Chapter 80 A Bad Mom

15 min left

Downstairs in the living room, Cordelia had a pounding headache from Daniel’s nonstop screaming.

For the first time in her life, she genuinely wanted to run away from

home.

She frowned and glanced at Rebecca, who was sitting in silence.

“You can’t keep spoiling him like this. I get it–hitting a kid isn’t right, but come on! There are exceptions. Grab a slipper, scare him into shutting up!”

Rebecca immediately jumped to her son’s defense.

“Mom, don’t say that. Danny used to be such a sweet boy. And hitting a defenseless child? That’s cruel.”

Cordelia let out a bitter laugh, equal parts exasperated and furious.

“Danny was well–behaved because of Alistair. Have you already forgotten? It was Alistair who used to calm him down whenever he acted up.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Cordelia noticed Rebecca’s dejected expression. She immediately realized that she shouldn’t

have brought up this matter, but what had been said couldn’t be

taken back.

Cordelia felt rather uncomfortable.

Even though she had looked down on Alistair before, at this moment, she couldn’t help but wonder how Alistair had managed to get through these five years.

Rebecca was very protective of her child, and Daniel was really hard to deal with.

Over the past five years, Alistair had been taking care of Daniel, and he had never once resorted to violence.

But Daniel had only been living here for a week, and Cordelia, who claimed to have a good temper, was on the verge of using a belt to discipline Daniel.

Cordelia couldn’t help but sigh.

Alistair really has it tough.

Just because of Daniel’s naughtiness, it was likely that Alistair wouldn’t remarry Rebecca. What’s more, Rebecca didn’t have a good temper either, Cordelia stole a silent glance at her daughter.

Even though she knew it was impossible, Cordelia couldn’t help

but hold out a glimmer of hope.

Even if Daniel wasn’t Alistair’s son, at least Alistair had raised him single–handedly. Cordelia didn’t believe that Alistair had any feelings for Daniel and Rebecca at all.

At this thought, Cordelia coughed lightly, feeling a bit awkward.

“Well, Rebecca, I wanted to ask you this a long time ago. In the past six years, have you and Alistair, well, you know…”

As adults, some things didn’t need to be made too explicit.

The questions that Cordelia could discuss at ease with her friends were not something she could explicitly say to Rebecca.

Similarly, Rebecca could share her privacy with her girlfriends, but it was difficult for her to talk about such things with her mother.

Rebecca remained silent for a long time and then shook her head.

Cordelia felt extremely speechless.

So Rebecca’s insistence on being with Alistair back then was simply to provoke Richard.

Cordelia found it hard to accept.

She couldn’t believe that someone as calm and rational as herself had given birth to someone as foolish as Rebecca.

She really wished she could put Rebecca back in the womb.

In fact, Rebecca’s stubbornness six years ago had already

revealed her nature of being infatuated with love.

Cordelia and Nathaniel were angry about it, and most of their resentment was directed at Alistair.

When Rebecca first brought Alistair to meet them, he got

battered.

After believing that Alistair bewitched their daughter, Cordelia and Nathaniel treated him even more harshly and deliberately made things difficult for him.

However, day by day, Alistair’s advantages, such as being steady and reserved, down–to–earth, meticulous, and extremely patient, gradually became apparent. Cordelia and Nathaniel began to

But they never expected that just when they finally accepted Alistair, Rebecca suddenly told them that Daniel had a different biological father.

Alistair had actually been just a tool for Rebecca to provoke Richard. And Rebecca’s dream lover happened to be Richard, whose parents had poor moral character.

Except for having a seemingly good family background, Richard

was inferior to Alistair in every way.

Anyway, in Cordelia’s eyes, Richard, who had a good appearance, was not as pleasing as Alistair.

It had been proved that their decision not to choose Richard at the beginning was right. Richard was a coward who only knew how to run away from problems and had no sense of responsibility.

Richard’s coming back to reconcile with Rebecca this time had not been because he had finally had a change of heart and been willing to take on his responsibilities. He must have come back for the sake of benefits.

Fortunately, Richard had shown his true colors. But what had made Cordelia regretful was that Rebecca had given up Alistair for such a scumbag. It was really a great loss.

Cordelia had felt sorry about this matter, let alone Rebecca.

Amidst Daniel’s tireless crying, Rebecca had stood up silently and headed up to the second floor.
