Chapter 32
Brian started the engine and was about to drive out when he suddenly stepped on the brakes.
He and I saw a person suddenly jump out in front of the car at the same time.
If Brian hadn’t reacted quickly, we would have hit him.

Brian was still in shock. “This kid is so reckless. If I didn’t stop,
we would be finished.”
I didn’t say anything, quickly unbuckled my seat belt, and got
out of the car.
In the dark, I couldn’t see the kid’s appearance clearly, but I recognized him at once by his body shape.
It was Ethan.
“Ethan!” I angrily grabbed his collar and pulled him aside, resisting the urge to slap him. “What are you doing?”
Ethan raised his head. He was getting thinner and thinner.
His former nobility and pride disappeared completely.
He gave me a weird smile and said in a provocative tone, “Don’t you understand? I was waiting for you to hit me. So that I can tell people on the Internet that you abused me, and you wished I would die to shut me up.”
My heart felt like it fell into hot oil, and I felt very uncomfortable.
I really didn’t have any hope for Ethan.
But I didn’t want to end up in such a confrontation with my son whom I had loved for so many years.
I couldn’t hate him either.
I couldn’t hide my sadness, and my voice trembled. “Why? You hate me, so I will never appear in front of you again. I have been your mom for at least ten years. Don’t you want to leave us a little dignity in the end?”
“Mom?” Ethan suddenly went crazy. He broke free from my hand and pushed me hard.
His eyes flashed with madness and hatred.
“You don’t love me at all!
“You were nice to me before just to get Dad’s attention.
“How else can you explain that you ignored me after the divorce?
“You are my mom. But you don’t care about my feelings at all!
“Sienna is really not good to me. She abused me. But even so, she at least told Dad that my mental state was not right and asked Dad to take me to see a doctor.
“But what about you? You obviously noticed and saw me in a mess, but you didn’t say anything.
Chapter 32
“Your love for me before was all fake.”

He became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and finally, his tone turned into a regretful cry. “You asked him to brake, and you got out of the car to look at me. Does that mean that you still love me?”
He cried more and more sadly, like a trapped animal that was desperate and aggrieved.
I supported Ethan’s body and touched his little face.
I gently wiped away his tears.
Ethan paused and raised his head in disbelief.
But what he saw was my expressionless face.
“Ethan, you are right. I don’t love you.
“I really don’t love you now, and I don’t even have a little feeling of liking you.
“But I was really good to you before.
“I don’t want to explain anything. I’m just glad that I left you earlier.
“You gave up on me first, so don’t blame me for being cruel
now.”
After saying that, I let go of my hand and let Ethan fall to the ground.
“Drive.”
The car drove far away, and I could still see Ethan chasing me in the rear–view mirror.
He was stumbling, and his face was full of tears.
He shouted miserably, “Mom! Mom!”
