Natalie had been so swept up in the moment that the words "family of four" just slipped out.
Terence was standing right behind her and heard her say their family of four was doing great. In that instant, his heart swelled with joy.
Just then, a customer stood up and said to Victoria, "It's people like you who give mothers-in-law a bad name."
"They're already divorced, yet you still show up to harass her. You'd have to have the worst luck in the world to end up with a mother-in-law like you. Thank goodness she's an ex-mother-in-law now."
Listening to everyone's rebukes, Victoria was furious. How dare these people criticize her?
She was the mother of the president of the Cross Group. What right did these lowlifes have to talk to her like that?
"How dare you people insult me? Do you have any idea who I am? I'm the mother of the president of the Cross Group! Who do you think you are to talk to me this way?"
Someone laughed and said, "Oh, so you're the Cross Group president's mother? Well, this probably isn't the right place for you. Why don't you hurry back to your precious Cross Group?"
Victoria was fuming. Just then, she spotted Hanley and immediately pulled him forward. "Why are you all siding with her? Don't you know she's the kind of woman who abandons her own family? She doesn't even want her own son, all so she can suck up to another man's kids and be their stepmother."
Someone in the crowd who didn't know the story murmured, "She doesn't want her own child? What kind of woman does that?"
"But Mommy does care about me! When I was sick, she stayed up all night to take care of me. When I had an allergic reaction, she was so careful with me. I was too immature back then. I thought she was annoying and useless, but now I regret it. Mommy was right. Life can be happy even if it's simple."
Since the Lockwood Group went bankrupt, Hanley rarely saw Darren. His father was always busy, and the house felt empty. His grandmother was often out playing cards, leaving him all alone.
In those moments, he was filled with regret. His family used to be so happy. His mommy would greet him with a smile when he came home and cook delicious meals for him.
She would make sure he was dressed warmly when it was cold. But now, their home was just empty and desolate. He was so scared, especially today when he saw his mommy laughing so happily with Terence, Lucas, and Liana.

I think Terence must know something isn't right about Angela, that's why he agreed to figure it out....
Marie needs to be gone, she has caused enough trouble for Natalie. This is getting boring!...
This fiasco needs to end. Natalie and Terrance need to be together and in my mind somehow those twins are Natalie’s....
Time for Marie to get her end, this has gone on way too long, time to move on. It’s getting boring....
