Chapter 920 Whose Fault?
Looking at Jimmy's wet eyelashes, Violet believed George's words and fell silent.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Jimmy, indeed, cried!
Although she had only spent a week or so with Jimmy, she already knew him well enough.
Jimmy was a very lazy child, too lazy to move or cry, and only grunted when he pee or poop or was hungry.
All in all, these days, Jimmy had hardly cried, even when he sobbed, there was no tears.
But now, Jimmy actually shed tears, and the tears wet his eyelashes, enough to show how sadly Jimmy had just cried.
This made Violet feel like her heart was throbbing.
She immediately took Jimmy over from Stanley's arms and stroked her son's cheek heartily, "Could you tell me what's going on? How come Jimmy cried?" Stanley's thin lips pursed. He did not say anything, only his eyes stared coldly at George.
Not only was George not afraid, but he even smiled at him.
When Violet saw that both men were silent, she became anxious.
She looked to George, "George, I gave Jimmy to you before I went to the bathroom, you tell me why exactly Jimmy cried."
"Did you hear that, Mr. Murphy? Violet said that she gave Jimmy to me, it is not I carried him secretly." George didn't answer her, just looked at Stanley smugly.
Stanley snorted coldly and looked at Violet, "Why did you give the child to him? Have you forgotten how he treated Calvin? Aren't you afraid he'll hurt Jimmy?"
"He won't, I believe in him." Violet locked eyes with Stanley and said seriously, "I'm willing to give him a chance, will you trust me too? I won't do something stupid by joking about my own child." Stanley's thin lips pursed, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Violet looked down at the little one in her arms.
The little one was sleeping soundly and his little mouth was moving from time to time in a cute way.
But looking at the little one's eyelashes that hadn't dried yet, she felt another contraction in her heart, "Okay, you guys haven't answered me, why Jimmy cried?"
She pressed the issue once more.
George touched his nose, showed a grim smile at Stanley, "Violet, it was Mr. Murphy who made Jimmy cry."
Stanley's face was gloomy.
"What?" Violet froze, "Stanley?"
She turned her head and looked at the man beside her, "Did you make Jimmy cry?"
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Stanley averted his gaze somewhat sheepishly and did not answer.
But the way he looked at it made it all very clear that the child had indeed been made to cry by him.
Violet was angry.
She freed a hand and pointed it tremblingly at Stanley, "Why did you make the child cry?"
Jimmy was not a crybaby, and to make him cry like that, he obviously must have done something mind-boggling.
"Yes, Mr. Murphy, why did you make Jimmy cry?" George looped his arms, smiling.
Stanley had seen his jokes so many times before, had used a superior attitude to lecture him and always treated him badly, George had wanted revenge for a long time. Now, it was a chance.
"Shut up!" Stanley looked at George and scolded.
George was not afraid of him and was not angry when he yelled at him, but laughed even more gloatingly.
He waited Stanley to answer Violet.
Stanley did not say anything but lectured George, Violet gave an unpleasant expression, "Stanley, what are you doing? Say it or not?"
"I'll say." Stanley's heart was more or less timid in the face of his wife's anger.
After all, he was the one who made the child cry.
So, what were his qualifications for refusing to explain?
Sighing, Stanley knew he couldn't hide it anymore and rubbed his brow, "I didn't do it on purpose, it was because I saw Jimmy in George's arms and was very uneasy, so I snatched Jimmy. I didn't expect that my actions scared Jimmy and he cried."
"It's really you." Violet blushed with anger, "Jimmy is so small, how can he be scared?"
Children's spirits are very fragile and if they are not careful, something can go wrong.
But now he scared the child into tears.
Stanley said, rubbing the tip of his nose, "I didn't mean to do it, I was worried about the child, for he was in George's arms, I was worried about what George would do to Jimmy. I asked George to return Jimmy to me, George refused, that's why I carried Jimmy over, but I didn't expect it would scare him."
"I'd like to say something here." George suddenly raised his hand, "I did not return Jimmy to Mr. Murphy, not that I refused, but Jimmy wanted to sleep at that time, I wanted to put Jimmy to sleep before returning him to Mr. Murphy. But Mr. Murphy did not even have this patience, he directly grabbed Jimmy and made Jimmy cry but he failed to coax him, in the end, Jimmy was coaxed by me."
With these words, he both belittled Stanley and exalted himself, showing the art of speaking to the fullest.
Stanley and Violet were not idiots, so how could they not understand?
Naturally, Stanley was angry.
But Violet did not react much except for a frown.
After all, it was Stanley who made the child cry, but it was George who put the child to sleep.
On the basis of this, George could secretly mocked Stanley.
Stanley failed coax the child himself.
Yes, in this moment, in her mind, the child was more important than her husband.
"Well, don't glare at George, you scared Jimmy yourself and couldn't coax him, when George coaxed him, you were upset, you're really ......" Violet said to Stanley.
Stanley pursed his thin lips and did not say anything, somewhat aggravated.
He knew that he was the one who had made Jimmy cry and failed to coax him, and in this he had indeed not done as well as George.
But that didn't mean that George could strut.
Just now, George sarcastically snapped at him, and Stanley believed that she knew that, yet she didn't take his side, which naturally made him feel sad.
Violet sighed, naturally knowing what he was thinking.
She tugged at his sleeve and pointed at Jimmy and George again the moment he looked over, telling him that it wasn't that she wasn't on his side, but that the child had been coaxed by George, and for that matter, she should speak for George.
Otherwise, she would be ungrateful.
Violet rubbed her brow and added, "It's my fault, I didn't expect you to come down so soon and I didn't tell you that I gave Jimmy to George, otherwise you wouldn't think too much about it. If I had told you in advance, you wouldn't have been so alert and scared Jimmy."
This, indeed, was her fault.
Looking at Violet's self-condemnation, George said with a light cough, "It's not your fault, it was me who offered to hold Jimmy."
"So, in the end, you're still the culprit?" Stanley narrowed his eyes and gazed dangerously at George.
