Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 556

Marie's hand trembled at Hanley's words, and her gaze hardened as she stared at him.

Victoria was so angry she could have burst.

"Hanley, what are you talking about? I told you to thank your auntie, what is this nonsense? 'If she wasn't her parents' child'? Your auntie *is* her parents' child, the young lady of the Ward family. What are you babbling about?"

Hanley said frantically, "I'm not babbling, I'm telling the truth. Auntie, she's not…"

Marie instinctively cut him off, a smile on her face but a fierce look in her eyes.

"Hanley, you must have read that in a picture book, right? You know the stories in those books aren't real. They're made up for kids."

Turning to Victoria, Marie added, "It's fine. Hanley probably just read a sad story. Kids always ask the strangest questions. Let's all eat."

"Exactly. What have they been teaching him at that preschool? I'm going to have a word with his teacher."

"That's not it."

Hanley tried to explain again, but Marie stopped him once more.

"Hanley, eat your food. You need to eat more, you've gotten so thin lately."

Marie's smile didn't reach her eyes. Victoria chimed in, "That's right, Hanley has lost weight."

Marie then asked Victoria, "Is Darren still not coming over?"

"He's… still at the hotel."

The mention of Darren gave Victoria a headache. Why couldn't they all just live at the Ward residence? He had to be so stubborn.

"Darren staying in a hotel isn't a long-term solution. He should move in with us. Even though Terence and Natalie are attacking us, at least we have the Ward Group to give us a safe place. Sometimes I worry… what if the Ward family can't withstand their schemes? What would happen to me and all of you?"
