The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chatper 671

Chapter 671

Lately, she couldn’t even be bothered to look after Baber, leaving him in the care of a nanny

In fact, she also lost interest in taking care of the children. Before, Baber still has some value. He was her excuse to

keep Theo around, a sort of lifeline to him

But now, the situation had changed. Theo found out the kid Ellinor was carrying was his, and clearly, he’d lost any

concern for the kid he didn’t share any blood with.

So, Baber was basically useless to her now.

Patricia had never loved the kid. Aside from exploiting him, she had no feelings for him.

The warmth she used to show the child was only meant to impress Theo and made him think she was a good

mother. When no one was looking, she couldn’t be bothered to keep up the act.

Now, Patricia was in a lousy mood. Seeing this kid she could no longer use only pissed her off more.

When Baber came over for a hug. Patricia was anything but gentle. She irritably shoved the toddling Baber away.

“Beat it! Get lost! All you do is eat and cry, it’s annoying!”

Baber fell to the floor, staring blankly at his ‘mom, then started crying.

Patricia found the kid’s crying irritating. She reached out to pinch Baber, venting her anger.

“Cry, cry, cry! Is that all you do? I’m paying people to look after you, what do you have to cry about?

Let me tell you, if I hadn’t adopted you, you’d probably still be in that poor, penniless orphanage. Would you even

have food to eat?

You should be thanking me, not crying all the damn time!

Enough! Stop crying, or I’ll smack you! Are you going to stop crying or not?”

Patricia scolded Baber as she pinched him, taking out her frustrations on him.

But Baber had no idea what he’d done wrong. All he felt was pain, so he cried even harder.

The harder Baber cried, the harder Patricia pinched.

Truth is, this wasn’t the first time Patricia had taken her frustrations out on Baber like this. Whenever she was in a

bad mood, she’d take it out on Baber, even pricking him with a needle at times.

Of course, she’d only do this when no one else was around.

Baber was insecure and clueless about how the world worked. He thought everything his ‘mom’ did was normal, so

he’d still cling to Patricia and call her ‘mom after crying.

“Why is the kid crying? What happened?” Balfour heard the kid’s loud crying and immediately barged in.

But Patricia’s hand was still firmly clenched around the kid.
