The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 109:

? ? ? ? ?

Ted, already eight years old, was surprisingly strong for his age.

Alice felt a sharp, overwhelming pain as he hit her. Before she could recover, he hit her again. The blows carried the malice of a child who had been taught to fight dirty.

Alice struggled to defend herself, but the other children quickly restrained her. Ted continued to hit her and shouted, “This is what you get for messing with my mother! “This is what you deserve.”

Her aim was deliberate, aiming for the softer parts of his body, avoiding his face and vital points. Despite the pain, Alice managed to push one of the children away.

Ted saw this and immediately dropped the stick, grabbing a rope. In no time, he had tied his hands.

Alice's voice grew firm as she demanded, "What's wrong with you? Let me go."

Ted looked at her, his eyes burning with intensity. “If I let you go, you'll hurt my mother again. “I’ll make sure to kill you.”

Alice froze, her heart stopping for a moment. It was the first time she had seen such a fierce, almost terrifying expression in a child's eyes.

He was incredibly daring.

“Are you planning to kill me?” Alice struggled against the taut rope, breathing heavily. “Has no one ever told you that killing is a crime? You’ll end up in jail.”

To her surprise, Ted scoffed and replied, "My mother told me that I'm a boy, so nothing will happen to me if I kill you. Didn't you know that?"
