"Lily, open the door, it's time to eat."

After Mary took Manou back to the bedroom, Mark waited until the meal was ready before coming to call people.

"I won't eat. I'm already pissed off by you!"

After knocking a few more times, there was a response from the bedroom. It was Mary's angry voice. Such a short period of time was not enough for her to calm down.

"Lily, man is like iron and food is like steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. If you don't eat, aren't you punishing yourself? Don't take anything against your body.

How can you be angry with others and then punish yourself? Dad believes in you. You are not the kind of fool who punishes yourself with the mistakes of others. Open the door. Today's dishes are all your favorites. "

Although Mary just doesn't want to eat and won't starve even if she has all kinds of snacks, Mark now wants to express an attitude.

"I won't eat it. I'm very angry now. Even if you cook dragon liver and phoenix marrow, I still can't eat it."

"It's okay if you don't want to eat. Then open the door and let me in to see what you are doing."

When she's angry, Mary is quite childish.

"What's so good about this? Don't come in."

"Open the door, I'll take a look and come out. Even if you don't eat, Manou has to eat too, right?"

"Why did we let you in? To let you continue to lie to us?"

Mark has a trust crisis with Mary, although it's only a little, but it's better not to exist.

"Manou, help dad open the door. The meal is ready. It's all your favorite. There are fried chicken legs. They are not tasty when they are cold right out of the pan. They are too fragrant. If you don't want to eat them, I will eat them myself. There are also shrimps..."

"Dad, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Under Mark's temptation and Mary's indulgence, Agate opened the door of the room and walked out.

"Lily, let me in."

Mark just wanted to get in, but the door was only half opened and Mark couldn't get in at all.

The size difference between Manou and Mark is still too big.

"Please let me be quiet for a while. Isn't it tragic enough that I was betrayed by the person I trusted the most?"

If you count it this way, Mary is a little pitiful.

"Okay, if you want to be quiet, then be quiet. I'll save your meal and you can come out and eat if you're hungry." Mark replied finally.

"Manou, it looks like you'll have to sleep with me today."

Mark took Manou to dinner and then watched two episodes of cartoons together in the living room.

Mary still didn't come out of the room, so Mark knew that this girl was determined to have a cold war with Mark.

"I want to play with my sister."

Manou said unhappily.

Even though Mark has a young mentality, he is not childish.

He couldn't play some childish games with Manou, so Manou didn't really like to be with Mark during entertainment time.

Unless Mark takes Manou out, Mark's position in Manou's heart will be higher if they go out.

"It's so late, why are you still playing? Your sister is in a bad mood and doesn't want to play, so you don't have to play either, just go wash up and go to bed."

"I want to hear a story."

It took Mark some effort to clean the agate and bring it back to the room.

I finally lay down, but this is not the end.

"How old are you? Why do you still need to listen to stories before bed?"

Mark was sure that after Manou started living in the same room with Mary, he had stopped asking his parents to tell him stories before going to bed.

"I want to hear it. My mother told me about it every day when I lived with her."

After confirming that agate was with the field, he developed the habit again.

Occasionally, when he goes home to stay for a day or two, Mary will be responsible and has always been very nice to Mark. If it weren't for today, Mark wouldn't even know about it.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you a tablet."

For a moment, Mark couldn't think of what story to tell the child.

These are not the ignorant children of previous generations who have never heard or seen anything and can be fed up with any fairy tale.

In this age of information explosion, children's entertainment needs are also high.

Finally, he remembered that there was ready-made story software, so Mark didn't have to do it himself.

“Is it okay to listen to this?”

With the software, things become much simpler. Just choose what you want to listen to.

If you don’t recognize many words, you can just choose a cover you like.

"can."

"Then listen to it, and then go to sleep."

"Okay, I'll be good." Manou nodded.

"Okay, just be obedient and don't wet the bed today, okay?"

Manou is actually no longer at the age where he often wets the bed, but there is still the possibility of accidents.

Drinking too much water or playing too excitedly at night may lead to accidents.

Today, Manou was taken out by Wang Xiaomi, and was soon brought back by Ma Li. It was certain that they didn't play much.

But Manou drinks a lot of beverages and water at night, so there is a possibility of accidents.

