Under my unflinching gaze, Ethan backed down and took me back to the Sean residence.
That was the first time I was close to Daniel. He was sitting on Brenda’s lap, holding her face and asking with a pitiful look in his eyes.
“Mom, when will dad come back?”
When he heard Ethan’s footsteps, Daniel jumped off Brenda’s lap and threw herself into Ethan’s arms.
“Dad!”
Brenda didn’t seem to notice me outside the door. She was like a wife waiting for her husband to come home when she said, “Ethan, you’re back just in time. I’ll ask the maid to serve the food.

“Daniel, I’m your mother Are you willing to leave with me?‘%
As soon as these words came out, the friendliness that Daniel had shown me disappeared, and his eyes were filled with anger as he looked at me.
“You are not my mother! You’re here to steal my dad, aren’t you? Get out of here! We don’t want you here!”
When I heard the words I had expected, my last bit of concern was gone.
I smiled sarcastically and said to Ethan,!
