Rex was beyond flabbergasted. He just sat there at a loss, not knowing how to react. He just couldn’t believe that his mother hated him so much because of their father. What about Piper then? Rex ignored his injury that was starting to take effect and asked. (1

“… And Piper? She isn’t my dad’s daughter. Why do you hate her too?” He was curious and wanted to know everything that happened to this bitter woman.

At three, he was already rebellious and couldn’t hide his hatred for me.” She picked up the framed picture again and continued. “There was a time he caught me staring at a picture of Vance and me kissing, that cursed child grabbed the picture, ran out of the house, and destroyed it! My failed attempt to run after him made me fall down the stairs and that was when I realized I was pregnant with you.” She looked at Rex with hatred.