"Okay!" Manou replied confidently.

"Manou, wake up."

When Mark woke up the next day, he saw a large wet spot on the bed sheet.

Fortunately, Mark and Manou are not in the same bed, otherwise Mark really doesn’t want to imagine what would happen.

"Dad, is it time to go to school?"

It took several shakes to wake the person up, but Manou's eyes were still sleepy and he managed to open them a little.

I don't have any bad temper when I wake up, I just don't want to wake up.

"It's not that urgent to go to school, but how can you sleep after you wet the bed like this? Get up and let me change your clothes, and then you can go back to sleep."

Because Manou wet the bed, Mark's morning exercise had to be cancelled.

I got up at around five o'clock and started to help Manou clean up the mess. All the bedding had to be washed.

Getting up at five in the morning to wash the sheets was also an experience Mark had never had before.

"Manou, take a look for yourself, is this what you promised me yesterday?"

After Manou fell asleep again and woke up, Mark had finished his work.

But the matter cannot be let go, Mark said to Manou, pointing at the bedding drying on the balcony.

"Dad, I didn't mean to do that. I was half asleep and I remembered going to the bathroom but I didn't expect it was a dream."

Manou explained to Mark innocently.

"When was the last time you wet the bed?"

"No, I haven't wet the bed in a long time."

Manou is not a good liar, so this statement has a certain degree of credibility.

It shouldn't be that Manju deliberately covered it up out of shame.

"It's been a long time, how come I caught up with you? Did you deliberately trick your dad and me?"

Mark had some real suspicion that Manou was trying to help Mary vent her anger.

"What are you doing? Why are you scolding the child so early in the morning?"

After a good night's sleep, Mary was still not angry, and her attitude towards Mark was obviously not as enthusiastic as before.

"You asked him?"

"Manou, what's going on?"

Ma Li pulled Manou aside and asked.

After the two of them finished their whispered questions, only Mary came back:
"You didn't remind Manou to go to the toilet before going to bed. Why are you blaming Manou now? Isn't it the parent's fault that something like this happened?" "..." Mark: "Yes, you are right."

Mary is angry now. Women of all sizes are the same. It is not easy to mess with them at this time. So Mark did not refute.

It's okay to argue with other people, but there's no need to argue with your own daughter.

If Manou had followed Mali back to her room to sleep, this sort of thing would probably not have happened.

"Don't talk about him anymore. Manou is already grown up and has his own self-esteem. He will be sad if you keep talking about him."

"Yes, you only think Manju is sad, don't you think about whether I am sad or not?"

Mark didn't forget himself and reminded Mary from the side.

"Can you promise not to talk about him? If not, I will take Manou to kindergarten myself."

Mary ignored Mark's words and continued speaking according to her own thoughts.

"I'll go and take it off. Don't worry. We are father and son. How can I be really angry with Manou?"

"I am leaving."

Ma Li rode away first on her bike, and there was no difference from yesterday.

But this is the result of Manou living at home. Mark knows that even if Manou is not at home now, Mary will definitely leave first.

"Uncle, Lily is very angry with me now. What should I do?"

At noon, Mark met Wang Xiaomi in the restaurant again.

Han Jinlong was in a frustrated state and had no intention of running the pet shop well, which gave Wang Xiaomi a lot of freedom.

"She's not just mad at you, she's mad at me, too."

It was reasonable for Ma Li to be angry at Wang Xiaomi, and she was somewhat furious at Mark.

Mark thought about the whole process yesterday and felt that Mary’s anger was definitely not just because of the deception itself.

The relationship between Mark and Wang Xiaomi can be said to be the most important aspect.

Mark is looking for a new wife, and Mary will feel that her position is unstable and there is a possibility that she will be abandoned.

Before they even started, the two of them had teamed up to deceive Mary, and it was hard to say what would happen in the future.

"Are you two okay?" Wang Xiaomi asked worriedly.

"It's not very good. Lily is ignoring me now."

"Can you handle this?"

"It can be handled well. How can a father and daughter really be angry all the time?"

After Mary calmed down, Mark explained to her that the position of his own daughter in his heart would never change.

