Chapter 176

Hayley saw Molly before they even got to their table. “Molly?”

Molly looked at them and greeted them with a hesitant tone, “Hello…”

“Are you here to see me about work?”

“No, it’s just that I…”

Molly felt a bit intimidated by Hayley’s direct gaze and was struggling to find the right words. Suddenly, a small voice next to her called out to a woman, “Mom.”

Hayley was startled by the child’s voice. She looked down and saw that Molly was holding the hand of a small boy, Scott’s son, Andy.

However, the word “Mom” seemed to infuriate Chloe. Her face darkened as she slammed the table and shouted at the child, “Your father and I are divorced. Stop following me. I am not your mother!”

Andy’s handsome little face then froze in fear at her shout. He stood up straight in fear, not daring to move.

Molly was also frightened by Chloe’s fierce demeanor as she hadn’t expected Chloe to be so harsh to her own son.

Hayley, feeling it was too much, tried to persuade. “Chloe, please don’t…”

But Chloe was in a terrible mood today and didn’t listen. Instead, she glared at the child beside the table. “I never wanted to have him in the first place. It was Scott who forced me to have him. Now that we’re divorced, I don’t want to see him.”

She became more and more agitated, as if venting all her resentment on the child, and shouted, “Hayley, do you know how much trouble it is to have a child…

“When I was pregnant, I was bloated all over, had severe morning sickness, throwing up everything I ate, and suffered from leg cramps at night. The C–section scar is hideous. I don’t know why I even had him. It’s been nothing but suffering…”
