A gaze of intense hatred appeared in Hecate’s eyes. “Madam Angeline, you look down on me because of my lowly family background, right? I’m not good enough for the Ares family, right?”
Angeline shook her head and said, “You’re wrong. I’ve never looked down on you because of your family background. The children from the military intelligence division all come from incomplete families. However, I’d be overjoyed if any of them and Baby Robbie develop a liking for each other. I don’t like you because you have no idea how to love someone at all. It has nothing to do with your lowly family background.
“I’m Baby Robbie’s mommy. The only requirement I have for my daughter-in-law is for her to be someone who loves Baby Robbie wholeheartedly. You’re incapable of doing that.”
“I do love him,” Hecate shouted out.
“If you really do love him, why did you put him in a position where he was forced to go against his friends and family? How could you make him unhappy every day?” Angeline questioned Hecate.
Hecate was speechless.
Angeline added, “Hecate, I was once young like you as well. I’ve loved someone as well. When I first fell for Sir Ares, I always yearned for the kittens and puppies next to him to stay healthy and happy. That’s because he’ll only be safe and happy if the people beside him are doing fine.”
Hecate cast an ambiguous glance at Angeline. Finally, Angeline said in a decisive tone, “You don’t love Baby Robbie. You only love yourself. Of course, I look down on your selfish love for him.”
Hecate said, “I admit that I love myself, but Baby Robbie is the person I love the most other than myself. Who wouldn’t love themselves the most out of everyone in the world? If we don’t love ourselves, how can we love someone else?”
Angeline shook her head in disappointment. “Hecate, loving yourself doesn’t go against your love for others. All mothers prioritize their children’s healthy growth more than their own lives. All loving couples can’t help but be madly in love with each other.”
Hecate stared at Angeline in a dazed manner. She did not understand what Angeline meant as she had never seen such noble love before.
She shouted out angrily, “In other words, you’re just mocking and looking down on me. Guys, come over and ruin her pretty face. I’d like to see if she’ll still be able to act so high and mighty once her husband starts hating her for her ugly face.”
A few burly men approached Angeline with daggers in their hands.
Just as the men wielded their daggers and approached Angeline, a ray of cold light shone toward them. The men threw their daggers away in pain and stared at the exit in shock.
“Who’s it?”
