Tessa suddenly shuddered when she heard that voice behind her. Tessa and Zayn both turned around at the same time. As expected, Zayn saw that woman from a few days ago. That was the same woman that the little child, Aino, wanted to introduce to her uncle to be his girlfriend. The woman was still wearing the same clothes as a few days ago, and she still had a very deep vertical wrinkle in between her eyebrows.
"It’s you?” Zayn knowingly asked.
However, the woman did not look at Zayn, but she looked at Tessa instead. "Tessa, he is older than you. H e is so much older than you. You are not suitable for each other. Tessa, can't you date normally?"
At that moment, Tessa's face was completely flustered. She gritted her teeth and stared at the woman with both her eyes reddened with rage. "You...g o to hell! Go to hell! To hell! I feel so disgusted! Why don't you go to hell!"
Tessa was outraged. She did not care about her image at all. She never expected that not only would Hana normally call her, but she actually came to the entrance of the company today.
Seeing her daughter chase her away like that, Hana was not angry at all. She just looked anxiously at Tessa. “Tessa, I will not harm you. You are my only daughter. I would not harm you even if my life is at
stake. You can’t walk the same path as I did. Look at what happened to me. How miserable am I? You're only twenty-two years old. This old man is in his thirties. You can’t outsmart him. You will be fooled by him! Tessa!”
The anxiousness in the woman’s tone was clear as day. Even Zayn could not bear to blame such a mother when he saw it. Although the woman kept calling him an old man, without knowing the reason, Zayn was deeply moved when he saw the woman speak. He immediately felt the difficulty the woman had as a mother. He felt the anxiety, and also the concern and care the mother had towards her child.
Was it because of Aino? Was it because he had once witnessed how Sabrina gave birth to Aino, how she had to go to work without resting for a month, and how difficult it was? Zayn did not know. He also did not have the time to think in detail. He just looked at the woman in front of him with the same frown.
The woman reached out her hand to touch Tessa’s face, but Tessa slapped her hand away. Even then, Tessa's hate was still unresolved. She even violently pushed the woman away. "Hana, you shameless woman! You truly are the most shameless woman in the world that I've ever met. Why do you deserve to live? You have created my dad's feelings, money, and everything, but you left my dad with a child! Now that my dad has a little wealth, and that you're already old and grey, you want to return again? How can you be this unashamed? It was you who gave birth to me! But this was my lifelong shame, shame! Why don't you go t o hell? I am going insane soon being tortured by you. Hana Sharpe, listen to me carefully! I will get the best lawyer in the entire South City and take you to court even if I go bankrupt! I must make you get lost! I want you to lose everything! I want to make you never acknowledge me in this life! Go to hell! D*mned woman!"
Her voice was sharp when cursing. That voice and action were more Ruth than Ruth herself. Zayn recently had been in contact with Ruth so he knew that Ruth's personality was a little shrewish. However, at that moment, Ruth was nothing compared to Tessa.
The woman, who had fallen on the ground after being pushed by Tessa, was depressed as the falling leaves i n the wind. She looked at Tessa in tears.
"Tessa...I...it's all for your own good. It will be too late for you to regret it when you've ended up like me," said the woman patiently.
"You're not my mother. You're not my mother. You're not! No!" Tessa simply kicked the woman like a madwoman.
Zayn called out to stop her. "Tessa!"
