Like Mother, Like Son
As I was leaving the hospital lobby, I spotted Mnie entering, cradling a child. Walking beside her was
woman, heavily made–up and dressed provocatively. She must be Mnie’s recently reconnected
mother, Abby.

My gaze swept over her, thinking that Abby had sessfully re–entered Mnie’s life. I could not help
but sigh. After all, nothing beats a mother’s love.
This time, Grace is in for a rough ride. I wanted to ignore them, but Mnie had already spotted me.
“Chloe!” She immediately called out in anger then swiftly walked toward me.
It’s been
n over a
a month since the party, and this was my first time seeing her. I had heard from Johnson that Abby had
been hospitalized after a brutal beating from Mnie. It seemed like she had recovered.
I stopped in my tracks but was too tired to muster any attitude toward her. I calmly asked, “What do you
want?”
“You live life to the fullest, huh?” Her small eyes looked at Ryan as she spoke sarcastically. “Every day
is like a soap opera with you. You change men like you change clothes! You found a new lover, have
you?”
She actually knew Ryan, and her snide tone was meant to provoke me.
“Yeah,” I casually replied. She was only looking for trouble, and I did not want to deal with her.
Suddenly, her temper red up. “Hah… How shameless. You’re so quick to admit it as well!”
Her loud outburst immediately drew the crowd’s attention in the hospital lobby.
“Don’t waste your energy here. Save some energy for your child.” I said, ncing at the child in her
arms.
This was the first time I had seen this child. He had fair skin and looked slightly over three months old.
He resembled Mnie a lot. People say sons take after their mothers, and I believed it.
However, this child had small eyes and a big mouth. Perhaps because of premature birth, his head was
bald with sparse hair. He wasn’t very cute, no matter how I looked at him.
Startled by his mother’s loud voice, he opened his eyes wide, his mouth forming a slight pout.
Abby red at me, readying herself for a confrontation.

“Who is this?” She asked Mnie while tilting her head.
*Matthew’s ex–wife!” Mnie said, then shot a nasty look at me. “Why didn’t those people hit you hard
“If a shameless mistress like you lives the high life, why should I be worried?” With that, I grabbed Ryan
and walked away.
However, it seemed like Mnie was in for a brawl.
She threw her child to her mother and chased after me. Grabbing my arm, she asked, “What’s wrong?
Are you scared? You made me give birth prematurely, yet you’re still talking big?”
This sentence attracted those who were paying attention, and they immediately stopped to watch.
“For your information, I have the video on my phone. Do you want everyone to see how you caused
your from now child to be born prematurely?” I gave my phone a little shake. “Can we just act like
strangers
on? Can’t you understand that?”
“Understand? You tricked us out of our property and lived in our appartment. You shameless
homewrecker!” She screamed, her eyes narrowing at me like a snake.
I knew Mnie had been resentful for a while. Since Matthew had bought the house for her, she
thought
everything should have been hers. Things went wrong beyond her expectations.

“Have you ever heard of a legal wife stealing property? you’re the other woman, haven’t you?” I looked
at her calmly. “Don’t be too greedy. You already have the man, so stop shamelessly bringing up your
disgraceful past!”
I didn’t mince words, aiming straight for her soft spot.
“You shameless harlot! What are you saying? How dare you insult my daughter?” Abby was itching for
at fight and couldn’t pass up such an excellent opportunity to show off.
Ignoring the child in her arms, she surged forward, heading straight for me.
