Seeing his mother actually focused on feeding him, Levi Brown did not forget to tease her, "Mom, did you poison this secretly?"
Mia Kyle glared at him and was about to snatch the cake back, "Brat, if you don't want to eat it, give it back to me."
Levi swallowed it in one go and said, "Even if there's poison, I'll still eat it."
Mia glared at the little kid again, "Brat, you're itching for a beating, aren't you?"
Neil Brown echoed, "Brat, apologize to your mother, or else I won't be able to help you too."
Levi pouted and said, "Dad, it's not like you've ever helped me before."
Neil just looked at him silently.
How could this little one say that? Neil was the head of the family!
He was always being dominated by his wife and son. Even if that was the case, he would appreciate if they considered his feelings for just a bit.
Mia smiled proudly and said, "Your father is my man. Even if he wants to help someone, he can only help me. How can he help a little brat like you?"
Levi looked a little angry, "Do I mean nothing to you two?"
Mia nodded.
The wife nodded. Neil received a threatening stare from her, so he had to nod too.
In their family, he felt that his status was really declining day by day. Maybe someday, he would be replaced by someone else.
Looking at the noisy family of three, and thinking of her lonely self in a foreign country, Karen Joy was feeling tormented.
She bit her lip and wished she could go back to her room and continue to sleep with her head covered. That way, she didn't have to be reminded about family.
As soon as Karen Joy thought of this, Mia saw her and greeted her happily, "Karen, morning!"
Levi added, "Mom, the sun is already so high up, how is it still morning?"
This teenage girl didn't even get up earlier than the little kid. Sure enough, women of the Kyle family liked to sleep in and bully people.
Mia said, "Shut up, boy!"
Mia then pinched Levi's ear. "Little Levi, I'll ask Little Precious to play with you some other day okay?"
Levi shook his head hard. "No. I don't want to play with puppet."
Julien Kyle was just a boy who was a year older than Levi, but he was such a cold child that he did not bother talking to Levi. He would even put on a stern 'thinking face' all day long. Was he trying to be cool to attract attention from little girls?
Karen Joy smiled and said, "Well, it's a deal. You can play together during the New Year's."
Levi had a bitter look on his face. "I don't want to."
Mia immediately went to the kitchen to get the breakfast that she had specially prepared for Karen Joy. "Brat, you don't have the right to speak here. Karen, come have breakfast. I know you want to sleep in, so I didn't wake you up just now. But these are all specially for you."
Levi muttered, "Wonder who's your actual child."
Perhaps in the eyes of the Kyle family and the Brown family, only Karen Joy mattered the most, and the other children were all secondary.
He had no status in both his families, and the little log of the Kyle family had no status at home too. Only Karen Joy, a little devil who only knew how to bully people, was pampered and spoiled unconditionally.
