Mr.Salt was in the living room, in the middle of filing his nails all by himself. He was in the middle of being focusing on sharpening them, his ears pricked up to the sound of a female voice that wasn't his. wife.
"Daddy!", shouted the female voice.
He had stood up from the chair that he was sitting and turned around. He saw his daughter, Veruca ,walking towards him looking angry,
"How could you do something like that!?",yelled Veruca angrily.
Mr.Salt looked at his daughter in disbelief like she had said something crazy?
"Do what?",he asked
"Oh I don't know...lie to a couple about an adoption, even though there was not going to be an adoption!?",yelled Veruca.
That is when Mr.Salt started to glare at Veruca coldly. He knew what was she talking about when she had said the word "adoption" "
"Oh Veruca, what else was I suppose to do since you weren't going to give up that "thing" for adoption?.",snorted Mr.Salt.
"My baby isn't a "thing" it's a baby!",yelled Veruca.
"No it isn't! It deserves to be called that since you and that boy whatever-his-name conceived out of wedlock!",roared Mr.Salt.
"But at least we got married...",said Veruca.
"That doesn't count Veruca! I expected you to marry someone that has our status! What does Mike have!?!...nothing!", yelled Mr.Salt.
"But I love him, Daddy. Sure, he is not part of our social status but he is a person who I love so much.",shared Veruca .
"Didn't you listen to me, Veruca? Stop acting like you did the right thing!",yelled Mr.Salt.
"I did the right thing!",yelled Veruca. That wasn't until Mrs.Salt came into the room with a questionable look on her face.
"What's going on?",she asked.
Mr.Salt turned to his wife with a red look on his face, "This is your fault Margaret"
"My fault?? What did I do?",asked Mrs.Salt.
"You failed our daughter! You didn't parent her enough! She wouldn't be like this!",yelled Mr.Salt
"I parent,I parent are we talking about we!? Cause we raised her together Rupert don't point fingers at me!" Yelled Mrs.Salt
"You were the one who gave birth to her Margaret !I didn't carry her for 9 months you did!", blasted,Mr.Salt .
Mrs.Salt gasped to what her husband said
"Don't speak to Mommy like that!",yelled Veruca.
Mr.Salt turned around to face his daughter
"Hey you don't tell me what to do I do!",yelled Mr.Salt.
"Honey, our daughter might have a .point..." Mrs.Salt paused.
Mr.Salt then turned back towards his wife
"Stop it, I'm tired of you trying to defend her!",yelled Mr.Salt.
"Daddy stop yelling at Mommy like that!",yelled Veruca.
All of a sudden, Mr.Salt turned back towards his daughters and raised his hand up in the air
,then , he hit her across the cheek...! That is what broke the silence
"V-Veruca I'm so sorry...",pleaded Mr.Salt.
He realized what he just done. All that Veruca could do was respond in a huff and walk off.
Mr.Salt turned towards Mrs.Salt
"H-honey, you know I did that by..." Mrs.Salt shushed him
"I don't wanna hear it anymore you know what that's it
,Rupert I want a divorce!", Mrs.Salt walked off leaving Mr.Salt by himself shocked. "What have I done..." He said to himself.
