Nadia put on an innocent look. "I didn’t say anything."
I looked sideways at Munchkin, then sternly back at her. "If you said anything that causes any harm to my child, I'll not let you off that easily."
"You think too badly of me, Wanda."
Nadia looked aggrieved. "I'm not so bad as to hurt a child. Besides, Munchkin is so adorable. Who would have the heart to hurt him? Can you stop being so sensitive?”
"I don't believe you," I said, my voice slightly cold. "For the sake of your safety, please stay away from my son from now on."
Nadia's expression sank. "If he’s your child, then it makes sense why you're so worried, but he's not yours, so is it true what the rumors say? That you hold him s o precious because Mr. Grant is infertile?"
I could not stand it anymore and slapped her, striking with as much strength as I possibly could. "If you can't choose your words wisely, then just slice off your tongue or you won't even know how you end up dead one day."
Nadia covered her face and widened her eyes to glare a t me. "How dare you hit-"
"You'd better stop messing around." I interrupted her with a cold voice. "I'm sure you don’t want Mason to see you throwing a big fuss in public, do you?"
"You!" Nadia was exasperated.
Perhaps she could not bring herself to stomach this insult, she gritted her teeth and said, "Looks like the rumors are true. Both of you are infertile."
I gritted my teeth and grabbed her hand. "I can tolerate your behavior once or twice but not the third and fourth time. I'll make you pay the price for all the nonsense you said."
Although neither Nadia nor me wanted to make a big deal out of this, we were standing outside the private room. Hence, our argument was bound to be heard.
