Watching them being so sickeningly sweet, I felt goosebumps all over my body. Suppressing my disgust, I refused:

“Thank you for your kind offer, but I really like my current job.”
With that, I ignored Marcus’s grim face, hugged my daughter, and walked straight out.
These two lunatics. If I can’t deal with them, I can at least avoid them, right?
Behind me, I heard the sound of things smashing, mixed with Marcus’s furious roar:
“Aurora Hayes, are you really that useless? You’re still a complete failure, aren’t you? And you still think you can remarry me? No way!”
I slammed the door shut.

My phone was shattered, so I had no choice but to find a shady spot to rest with my daughter.

She nodded vigorously, and her expression made me kiss her little cheek again.
The weather was getting hotter. I told my daughter to sit quietly here and wait while I went to get some water.
But when I came back with the water, I suddenly heard my daughter crying loudly, “Mommy, help me! Let go of me!”
The sight before my eyes broke my heart.
Vanessa was clutching my daughter by the neck, slamming her onto the ground.
Seeing this, my rage erupted. All reason vanished.
I lunged forward and slapped Vanessa hard across the face.
Just as I snatched Lily from her grasp,
Marcus rushed over.
Vanessa was already crying uncontrollably, snot and tears running down her face as she threw herself into his arms. “Marcus, I saw her alone there and just wanted to be nice and keep her company. But then this child suddenly bit me! I only said a few words to her, and Sister Aurora rushed over and hit me!”
Marcus looked at the red mark on her face and the teeth marks on her hand. His face instantly turned cold, his eyes blazing with fury.
“Aurora Hayes, how dare you lay a hand on my woman?! You truly don’t respect me!”
