My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 964

Jada raised her head and stared quietly at her daughter.

“Mom, why are you looking at me like that…?” Ruth was a little scared. “I didn‘t say anything wrong. She was being pretentious, completely unlike someone who has been living under someone else‘s roof…”

Ruth felt really guilty, but she remained stubborn. “It‘s not like I lied. Adeena did give birth to a child. Didn‘t you tell me this yourself?”

Jada slapped her.

“Mom, why did you slap me?!” Ruth cupped her face. “I only told Jack the truth. What did I do wrong? I grew up with Jack, but you made us break up! That‘s not all! You‘re going to stick Jack with someone‘s used goods, and I’m just kindly reminding him of that, can‘t I?”
