Chapter 2174: Chapter 2174

Molly heard Skye Brown’s words.

At first, she furrowed her attractive brows, seeming to understand yet not completely.

Then, she sniffled her little nose.

Next, her small mouth pouted, quivering slightly.

She stared blankly at Skye Brown for quite a long time without speaking or making a sound, even her sobbing ceased.

Just as Skye Brown was wondering if Molly Wellington might be overwhelmed?

Could it be that she had explained things too easily, too quickly, making it hard for her to accept all at once?

Seeing the tear marks still hanging at the corners of Molly’s eyes, a deep pain pierced Skye’s heart.

It was her fault; she was still too reckless. She shouldn’t have rushed to clarify things with Dylan Wellington by revealing the truth to Molly.

She’s still too young; she simply can’t accept this fact.

Just as Skye Brown was attempting to find words to say something that could help Molly Wellington calm down a bit...

The little lad who continually had tears hanging from the corners of his eyes suddenly let out a loud cry.

"Waah waaah wah wah... Mom... annoying Mom..."

When that tearful voice mixed with grievance escaped Molly Wellington’s mouth, Skye Brown’s entire heart felt like it shattered.

Indeed, her daughter disliked her.

She certainly couldn’t accept it—

Molly is so sensitive, lacking a sense of security. No matter how outwardly strong and domineering she may seem, ultimately, she is just a little girl who is only a few years old.

All her fussing and commotion was just an attempt to get more attention from the adults.

And the reason she needs attention is because she lacks love.

She lacks the most important and indispensable maternal love.

Deep regret, self-reproach, and blame almost tore Skye Brown’s heart apart, crushing it, violently pounding it together.

Especially hearing her daughter say she hated her, that sentence almost froze the blood in her veins.

Skye Brown’s hands remained suspended as she was poised to hug Molly Wellington.

But her arms stiffened and hung there, no longer daring to reach forward.

However, the next moment, the little lad who was originally crying and shouting that he disliked her, actively leaned over to hug Skye Brown’s neck.

Molly was still crying, but she smeared her tears and snot all over Skye Brown’s collar.

"Annoying, annoying Mom... annoying Mom left Molly all alone. Other children have moms, Lulu and Yana have such pretty moms like Auntie Lily, but Molly has none. Did Molly do something wrong, was she disobedient, is that why Mom doesn’t want Molly..."

"Will Molly be good, okay? From now on, Molly will be obedient and promise not to be picky with food, not to linger in bed, not to bully other kids... Molly will listen to Mom from now on, Molly will always be good, please, Mom, don’t leave Molly again!"

The tearful Molly Wellington no longer cared about whether her snot and tears would stain Skye Brown’s collar.

This was her mom, her real mom.

The mom she hugged and didn’t want to let go.

Even with her beloved ’Skye’s Mom,’ Molly Wellington would always mind her manners, not letting her nose or tears dirty ’Skye’s Mom.’

But once she learned that Skye was her biological mother, the crying Molly Wellington no longer cared about such so-called manners.

Perhaps this is the difference between a real mom and outsiders.

"Okay, okay... Mom won’t go, Mom will never leave Molly. Mom is bad, Mom is a villain, Mom wronged Molly. Sweet Molly, Mom will always love you, always be with you... Mom promises..."

The equally red-eyed Skye gently yet firmly cradled Molly’s head in her arms.

Her Molly, her poor Molly.

Once she held her hand tightly, she could never let go again.
