The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 204

Alessia sternly said, "Can you please stop blaming everything on young people? Do you think we can't take care of ourselves without you? I think you're way too nosy. It's my kid, and how I raise it is my business. If you wanna meddle, go bother your son Evan instead."

"How could you speak to me like that?" Dana replied, looking hurt. "Everyone, listen to this. I work my butt off looking after the child, and now I'm the bad guy."

With that, Dana's eyes welled up with tears. Dana's words quickly stirred up accusations against Alessia from those around them.

"Dana's getting on in years. Cut her some slack."

"Yeah, I often see Dana taking the kid for a walk. She's really attentive."

"You should be thankful for having such a great mother-in-law."

"You gotta put yourself in other people's shoes."

Alessia was pissed off and on the verge of tears. Anastasia quickly stepped in, "Alessia, I can't find the exit of this community, could you show me the way?"

Anastasia had to pull Alessia away, otherwise, it would only hurt Alessia more.

The argument would only escalate. Dana often hung out with these neighbors and had a good relationship with them. They must have received a bad impression of Alessia from Dana's rants. Arguing further would be pointless.

Alessia retorted, "When you badmouth me in public, you're not just embarrassing me, but also your son Evan."

She then left with her child to show Anastasia the way out. But Anastasia didn't leave immediately. She comforted Alessia for a while at the community gate.
