Chapter 275 Repentance

Belle glared at Rachael irritably. "Before you married Brian, you said Alex was too young to live without a mother, which was all the more reason you both needed to get married so that you could be the mother figure for the child. Nevertheless, not long after you were married to Brian, you were pregnant, and that became an excuse for you to stop your husband from taking Alex back to Dusktown. Then, when your son grew older, I figured it was time for Brian to register Alex for kindergarten, only to be told that you were pregnant the second time. While Alex was forced to wait once again, I already saw through you for who you were, lady. At that moment, I changed my mind and decided not to let you take Alex with you, even if you agreed to. After all, you were full of lies with all your empty promises about looking after Alex. That kid was just a toddler back then, and if I had handed him over to you, something terrible could have happened should you overlook him." Rachael's face flushed in resentment. "I wasn't lying. I was indeed pregnant not long after Brian and I got married. Larry and Lucy were not in good health, and I was barely coping with taking care of them, let alone looking after one more child."
