Crossroads

Chapter 297

“What are you doing here?” Chlor asked..

I’m here shopping. Do I need your permission for that?” Typically, Molly was all about keeping the peace and disliked arguments, but seeing Chloe drained the smile from her face. Molly quickly walked over to Stephanie, tugging her to indicate they should leave. Molly had no desire to stay around with such a woman.

Chloe’s attitude made Stephanie furious. She wasn’t one to seek but trouble, but she also wasn’t someone who could be pushed around, especially not by a woman who was bullying her friend

Just as Stephanie was about to confront her, she was surprised to see the umally meek Molly even more incensed.

If the lifeguard hadn’t noticed in time, he could have…..”

Molly was seething her words cutting through the air. She couldn’t understand how such a mother could exist.
