Chapter 2419
Have You thought of Me?
"It's not like that," Maxwell said.
Kate, who was about to show off to these rich ladies, was stunned when she heard Maxwell's voice behind her. She looked back at Maxwell with a stiff smile on her face. "Maxwell, what are you talking about? Why is it not like this? Am I not your mother? Tell everyone, I will always be your mother."
"It's not like that," Maxwell said. He felt that he had to make it clear. He couldn't let anyone look down on Nia. "Although you're my biological mother, Aunt Nia is also my mother. She treats me very well and treats me as her own. I promised my father and Aunt Nia that..."
Under the gaze of the guests around her, Maxwell looked at Kate, whose eyes were wide open, seriously. "When I grow up, I will love and take care of Nia as my own mother."
"Maxwell!" Kate held Maxwell's shoulder hard and her eyes turned red with anxiety. "Do you know what you are talking about? That woman is only your stepmother, stepmother! I am your biological mother! You should love me! She is not your mother. You can't love her or be filial to her. You have no responsibility to take care of her!"
Kate held Maxwell tightly, and her small body was almost shaken down by her.
But Maxwell still stood firmly and said with a firm attitude, "I do. Because she is now married to my father, and she is my mother. She treats me very well, so I must treat her well."
"Maxwell!" Kate widened her eyes. She didn't believe that Maxwell would say that. "Tell me, did Zayn ask you to say that?"
Maxwell shook her head.
Kate thought that her voice might have scared Maxwell, so she forced a smile, lowered her voice, and coaxed her. "Maxwell, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid of them threatening you. Mom is here. Tell her quickly, did they teach you that because they don't like me?"
Maxwell shook her head again.
"Who is it? Nia? Or your grandparents, or..." Kate looked at Maxwell and shook her head. Her face was getting worse. "Or is it Nia? Did she ask you to say that?"
"No," Maxwell replied firmly.
"It must be!" Kate shouted angrily.
The guests around began to whisper again. Kate's eyes were full of tears. She was anxious and angry, but there was nothing she could do.
If Maxwell had been her child, she would have slapped her in the face. However, she didn't dare to do so because Maxwell was the Young Master of the Ali Enterprises. She didn't have the right to raise her. If she dared to do so, the guests and waiters would all be watching. In the future, the Ali Enterprises would strip her of the right to visit Maxwell forever!
Moreover, she wasn't the one who raised Maxwell. She didn't have the right or the right to hit her son!
Kate held Maxwell's hand and tried her best to please her. "Maxwell, why did you say that? Do you have any difficulties? You know, I will be very sad if you say that. How can you treat other women as your real mother? You only have me, your real mother. You can't treat her better than me, your real mother!"
Maxwell clenched her hands. He didn't want to say these words in front of these guests because he knew what Kate wanted. What he said would definitely make Kate angry!
But if he didn't make it clear in front of these guests, people in the outside world would think that he didn't treat Nia as his mother, and people in the outside world would look down on her!
This was something he couldn't stand!
Since he and his father, Zayn, met Nia, they knew how good Nia was to him and his father. They knew that he couldn't let outsiders look down on Nia!
Maxwell looked at Kate for a while, then suddenly walked in front of her and went straight through these female guests. Kate immediately caught up with her. "Maxwell, Maxwell!"
Most of the people in the tea meeting area were female guests, rich madams and young ladies were resting here, and some of them were male waiters and half-grown children brought by rich madams.
These rich ladies and socialites didn't say anything, but some of the children who were half-grown couldn't help but ask, "Mommy, Mommy, who is the Young Master of the Ali Enterprises? Is that Nia the mother of Young Master?"
The rich madam, who had been asked, replied to her son, "Uh... it's the bride at the wedding just now. Because she married Young Master Ali Enterprises father, she will be his mother in the future."
"Oh, then Young Master already has two mothers. Which one is his real mother?"
The rich lady looked in the direction of Maxwell and Kate, lowered her head and whispered, "It was just now!"
"Then why does Young Master want to quarrel with her real mother? Is his biological mother not good for him?"
The other child interrupted, and his voice was particularly loud. "It's definitely not good! Otherwise, why would Little Master Ali Enterprises father marry another woman?"
The loud child's mother immediately covered his mouth. "Don't talk nonsense. I heard it..."
However, other socialites began to talk about it without hesitation.
"The two children are right. Kate is not a good mother. How can she shout at her son in public?"
"That's right. If I were this Young Master, I don't know how troublesome it would be for him to have such a mother!"
"Hey, from what I can see, Miss Kate regarded Young Master as her shield and relied on him for the rest of her life! How can Miss Kate hate him? It's still Young Master who is pitiful. Tsk, tsk. The most helpless thing for a person is that he can't choose his own family..."
However, these people felt that Kate was detestable, but they also felt that Maxwell was pitiful. They were also wrong to be used by their biological mother!
Although Maxwell was gentle and modest, her attitude was tough in the face of major issues!
Maxwell came to a corner of the tea meeting room and stopped.
Outside the glass window was the scenery of Nia's river. The afternoon sun made Maxwell's little face look flawless. Her hair was black, and she was wearing a gown. She looked very noble and beautiful.
Kate pulled Maxwell to face her as soon as she caught up with her. She grabbed Maxwell and asked anxiously, "Maxwell, why are you running away? Do you know how much trouble you will bring to me if you say that in front of those people? They will think that you don't want to recognize me as your mother. Have you ever thought about me in the future..."
"Have you ever thought of me?" Maxwell asked her.
Kate was stunned and looked at Maxwell uneasily. "What, what do you mean?"
"Just now, you didn't allow me to say in front of those people that I like Aunt Nia. You wanted people to think that I only acknowledged you as my mother, didn't you?" Maxwell was already sensible. She knew how to see the adult's expression and understood his intentions.
