had moments earlier was nowhere to be found. She pitifully said, "Mommy, they bullied Benjamin."
Delphine’s anger boiled to the surface. She kissed little Benjamin and said, "Darling, Mommy will send you to school tomorrow. No one is allowed to bully my little treasure. But fighting and bullying classmates is also wrong, okay? Don’t copy your daddy, alright?"
The unfairly labeled bad influence, Ignatius Leclair, squinted slightly, his mind recalling that he rarely fought. The one time he had was with Griffith Squire, and that had been for her.
So, later that evening, not only was Benjamin spared from a scolding, but she even received a lollipop to soothe her little soul, wounded from being bullied. As for the instigator, the South Seas Crown Prince Ignatius Leclair, he was sentenced to sleeping on the floor.
The next morning, the frustrated man got up, his handsome face as dark as thunderclouds. His grievances were now directed at Ambrose Walker’s parents and Teacher Fang, both of whom he was thoroughly disgruntled with.
Humph, bullying his little treasure, tattling, and making him sleep on the floor—real impressive!
After breakfast, Delphine personally took Benjamin and Nicholas to school.
It was Benjamin’s first time going to school with both her daddy and mommy escorting her. She was overjoyed, practically giddy. On top of that, she had already established her reputation in class yesterday. From now on, Sunflower Kindergarten was her domain. Her mood couldn’t have been better.
Delphine took the two children into the teacher’s office and knocked on the door.
Teacher Fang, who taught the kindergarten’s senior class, had never before met student parents as outstandingly stylish and exquisitely beautiful as these. She froze for a moment upon seeing Delphine and then, noticing the handsome, distinguished man trailing behind, her eyes practically glazed over.
"Are you Benjamin’s parents? Please have a seat." Teacher Fang, captivated by their beauty, quickly stood up with a nervous smile and said, "Ambrose Walker’s parents will be here soon. Let’s have a good talk, and this matter shouldn’t get too serious."
Delphine smiled as she chatted with the teacher. Meanwhile, the handsome and dignified man sat in the teacher’s office, half-squinting his phoenix-like eyes as he checked his watch. He was simply waiting for the complainers to come and confront Benjamin’s parents—that is, himself and, well, his troubles. Yep, just like that.
