Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1853
Chapter 1853 Rotten Apple
“Mom!” Lucius yelled across the distance.
Looking up, Selena saw Delilah and Lucius standing by the entrance of the supermarket.
“Hey, you’re both here,” Selena yelled back excitedly.
Before, Selena wanted to take Lucius as her godson. In the beginning, he had also called her his godmother, but later on, they realized that he didn’t have a biological mother anyway. Hence, he switched to calling her “mom” instead.
Delilah was initially worried that it would affect Selena’s future, especially her marriage. However, Selena didn’t seem to mind at all.
“Whoa, Selena. You already have a son at such a young age?” A newly appointed supervisor, Freya Brooks, gave her the side-eye and deliberately passed a remark.
Freya had disliked Selena since the first day she started working here. It wasn’t because Selena had offended her, but because she was jealous of the latter for being too outstanding.
“Yes. This is my son.” Selena smiled awkwardly.
“Then what does your husband do for a living?” probed Freya.
Why have I never heard about Selena being married?
“Uhm, I’m not married.” Selena maintained the smile on her face.
As though she had just received great news, Freya strutted away with a gleeful smile.
“Mom, who was that? Did she bully you?” Lucius stared after the other woman with a solemn expression.
“No. I’m fine. How was school today, Lucius? Were you a good boy?” Selena gently caressed the boy’s head.
That day was Lucius’ first day in school. Because of work, Selena couldn’t send him to school.
“It was great, Mom. Don’t worry. I’m your son, after all!” Lucius patted his chest in a manly way.
“Hey, have you heard? It turns out that Selena has a son! It’s true. And she’s not even married yet. My God, how can there be such a woman working in our supermarket? She has no self-respect whatsoever. What an embarrassment…”
