When a man had a fancy woman outside, his impatience and disgust would immediately arise in face of his plain wife.
He had begun to lose his temper inexplicably at Jaida.
Their two children had been suffering in their quarrels.
When Victor had seen him quarreling with his mother, he had glared at him like a little furious lion, intending to tear him apart.
At that time, Phillip hadn't found fault in himself. Instead, he had used Victor as an excuse to vent his anger to Jaida.
He had blamed Jaida that she didn't educate the children well enough so that Victor had such a bad temper, didn't know the manners, and treated his father as an enemy.
Every time he had said this, Jaida had looked at him with a distressed face, her tears falling silently.
