Chapter 426
Todd's mouth twitched as he looked at his messy hair and torn collar in the mirror.
Keith's mouth also twitched. He had a red mark on his face. He didn't know who had scratched him, and his shirt collar was black. He looked disheveled...
Only Owen was excited. "You lost today, Todd, hahaha. Hurry up and call me Mr. Owen!"
Todd rolled his eyes at him, "Look at Angela and then you can talk."
Angela stood dejectedly in front of the mirror, looking helplessly at her reflection. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
Angela had long hair, which was now tangled like a bird's nest. Several holes were torn in her gown, and there were dirty footprints on her pink dress.
"Um, Angela, I'm sorry..." Owen said guiltily. "I won't do it again..."
Todd walked over and helped Angela fix her hair and clothes before leading her out.
The six of them sat down at a small table.
The commotion had been intense, so all four children were quiet during the meal.
After Haley finished eating, she tentatively spoke up. "It's getting late today, Mr. Winston. Why don't we let Keith and Owen stay at my place?"
Ivan put down his knife and fork. "I believe I said the same thing to you yesterday."
Haley fell silent.
Yesterday, the Winston family had offered her a place to stay, but she refused.
Today, she offered to let Keith and Owen stay at her place, so it was understandable that Ivan would refuse.
However, she really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to spend time with the children.
She pressed her lips together and asked, "So what exactly do you need for Keith and Owen to stay at my place overnight?"
"You’re their biological mother, so it's only natural for them to stay with you. I have no objection to that," Ivan said calmly.
Haley was stunned.
He had agreed?
"But," Ivan said, "I am the children's father, so I don't think it's too much to ask for them to stay with the Winston family occasionally."
Haley remained silent.
She knew that man wouldn't be so easy to negotiate with.
If she refused, Keith and Owen definitely wouldn't be able to stay here tonight.
If she agreed, it meant that someday in the future, she would have to send Todd and Angela to the Winston family.
Tension filled the air.
Ivan looked at her for a few seconds and softly said, "It's okay; I'm just saying it. I won’t force the children to stay at the Winston family. If they don't want to, I won't insist."
He then turned to Keith and Owen. "You two are grown up. You have the right to decide where you sleep tonight. I won't interfere."
"Wow, really, Dad?" Owen thought this was impossible, but suddenly, everything had changed, and he was very happy. "You're amazing, Dad. You're the best dad in the whole world. I love you!"
The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched. He knew that Owen had given him a nickname behind his back, secretly calling him the Demon King. But since he had agreed to let him stay, he had become the best dad in the world. He didn't know whether he should be happy or angry about this.
