Harming Others Without Benefiting Oneself

945 Words
Aria, who was hiding behind Dominic, immediately emerged from her husband’s protection when she saw Dennis return. “Let me take a look.” Aria reached out her hand to check her hair. Dennis slapped Aria’s hand away. “I asked my uncle to check. I didn’t ask you to check it.” “I’m your uncle’s wife. Me checking it is the same as him checking it.” Aria rubbed the back of her hand. Then, she showed the back of her hand to Dominic and complained in a cute voice, “Hubby, look, it’s red.” Dominic grabbed his wife’s soft hand and looked at it carefully. Then, he said to Dennis with a cold gaze, “Apologize.” Dennis held onto the last bit of stubbornness he had left. “I won’t. She deserves it. I’m asking you to check my hair.” “Yes, she deserves it,” Old Master Cross added angrily. Men, women, and young people all cared about their appearances. A taboo subject for women was their wrinkles; for men, it was their balding. Although Old Master Cross was no longer young and had lost a certain amount of hair, he refused to be called bald! Aria pursed her lips. She continued to hide behind Dominic silently. Right now, it was more prudent to rely on her husband. The most important thing now was to leave the Cross family’s home as soon as possible. “dominic, there’s nothing wrong with Dennis’s hair. Let’s go!” Dominic listened carefully to the way his little wife was addressing him. Now, he had a name again. It seemed that when he was being useful to her, she called him “Husband” and when he was not, he was “dominic”. He was displeased. “Dad is right. It’s not suitable to move out at night.” With that one sentence, Aria knew that she was destined to stay with the cross family for another night. At that moment, she felt as if her sky had collapsed. The farce temporarily ended, and everyone returned to their own rooms. Aria sat on the sofa and grumbled to herself, “I was about to leave this place, but I offended someone just because I said something stupid. Now, I’ve harmed others but not benefited myself. I can’t leave anymore.” What Aria did not know was that the reason she was not allowed to leave was not her comment about Old Master Cross, but the way she was speaking to Dominic. “dominic Cross, can we leave tomorrow morning? School is about to start, and I won’t have time to move out.” “We’ll see! We’ll see how I feel tomorrow.” After saying that, Dominic went to take a shower. ...... In the bedroom not far away, Dennis squeezed into his parents’ master bedroom and sneakily moved to his mother’s side. “Mom, tell me quickly what happened between you and Aria.” Sarah told her son everything he knew. She told Dennis everything that had happened during this period of time. After finding out the truth, Dennis sighed. “A female tiger can’t win against a scheming b*tch!” He then said to his mother, “Mom, trust me on this matter. Mary John is lying to you. I don’t dare to say anything else, but I can guarantee you that I know Aria’s character. She definitely won’t steal your title as the Cross family’s mistress. She is extremely lazy. If she’s given the option to lie down, she definitely won’t sit instead. And, if she can sit, she definitely won’t stand. She even wanted someone to feed her during meals. She definitely won’t snatch this title that has already made someone so tired that they’ve become a fool.” “Son, what did you say?” According to her son’s words, she was the person who was so tired that she became a fool. “Last night, I just realized that I fell into mary John’s trap.” She sighed. “Things have already developed to this point. They are also moving out. Let’s leave it at that!” It was said that this curiosity was passed down from generation to generation. Dennis was curious about how his mother could fight with a feisty tigress over the dinner table, while his mother was curious about how her son knew Aria. Sarah asked Dennis, “dennis, how do you know Aria? You guys have been deskmates for so many years. Yet, why have you never brought her up?” Dennis thought back to the years he had been “humiliated” and considered Aria’s underling. He was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he lied to his mother. “Mom, I defeated Aria. She could not measure up to me in school.” Sarah knew her son’s character and believed his lie. “How could you hit a girl? Have you forgotten all the gentlemanly manners I taught you?” Hearing Sarah’s words, Dennis felt a little guilty. “Mom, I know. I won’t bully her in the future. It’s getting late. Mom, go to bed early. I’ll go apologize to her.” Because he knew about Aria’s skills, Dennis knew that she had already shown mercy to his mother. His own mother had misunderstood her so many times. Now, he wanted to apologize to her on behalf of his mother. “It’s so late, don’t go. Your uncle will be unhappy if you go to your aunt now.” Sarah did not stop Dennis from speaking to her, but asked him to go another time.
