章 57: Negotiations with a baby.

Their father tried to set them on the right path and he brought Soverick into it in a bid to achieve this.

"Soverick likes reading. There must be something about it that has grabbed his attention." Ghoto said before turning to his eldest son, "Why don't you tell them what is so interesting about reading, Soverick."

"Don't bring me into this, old man." That was what Ghoto got for his effort. Soverick had no intention of helping out.

"Why are you like this? Why don't you want to help your siblings?" Ghoto almost pleaded for support but his eldest was as stone-cold as ever. His eldest son had always been detached from responsibility. There was this one time when he watched his siblings playing with a very sharp object that escaped his search. He had reprimanded the boy but he had said, "how will they learn if they don't get hurt? Experience is the best teacher old man."

Ghoto was looking forward to his excuse this time.
