Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 34 Lifesaver

Immediately, my hand came to a halt as I panicked. Why would someone return at this hour? Wait a moment, why does it matter if someone is here? After all, this place used to be my home. I’m just here to take my own belongings. There’s nothing to be afraid of!

At that, I immediately zipped the bag shut and slung it over my shoulder before turning around to give her a cold glare. “Shut up. Who are you calling a thief? Shouldn’t it be you or your son?”

In a fit of rage, Coraline slammed the door where it connected against the wall with a loud thud.

She strode toward me and raised her hand to strike me. “You b*tch, I’ll make you eat your words!” she yelled furiously.

However, I anticipated her movements and dodged her hand when she attempted to hit me.

At that, Coraline nearly lost her footing when I moved away from her.

“I can’t be bothered to talk to scum like you anymore.” Now that I’ve taken what I needed, I don’t have to waste my time here anymore.

With that, I tightened my grip on my bag and made a move to leave. Yet, Coraline hindered my exit by clinging onto my bag stubbornly.

“Liliana, you should just spill the beans! Were you here to steal something? You aren’t allowed to leave until I check your bag!” Coraline insisted.

Due to Coraline’s meddlesome nature, I wasn’t surprised when she mentioned that she wanted to go through my bag.

I grasped onto my bad without any intentions of letting go. “Who do you think you are to check my bag? Your son hasn’t signed our divorce yet. Therefore, this is still my home! Don’t you dare forget that!” I snapped back.

Thus, we were both locked in a struggle over the bed.

“You b*tch, you hooked up with another man despite being engaged to my son! What happened to the other man? Did he abandon you too? Did you finally realize that this is your home?” Coraline sneered and said, “I wonder how your mom managed to raise such a b*tch. The two of you must be cut from the same cloth. Did she cheat on your dad too? Your entire family must be—”

“That’s enough! I’ll make you regret it if you say another word!” Rage swelled in my heart when I heard Coraline’s insults.
