Daniel was grounded, and Emily felt really bad about it.
But she didn't dare go against Isaac, and she also hoped that Daniel would just chill at home.
After getting up, Daniel brushed his teeth, got into his light blue dinosaur pajamas, and couldn't wait to call Brittany.
The phone was picked up quickly, and a woman's voice asked softly, "Daniel?"
"It's me, Mom. I miss you so much."
Daniel voiced his feelings, "I shouldn't have come back; now I'm grounded by my dad."
"Splash"
The sound of water was heard from the other end of the phone, and then the background noise quickly subsided.
"Daniel, are you okay right now?"
Hearing that Daniel was grounded, Brittany was a bit worried.
What kind of dad keeps his kid at home all the time? Isn't he worried that something might happen?
Daniel, being the bright and clever boy that he was, responded smugly when he heard Brittany's concern, "Mom, I just miss you so much..."
"Daniel, you can't just call anyone 'mom'."
Daniel fell silent, feeling wronged.
He didn't say anything else, and Brittany's heart ached, "Then you can call me Bri, okay?"
"I want to call you mom." Daniel lay on his bed, swinging his legs, "Mom, don't you like me?"
Of course, she liked him.
"Well, I'm going to hang up now." Daniel sighed, sounding heartbroken.
"No, no, no..." Brittany was emotionally manipulated by him, "You can call me whatever you want, okay?"
Whenever she heard Daniel's voice full of grievance, she would picture that his eyes were filled with tears. It was heartbreaking, and she could never say no to his requests.
"Really?" Daniel asked hesitantly.
Brittany regretted her previous stern attitude and quickly tried to comfort him, "Yes, Daniel, call me whatever you want; anything is fine."
"Mom!"
Daniel called out crisply, and Brittany answered back. They chatted for a long time.
Daniel was grounded, and he didn't want to deal with Emily, who was knocking on his door.
After chatting for the whole morning, Brittany was finally able to calm him down. She ended the call, and he got off the bed, his feet touching the carpet.
