Chapter 601 Double Standards

Bella leaned close to Lily and whispered, "Your dad is the master of double standards. He spoils you rotten, but if anyone else does it, it's suddenly a problem. You wanted to play, and now I'm the one getting scolded. Did you hear what he said? Next time you want to play, go ask your dad, not me. Got it?" Lily's response was a soft, baby-scented sneeze. Bella panicked and tucked her under the blankets. "Are you cold now? See? I told you not to play in the snow, but you cried until I gave in…" Lily, oblivious to Bella's frustration, giggled happily, thinking her mom was playing a game. Bella sighed in defeat. "Your dad and you—one's bossy and the other clueless. I can't catch a break with either of you." During dinner, Lily was restless, as usual. Dominic, ever indulgent, held her with one arm while eating with the other, his usual mealtime decorum completely out the window. The rigid rules he once upheld at the dining table seemed long forgotten. Bella couldn't help but grumble.
