Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1662

The little boy's anger had finally subsided.

"Alright, buddy," her uncle ruffled his son's hair, his tone softening. "You head on out. Daddy's got a couple more words for this little brat."

"Dad, I've got something to say to her too," Tommy piped up, defiance in his voice.

"Go ahead, son."

Tommy walked up and crouched beside Skyler. Perhaps finding her smelly, he covered his nose with his hand and said, "Push me again in the future? I’ll pee on you again."

Skyler, her chin jutting out stubbornly, retorted, "You broke my pencil case first. And you tripped yourself."d2

"Dad, she's not admitting she's wrong," Tommy complained, turning to his dad.

The man stepped forward and kicked Skyler hard in the back. "Listen here, brat, my boy could do more than break your pencil case. He could bury you in a hole, and your parents wouldn't dare squeak about it."

The force of the kick curled Skyler into a ball, pain wracking her small frame. Yet, she remained defiant. "I'm not wrong. It was him..."

At that moment, she still hoped. Hoped that if she could just explain, her parents would stand up for her and protect her.

"Seems like you need to learn your lesson," the man sneered, giving her another kick before scooping up his son and leaving. "We'll have your parents teach you some manners."

After they left, Skyler's parents arrived shortly. Grimacing through the pain, she tried to tell them everything that had happened. But before she could finish, her mother cut her off. "If only you were a boy, how much easier things would be."

"Mama, he broke my stuff, and he fell on purpose." Skyler pleaded for understanding.