Mary will definitely be able to get through this.

"What about my relationship with Lily? Should I wait for Lily after get off work?"

"She's angry right now. Wait until I make peace with her, and then I'll help you explain to her."

The main thing is that Mark has to resolve Mary’s knot first, so Wang Xiaomi’s side will be relatively simple.

Mary cares about the two people to different degrees, and her anger levels are also different.

The more you care about someone, the angrier they will be. This is true for everyone.

"So, is it difficult for us to date these days?"

Wang Xiaomi was obviously referring to the time after get off work.

"Wait a moment, Tian Ye will be back in two days. After she takes Manou away, I will play with you."

Mark said apologetically.

It’s only because Wang Xiaomi is not the type of person who must put herself first, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with her.

"Tian Ye, you are finally back."

To be honest, Mark has felt a little awkward taking care of Manou these days, especially after Mary got angry and stopped helping.

Mark was troubled by agate. It’s not that Mark couldn’t carry agate, but it definitely consumed energy and time.

Manou has to live at home, so Mark's time after get off work belongs to Manou, making it difficult for him to make any arrangements of his own.

"Are you so impatient to return the child to me?" Tian Ye asked with obvious dissatisfaction.

Since he didn't want Mark to fight for the custody of Manou, he took his son back.

I don’t want Mark to not fight for it and not care about this son.

After the divorce, Tian Ye has always been in this conflicted style.

"How is that possible? I really want to keep the child here forever."

Mark said this with all his heart.

If Mary wanted to get the agate back, she could immediately reconcile with Mark.

The problem of taking care of the child is not big, just hire a nanny.

It's not like he's staying for a few days temporarily, so Mark has to do everything by himself.

"Impossible, you can't take care of Manou. I don't feel comfortable letting you take care of me all the time, and I don't want my son to live with a stepmother."

Tian Ye reacted quite sensitively to this question.

"Follow me, live with Lily, how come you are following your stepmother?"

"You know best whether there will be a solution or not. There's no room for discussion." There was obviously some resentment in Tian Ye's eyes.

Since Tian Ye wanted to do this, Mark didn't dare to continue the conversation. Mark always avoided talking about Wang Xiaomi in front of Tian Ye:

“Is your store going to open soon?”

Entrepreneurship is the topic that Tian Ye is most interested in during this period.

"It's already been renovated. Fang Yuan has been keeping an eye on it for a while."

"Where is the store? When it opens, remember to let me know so I can come and support you."

As he spoke, Mark realized that, logically speaking, Tian Ye's store should not be able to open.

Tian Ye and Fang Yuan are both newcomers in the industry and have no successful experience.

It is basically impossible to ask people to invest without any real talk.

If someone invests, they must have ulterior motives.

"Not far, just near the shopping mall we used to go to."

"It's a prime location. Isn't this a big investment?"

“It’s a decent size.”

Tian Ye is not a person who brags. If he says it is okay, it can basically be said that the store is at least a medium to large scale.

"Well, you finally have a chance to display your abilities."

"Mark, why did you call me out?"

"Fang Yuan, we have known each other for so many years. Can't I just have a cup of coffee and chat with you?"

After learning from Tian Ye that the beauty salon had entered the stage of actual renovation, Mark asked Tian Ye's partner Fang Yuan to come out.

"You are already Tian Ye's ex-husband, what else do we have to talk about? You still want me to hide it from Tian Ye, Mark, let me tell you, even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, don't even think about paying attention to me."

Fang Yuan made a protective gesture and said.

As a single person, Fang Yuan has no problem with self-confidence, and he has always felt good about himself.

Single women of this age are actually quite attractive. Not only do they keep themselves clean, but if they don't, people will feel that they are being taken advantage of.

It may not be easy to find a decent partner, but there may be more people with ulterior motives around Fang Yuan than around the little girl.

"Can you please sit down? What can I pay attention to you? What do you have that I can pay attention to?"

Mark said with a dark face.

Fang Yuan is far inferior to Tian Ye in every aspect, and there is no way Mark would be interested in a woman like this.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me now. I'm quite busy right now. It's because we've known each other for such a long time that I took time out of my busy schedule to see you." (End of this chapter)
