Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 307

"Do you think all stepmothers are bad?" Crystal came out of the restaurant in a low mood.

When walking out of the bathroom on the first floor, she saw a woman pass by, dragging a boy about the same age as Geoffrey.She could see clearly that the boy was sobbing with tears in his red eyes.

His left arm was seriously scalded.

The wound was as big as a palm of adult, and blood was oozing out of it.

Crystal felt painful for the little kid when looking at the wound.

However, what shocked her even more, was that the woman held the child impatiently and put his scalded hand under the tap with maximum flow of water to wash it.

Such rude treatment made the child cry in great pain.

The more the child struggled, the greener the mother's face became.

"Cry for what? You brought shame on me.Everyone was looking at me.You were only scalded by the hot pot stove.Why are you crying like this? You such a useless thing!"

"Shut up, shut up now! Do you hear me? No wonder your mother doesn't want you anymore..."

"Hey, the child's hand is so badly scalded.You have to take him to the hospital now” Crystal mustered up her courage, walked over, and argued with this woman.

But the woman looked aggressive.

"It's not your son.It's none of your business even if he dies." Crystal was really angry.

She said to the woman, "You have to be polite."

However, obviously, she couldn't win the woman by eloquence.

Just as she was thinking about whether to turn to the staff of the store for help, Chandler saw her and walked over.

"There should be surveillance footage here, Miss.Your behavior is a kind of child abuse."

Chandler's tone was flat, but it was absolutely useful.

The woman's face changedShe raised her head and yelled at them angrily, "Child abuse? I warn you not to talk nonsense.Although he is not my birth son, he is also my son.I saw his hand be scalded, so I put it under the cold water.This is the most basic treatment."

"The wound is so bad.Aren't you going to take him to the hospital?"

"Who said I wouldn't take him to the hospital?"

At last, the woman angrily dragged the boy away. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Crystal stayed where she was for a long time, feeling depressed.

"As expected, stepmothers have been vicious since ancient times: Chandler lowered his head and kept an eye on the change in the little woman's expression.

Crystal was a "simple-minded" girl, who can be particularly susceptible to external influences.

Finding that she had not gone upstairs for 20 minutes in the bathroom, he thought she was lost.

It turned out that she was there.

He reached out his hand and ruffled her short, fluffy hair.

"It's not that every stepmother is bad" Crystal looked up at him.

With a gentle smile on his face, Chandler said in a serious voice, ",.Astupid stepmother can't be vicious."

Getting out of the restaurant, they walked side by side on the spacious commercial street.

Crystal's sadness for the past second suddenly turned into anger.

Such a polished scoundrel.

What do you expect from a pig but a grunt! In fact, life in City C is quite comfortable.

At least it is not as busy and urgent as City A.

"I went to the hospital for a psychiatrist at Christmas."

Christina was actually speechless about herself.

After leaving the hospital, she was a little depressed.

The taxi driver asked several times about her destination.

But she only laughed at herself because she didn't know where she was going neither.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, she suddenly remembered an address.

Christina decided to go to Betty's place.It was Christmas that day.

She used to spend the holiday with her aunt.

It had been a long time since they met.

Although there was some estrangement in her heart, they were still relatives.

Betty's new residence was arranged by Derek.

It was right behind the east square of the city in the downtown area.

The rent was not cheap.

Betty insisted on paying the money.

And Derek failed to reject but can only accept her money.

Christina got out of the car at the entrance of the community.

She looked at the huge building complex in the east square in front of her with thoughtful eyes...

"I'll go to the square later and find the little girl who sells flowers.."

She whispered to herself.

After calling Betty and talking to the security guard at the door, she walked in slowly.

There were rows of villas.In fact, there was a reason why Betty lived here.

She wanted Christina to come and live with her, but she didn't convince Christina.

She had been here once and knew the way.

However, as she walked closer, Christina found a sneaky figure wandering in front of her aunt's house.

Christina stopped and looked at the short and fat middle-aged man in front of her with a surprised expression.

He was Derek's uncle, Larry.

Usually, Larry liked to wear a gold necklace, dressing like a nouveau riche.

But, today, he was dressed in a suit and took off all the gold necklaces.

On closer inspection, his big belly seemed to have lost a little weight.

It was a little funny to see such a large figure of a man carrying a large fruit basket and a few boxes of cubilose supplements, looking through the window as if he wanted to go in but didn't dare.

"What are you doing?" Christina walked over quickly and asked directly.

Larry seemed to be frightened by her.He suddenly turned around and explained in a panic when he saw her.

"I just passed by.I happened to pass by."

Christina's was expressionless.She asked him with her eyes fixed on the fruit basket and tonic in his hand.

"Pass by?" This is really not a good way to lie.

If it weren't for his dark and rough skin, Larry would have blushed.

Betty might have heard some noise outside.

She thought that it must be Christina, so she quickly opened the door and walked out.

As soon as Larry heard the sound of the door opening, he ran to Christina in panic and stuffed the fruit and supplements into her hands as if he had been stimulated.

And dropped a sentence, "It is from Derek.You, you and your auntie can eat together"

Then, he ran away without a trace.

Christina was a little stunned and looked at Larry's short and fat figure running away funnily.

"Who was that person running away?"

Betty was not a fool.She clearly heard aman's voice.

Christina looked down at the gift in her hand and stayed silent for a while.

She knew Derek well.

He would not do things like entrusting gifts to others.

..lt would be a pity to throw them away.

"Just a person asking for directions"

Christina said in a flat tone.She had learned to lie better recently.

As she spoke, she handed the fruit basket and gift box to Betty.

"Why bother to buy these things?"

Betty took it.

Although she was not interested in these gifts, she still showed a bright smile for her niece's gifts.

Christina looked at her, hesitated for a second, and finally chose to remain silent.

She used to be very arrogant and would expose everything directly, feeling that right was right and wrong was wrong.

But now, she could pretend not to know.

And for those white lies, she would choose to let time to explain…
