Chapter 210: Chapter 210

Kendra squatted and asked Timothy, “Little boy, you haven’t told me. What’s your name? How old are you?”

Timothy looked at Kendra before replying, “My name is Timothy Ryker. I’m four years old.

“Where is your home? What are your parent’s names?”

Timothy did not want to mention Abel, let alone admit that he was Alana’s child. After thinking about it, he lowered his head and answered, “My mommy is Emmeline Louise.”

“Emmeline… Louise?” Kendra frowned, then asked, “Do you have any siblings?”

Timothy shook his head.

“Only you?”

Timothy nodded.

“What…”

Kendra froze as if she had thought of a terrible thing.

“Hey, this kid isn’t stupid!” Ella became happy again. “That’s good!”

Kendra said coldly, “Mom, he’s a poor boy. Don’t try to do something bad!”

“Don’t think me wrongly!” Ella beamed. “I just think we can ask his parents for some remuneration.”

“I don’t want to go home!” Timothy yelled, “Don’t send me to Daddy! I don’t want to!”

Kendra comforted him, “Calm down. I didn’t say I would send you to your father. After you think about it, I’ll follow your decision, okay?

Timothy nodded. “Thank you, Auntie.”

“Are you hungry? Want me to make something for you?”

Timothy looked at Kendra and nodded.

Ella’s expression was sullen. “But we have nothing extra for him. You’ve spent all the living expenses my son gave you.”

“Mom, how can you say that?” Kendra’s eyes were reddish. “You know how much living expenses your son gives me. I have to give you money for playing cards, take care of the family’s expenses, and the baby’s milk powder. Not to mention that I didn’t buy anything. Even if it’s just for household use, the money isn’t enough!”

“Then you can return to Brookwater Wellness Center to be a nurse! Why did you marry my son? I’m looking forward to having a grandson, but you gave birth to a girl! You have no reason to complain!”

Kendra’s expression darkened, and she did not answer.

“You also know that the Brookwater Wellness Center is over. There was a murder case, and the center was closed. You have no place to earn money, right?”

Ella scolded coldly, “Then stay home to care for your child, do the housework, and serve me! Your daughter doesn’t need to drink milk. Just make her some cereal!”

“But I’m working as a part-time worker. I don’t eat and drink for free. I can earn my daughter’s milk powder by myself!”

“How much money can you earn? Buy milk powder? It’s not even enough for me to play cards!”

Timothy was listening. Although he did not understand what Ella and Kendra were arguing about, he felt annoyed. It was not a place where he could stay.

So, Timothy turned around and wanted to leave “Wait!” Ella grabbed him. “Did I let you go?”

Timothy almost fell when Ella pulled him. He immediately cried aggrievedly.

“Mom, what are you doing?” Kendra pulled Timothy over. “Don’t scare him!”

“I didn’t!” Ella said, “It’s dark outside and dangerous for him to go out.”

She pulled Timothy from Kendra’s arms and said, “I can afford your meal. You stay here for now.”

“Mom.” Kendra frowned. “I told you not to think something bad. If you lose in cards, I can give you the money. I haven’t bought the baby’s milk powder, and there’re two hundred dollars. You take it first. Don’t scare Timothy.”

“You still have two hundred dollars?” Ella’s eyes sparkled. “Why didn’t you say it earlier? Give me quickly! I want to play cards!”

Kendra sighed and took out two hundred dollars from her wallet.

Ella snatched it away, opened the door, and left.

Timothy looked at Kendra and asked, “Auntie, did I bother you?”
