He didn’t know what he did wrong. Why did Marina beat him?
A handprint appeared on his face, and his right cheek became swollen.
Marina’s rage quickly dissipated, and she started to feel guilty.novelbin
She drew him into her embrace and said, “Baby, did it hurt? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”
She hated Olivia with every fiber of her being, but her mood quickly improved when she thought aboutOlivia’s dwindling lifespan.
A hint of joy flashed on her face. “That bitch is going to die soon. That’s great!
“Baby, we’ll have your father with us again. You look so much like him, so you have to cozy up to him sohe will treat us better.”
After everything she has been through, she became mentally unstable.
She would change her mood abruptly. Her expressions were crazed.
Connor feared her more and more. The fear was apparent in his eyes, and he was too scared to speak.
Mina knocked on the door. She saw Connor’s swollen cheek.
In the past, Marina had spanked Connor when she had emotionally unstable moments, but she hadnever slapped his face before.
The sight of his swollen cheek pained Mina, who had practically raised him.
“You saw everything, didn’t you? I was just disciplining my son. Why are you looking at me like that?”
Marina asked nonchalantly.
Mina suppressed her anger and said, “I want to know what terrible thing Master Connor did that wouldwarrant such harsh treatment.
“How could you be so heavy-handed with discipline on a child who is barely three years old?
“He is so well-behaved that I can hardly bear to see him hurt. How did you find it in yourself to do such athing?”
“How dare you talk to me like that? Who do you think you are?”
Marina tried to stand up and hit Mina. She forgot that her legs were completely crippled, and she couldnot stand.
She fell as soon as she tried to stand.
Mina hugged the child with a tender expression.
She said, “In the past, I endured your treatment of Master Connor. But you’ve only gotten worse. Do youknow that slapping can potentially cause him to go deaf?”
Mina thought Marina would learn her lesson after she had been through so many hardships.
The sad truth was that some people were born evil, and they could never change their ways.
Marina had only gotten worse. She was even venting her frustration on Connor.
Marina’s expression quickly changed when Mina picked Connor up and began to walk away. Her cockydemeanor quickly faded.
“Where are you going?”
“Master Connor had become strong and confident after almost a year of solitary training. You were theone who cried and begged to see him.
“That was why Mr. Miller gave you a chance to meet. But he has only been here for such a short time,and he’s become so sensitive.
“This is proof that you’re not suited to be a mother. You’re also not worthy of raising Master Connor.”
Marina immediately cried and started to beg, “I’m sorry, Mina. Please don’t take him away. I’ll never dothat again.
“I was just angry because he called Olivia his mom but not me. I swear I will treat him better. Pleasedon’t tell Ethan about this.”
Marina knew that she had almost exhausted the gratitude Ethan had for Kurt.
If she angered Ethan again, the cancellation of the engagement would be the least of her worries.
The entire Carlton Family would be at stake.
She wiggled on the ground and, with tears streaming down her cheeks, she said, “I beg of you, Mina.Please give me another chance.”
