Thus, Sophia had no choice but to suppress her anger. ‘I’ll show them what’s what when we’re home!’ she thought.
However, it was still hard for her to process her emotions so quickly, so she got up and said, “Please look after Benjamin while I
go to the restroom.”
After that, she strode out of the private booth angrily.
She had never been treated so badly by any other people in the world. The only two people who had ever made her that angry
were Jeremy and Benjamin.
It was very frustrating, to say the least.
After Sophia went out, Jeremy looked down at the little boy in his lap. “Why did you say something like that?” he asked curiously.
‘Benjamin’ did not feel like he had done anything wrong. He really did not like Sophia from the bottom of his heart.
“I just don’t like her touching me!” he answered honestly.
Jeremy frowned. “No matter what, she’s still your mother. You can’t talk like that to your mother. You must respect her.”
‘Benjamin’ understood that, but Sophia was not his mother. For some reason, he would instantly feel a wave of repulsion wash
over him whenever he saw her, so it was very difficult for him to respect her at all.
However, he simply nodded along to what Jeremy said since he did not want him to find out he was not actually Benjamin.
“Yes, Daddy...”
Jeremy looked at him and sighed. His stern expression never disappeared.
‘This kid has been acting weird ever since he came home last night...’ he thought.
...
Sophia angrily strode toward the restroom after she came out of the private booth.
She had nowhere to vent her anger. ‘How can that kid still refuse to call me Mommy after all the time and effort I’ve spent on that
kid? Not to mention, he’s been getting more and more disrespectful!’
She dared not complain to her father because she knew he would be livid and teach Jeremy a lesson if she told her father what
happened. Instead, she would always tell her father that she was happy living with Jeremy and Benjamin.
After all, she did not want history to repeat itself. What if Adam beat Jeremy a hundred times with a stick again? Jeremy had
already become wheelchair-bound, so Sophia did not think he would be able to come out alive if he received another beating
from Adam.
Thus, she had no choice but to endure her suffering alone. Also, she had faith that Jeremy would warm up to her if she kept
showing him how much she loved him. As for Benjamin, well... She could throw him away after Jeremy fell in love with her.
It would only create more trouble for her if she kept that ungrateful kid by her side.
She was so engrossed with her thoughts that she did not see where she was going. Suddenly, she stumbled into someone,
which caused her to fall to the floor.
“Argh!” she screamed out in pain. She twisted her ankle! “Are you blind or something? Why didn’t you look where you were
going?!” she shouted at the person who knocked her over.
The other person had fallen to the ground too and immediately started crying out loud.
Sophia became even angrier when she heard the cries. How could the other person cry first when she was the victim?
