Kate was still thin, but her face was not as pale as before. After all, her heart disease had been cured.
Because she lived in prison, her hair was cut into short hair, and her hands were full of calluses because she needed to do some labor to transform them.
She was no longer as pampered as she used to be.
She looked at Nia's slightly bulging abdomen for a few months and withdrew her eyes. She sighed and said, "When I saw Nia's appearance when you were pregnant, I remembered that when I was pregnant with Maxwell, I vomited so much at that time. The Ali Enterprises was afraid that something bad would happen to the child. I was worried that Granny and her mother would send her here every day."
Nia's hands, which were weaving threads, slowed down a little.
As a woman who was used to scheming, Kate naturally noticed Nia's reaction and said more harshly, "However, when I was pregnant with Maxwell, I was much more pregnant than you. I was five or six months old in four months. Everyone thought that I was pregnant with twins!"
Speaking of this, Kate covered her mouth and said with a smile, "It's true. As soon as Maxwell was born, she was more energetic than other babies! Granny likes her very much, and so does her mother. Everyone is fighting to hold her!"
Nia's fingers slowly tightened...
She only heard the story of her lover's ex- affair in front of her. She felt very sad. No, no woman would like to hear it. This kind of feeling made people feel that she was a little redundant.
"Your belly is not as good as mine at that time. I was pregnant more than you at that time." Kate stared at Nia's belly with hatred again and said with a smile, "It has been a few months since you had a belly. This flat belly can't be malnourished, can it?"
He couldn't tolerate the evaluation of his own child by this unrelated woman!
Nia put down the sweater that was half woven on her knees and looked at Kate. "Don't worry. My child is very healthy. There will be a check-up every month. You don't have to worry about it. Didn't you say that you would come to see Maxwell? Now that you've seen her, can you leave?"
"Why did you drive me away?" Kate's face suddenly changed. She leaned forward and looked at Nia with vicious eyes. "Are you from the Ali Enterprises now? Are you married to Zayn? Did you get the marriage certificate with him? Since you don't have it, what identity do you have to drive me away?"
Nia's fingers tightened.
This woman was indeed terrifying.
She and Zayn naturally did not have a wedding ceremony. On the date of collecting the marriage certificate, they also discussed how to get it on the day before the wedding.
Looking at Nia's face, Kate snorted again. Like the hostess of the Ali Family, she arrogantly leaned back on the comfortable sofa. "Are you engaged to Zayn? Hum, the engagement is not guaranteed by the law. The engagement can't mean that you are from the Ali Family. You are pregnant with the child of Sin, and you are still an outsider now!"
Kate said coldly again, "I've been engaged to Zayn and had a child for him!"
Nia thought of the baby in her belly and tried hard to take a deep breath, trying not to be too emotional. She didn't want to affect the baby in her belly.
She continued to weave a children's sweater in her hand and said calmly, "Then sit down. Zayn should be back soon. I don't think he will let you stay. After all, you saw that Maxwell has no feelings for you, her mother. You were born with Maxwell, but you have never brought him up for a day."
Kate clutched her clothes tightly with her fingers.
It was obvious that these words had hurt her heart.
A stiff smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. "That's because the situation is special. It's not that I don't want to raise him and don't bring him along. Now that Maxwell is still young, he'll understand when he grows up. Besides, I'm his birth mother. Nia,do you think that Maxwell will love other women more than her own birth mother?"
Nia's movement of knitting hair slowly stopped.
"Listen carefully." Kate gritted her teeth and said, "Even if you finally marry Maxwell's stepmother in Zayn, the world can't poison her. Do you really think that Maxwell will be closer to you? Don't even dream about it. When he grows up, he will naturally understand who her most important mother is!"
Kate emphasized that she was Maxwell's mother over and over again because she was not confident that Maxwell would recognize her.
Because she could see that after meeting her, Maxwell did not call her mother, nor did she talk to him. Instead, before going upstairs, she even greeted Nia. It seemed that she was very close to Nia... How could she watch her son get close to another woman!
"And!" Kate looked at the threads of hair in Nia's hand and said coldly, "What age are you still knitting a sweater? You look like a poor woman! The Ali Enterprises is such a big family. Do you have any good clothes that you want? Do you want my son to wear the sweater you made?"
Looking at the size of the sweater in Nia's hand, Kate guessed that it must have been woven for Maxwell!
She would not let her son wear this woman's sweater!
Nia slowly raised her eyes and said, "If you say so, then you really don't want to care about Maxwell."
"What?" Kate was amused. "I don't care about Maxwell. She's my son..."
"Anle!" Zayn's furious voice came in from outside.
With a few footsteps, Zayn walked into the living room, followed by Madam and Sister-in-law.
Kate suddenly understood when she saw Zayn.
It was as if everything had remained the same as yesterday.
He was still as charming as before.
It seemed that her feelings for him were still the same as yesterday. They had just quarreled, and Zayn would soon come back to her side...
She stood up gently, wiped her face, and showed a smile. "Zayn, you're back?" Wanru was the wife who was waiting for her husband to come back at home.
Zayn rushed over with a few big steps, grabbed her clothes, and his eyes were red. "Anle, if you come to see Maxwell, since you have seen her, you should leave quickly. The Ali Enterprises doesn't welcome you!"
Kate was stunned for a moment and looked at the stranger on Zayn's face. "Zayn, why are you so fierce to me? We have children I am the mother of Maxwell!"
"Do you deserve to be Maxwell's mother?" Zayn gritted his teeth, his handsome face black. "Have you ever given him a day's love?"
"That's not what I thought." Kate heard this and immediately became angry. "The Ali Enterprises took Maxwell away two days after I gave birth to her. I was taken to jail after sitting in bed for a month. Do you have the chance to take him with you?"
"You know why you are in jail." Zayn said angrily, "And a vicious woman like you can still bring a child for you?"
Kate looked at Zayn's excited and resentful face, as if she regretted that Maxwell had a mother like her. She shook her head and her eyes gradually became wet. "No, Zayn, I did something wrong, but I have changed in prison! I have been released from prison in advance, and we can be together in the future. We can stay with our son together..."
"Shut up!" Zayn's voice was scary. "I'm done with you. Don't mention us to me anymore. You will be you, I will be me, and Maxwell will be my son. My wife will miss you, and she will be Maxwell's mother in the future!"
Zayn pointed to Nia's side.
Hearing Zayn's words, Nia's eyes were a little sore, and she smiled.
Although what Miss Kate said just now made her feel uncomfortable, she always felt... gratified by what Zayn said.
Nia slowly stood up. She looked in the direction of the second floor and said softly, "Zayn, forget it. Let go of Maxwell's mother."
Zayn went to the second floor and saw that Maxwell was standing on the railing of the corridor, looking at her and Kate.
When Madam and Madam saw Maxwell, they were all shocked.
After all, it was always not good to let Maxwell see her father scold her mother.
Whether Maxwell recognized Kate as her mother or not, Kate was always Maxwell's mother.
Zayn realized that he was holding Kate. Thinking of Maxwell, he let go of her. "Maxwell, you're out. Why don't you come down?"
Maxwell didn't say anything and just looked at them.
She grasped the railing with both hands and her eyes were filled with the loneliness of a child.
