The Bound Between Us

Chapter 388

Upon hearing that Salma was bringing Pattie along, a pang of discomfort arose in Layna’s chest, but this time, she held her tongue.

Pattie emerged from her room, and Salma put on her shoes, heading downstairs with the two children.

Donned in a blue dress with a hair accessory, Pattie looked absolutely stunning. As they walked through the neighborhood, she received heaps of compliments.

Pattie’s skin was rosy and delicate, and she looked like a little fairy in her beautiful outfit. Anyone who saw her would call her pretty, wishing they had such a beautiful daughter.

Hearing all the adults praising Pattie, Layna felt a surge of jealousy, as no one was complimenting her. Layna was taller and had some pimples. When compared with Pattie, the difference was even more apparent.

Salma led the two children to a supermarket outside the neighborhood, oblivious to the fact that Penny was watching them from a distance.

Penny was always keeping an eye on Pattie. With Anastasia moving the next day, today was their last chance. Penny and Leo had planned to kidnap Pattie, hoping that their son might come back if they did so.

Penny watched Pattie, who looked like a little princess. Her outfit alone was worth thousands of dollars. When Pattie used to be with her, she was skinny and not nearly as attractive. Now, she seemed like a completely different person.

At the supermarket.

Salma allowed Layna and Pattie to choose toys. Whatever they liked, they could take.

Layna chose the most expensive, biggest toys. Pattie, however, didn’t take anything. When asked by Salma, she replied, “I already have lots of toys.”

Pattie felt that she had enough toys, so she didn’t need any more.

Salma then said, “Well, Pattie, you can take whatever you want to eat.”
