The two children kicked, bit, hit, and attacked Ryan in various ways. Ryan truly did not know whether to laugh or cry. Isadora, who was originally going to attack Ryan, was suddenly amused by that scene. She kept fanning the flames at the side. " Kids, beat him up hard! He's the one who made your mom sad!"
The pair of twins then hit Ryan even harder. Ryan was left in a wretched state after being beaten up by the two children, but he also could not bear to smack his own children. After all, they were only three years old. Ryan then looked at Sabrina in embarrassment. "Aunt Sabrina, I ...Aunt Sabrina, I have never treated Ruth badly. Please help me persuade her and let her stop the children from beating me up. I n the future, the children will be spoiled..."
Before Sabrina said anything, Ruth, who was still holding the kitchen knife, said," Ryan Poole! I swear on my character that I've never urged my children to beat you u p! Whenever you're not at home, I’ve always been telling them that their father i s a good father, and their father loves them very much! I have never encouraged them t o do such things!"
"I know. I know that, Ruth. I know," Ryan said repeatedly.
Ruth suddenly feared up. "Since you know that, that means the children did not beat you up because I told them to. The fact that they beat you up can only mean that they truly had seen their mother being sad and they are seeking justice for me. As a father, you also have the responsibility to educate your children! If the children beat you up. then you can only blame yourself for not fulfilling your responsibility as their father!
What she said made Ryan speechless.
In Ruth’s eyes, Ryan was indeed a fully grown man. However, in the eyes of the entire Poole family, Ryan was still like a child to them, so everyone in the Poole family was still doting on Ryan. As a result, when Ryan was at the Poole Residence, especially in front of his own children, he did not act like a father at all. Also, as he had his freedom at the Poole Residence and because his parents doted on him, Ryan lived very freely there. He was already a father of two, but he still often went to gatherings with his friends and played his heart out with them.
Sometimes, it would even be normal for him to travel somewhere for a few days. Also, Ryan spent the majority of his time doing investments all over the country.
Most of the Poole family were in politics. Even his father, who did not like to fight and compete with others, was also in politics. However, Ryan simply did not want to do that. He did not like to be in politics, so he chose to do business. He was also quite business savvy, so much so that he has quite a number of successful investments around the corner. Therefore, he actually spent two-thirds of the year flying back and forth.
In this case, both of his children were already three years old, but Ryan actually was hardly at home interacting with them. He had always felt that in any case, the children were growing up in the Poole family, so they were loved by their grandparents, and they were also very much loved by their great-grandparents. Even Alex and Jane were also so fond of this pair of grandnephews that they loved them almost the same as their own children. Therefore, Ryan, who was hardly a t home all year round, also felt that his two precious children were not lacking in love. They were the most precious fourth generation of the Poole family. Who would not love them? Ryan, as their father, was then able to take it easy, instead.
It did not matter if he took it easy once in a while, but after three years, the two little children did not have any feelings toward their father at all. Even though their mother kept praising their father as a good person, kept telling them how much he loved her, and whatnot, once they saw their mother moving out of the Poole Residence while taking them along, both the little children immediately sided with their mother and became hostile toward their father. They simply wanted to protect their mother just because their father made their mother sad. Hmph! Also, just as Ruth had said, as their father, he was also responsible for his children's rude behavior of hitting their father. He did not d o his part in educating his children.
Ryan was left speechless.
