Chapter 2407
You didn't support me either
Liam and Lita were both mature and intelligent, but the two brothers couldn't keep their child's innocence.
But Maxwell was different. She had no mother since she was a child, but Maxwell saw many people's feelings and helplessness beside her father, Zayn.
When Liam and Lita saw the people who had ulterior motives or dared to take advantage of them, they did not hesitate to fight back and ruin each other. However, Maxwell's situation did not allow him to do so, because the person in front of him who wanted to take advantage of him was his biological mother...
No matter how ruthless a person was, he couldn't go too far in front of his mother!
Therefore, Maxwell couldn't bear to expose Kate's thoughts in front of those guests just now because she wanted to save face for her mother!
"I..." Kate looked at her little face and looked at her son seriously. For a moment, she felt a little embarrassed. She bit her lips and argued, "What I said is true. Nia is your stepmother, and I am your biological mother. I gave birth to you after ten months of pregnancy. How can you treat your stepmother better than me, your biological mother? You can treat her well in front of Nia, but in front of me, in front of outsiders, you have to speak for me, your biological mother. Tell outsiders that what you value most is your biological mother!"
"You're my real mother." Maxwell's voice was tender, but her tone was mature. "But Nia is no worse than me. She loves me than Dad. I'm telling the truth. I will love her as if she's my real mother."
"Maxwell, you can't!" Kate was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
"I can!"
"Maxwell, you're just joking, aren't you?" Kate held his little shoulder and slowly squatted down. She looked at Maxwell's eyes in disbelief and said, "Tell me, did they force you to say that? In fact, you don't think so, do you? Why do you treat her as your biological mother? Do you still call her Nia? In the end, she can only be your stepmother for the rest of her life. You can only call her aunt, right?"
"It must be so. Her son will definitely treat Nia as his stepmother."
From the way they addressed each other, one could tell how distant they were from each
other.
Maxwell still called that woman aunt, which meant that Maxwell didn't treat her as a mother. It must be the Ali Enterprises who asked him to say so.
"No one forced me," Maxwell replied. She slowly lowered her eyes and continued, "Actually, I've already decided. Aunt Nia and Dad are getting married today. I'm going to change my mind. I'll call her mom in the future."
"What?" Kate suddenly widened her eyes, which were as big as eyeballs. She couldn't help roaring, "Are you lying to me? If you call her mother, then what did you call me?"
If an ordinary child heard his mother's roar, he would be so scared that he would not dare to speak.
In fact, Maxwell was also very shocked. From childhood to adulthood, the whole Ali Enterprises had never called him that Even the strictest father, Nia, would not shout at him like this.
However, in the face of Kate's uncontrollable emotions, Maxwell was surprisingly calm at the moment because he knew that this time, his attitude must be firm. He firmly told Kate that he liked this new mother of Nia very much.
And for him, Nia was a good mother.
"You're my mom." Maxwell replied to Kate's words. "I'm your mom."
"You call me mom, and call her mom?" Kate smiled in the face of this word less and less. "Why does Nia have the same name as me? Did she give birth to you?"
"But you didn't raise me either," Maxwell said.
"You..." Kate widened her eyes. She couldn't believe that such a gentle son would ask a question that pierced her heart. She immediately smiled and said, "Maxwell, it's not that I don't want to raise you. I was in prison at that time. I didn't have such conditions to raise you. Even if I wasn't in prison at that time, the Ali Enterprises wouldn't let me raise you
Then I'm taking care of my parents, great grandma, grandparents and father. They're all my parents, and I'm indebted to them for raising me up. I can't disobey then, Maxwell said. "Right now, great grandma and everyone else likes Nia very much. Everyone told me that Nia and father are married. I have to change my words. I can't be disobedient and don't change my mind, right? So..."
"So, are they forcing you to change your words?" Kate asked in a hurry.
"No, I don't think so. I think it's time for me to change my mind," Maxwell said, "Actually, I'm calling you Aunt Nia because I want to take care of your feelings..."
Kate looked at Maxwell, who was scheming and immediately understood what she meant. "So, you've changed your address to her mother, haven't you? When you saw me just now, you called her Nia in front of me in order not to make me angry?"
Maxwell paused for a moment before nodding.
He didn't comment!
"No." Kate shook her head, and her eyes were red and moist. "You can't accept that woman so soon. She married your father because she coveted the money of the Ali Enterprises and the position of the young mistress of the Ali Enterprises. She treats you well because she wants to marry into the Ali Enterprises. She has other purposes. She doesn't really love your father, nor does she really love you!"
Seeing that Maxwell didn't speak, Kate grabbed his shoulder and shook him. "Did you hear that? It's okay for your father and the others, but you can't be fooled by that woman!"
Maxwell looked at her quietly. "Then if Dad wasn't a member of the Ali Enterprises, not a member of the family, he was just an ordinary person. If he didn't have money, would Mom have taken a fancy to Dad?"
Kate became quiet. "..."
"Do you still want to compete with Dad to give birth to me?" Maxwell looked at her.
Kate pursed her lips and unconsciously tightened her fingers on Maxwell's shoulders.
Maxwell really wanted to hear Kate say that she would! However, Kate was stunned for a long time. Maxwell's face slowly lowered. He understood very well. "You have another purpose
Kate pulled the corners of her mouth and her hands trembled a little. "Maxwell, I'm your mother. You can't say that to me."
"Then why did you compete with Dad back then?" Maxwell looked up at her again.
"Of course it's because..." Kate blurted out, and then her mind went blank. She couldn't say anything at all. "Because..."
Perhaps it was because of her son's questioning, but she, who had always been good at arguing, couldn't find any reason right now. Facing Maxwell's clear and flawless eyes, she couldn't even lie.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she remembered that none of what she had done in the first half of her life was for love.
Born in the Bishop Family, as a daughter of a rich family, she had accepted her as a daughter of a rich family since she was a child. She climbed up step by step and lived a superior life. She didn't know if it was her father who taught her or her mother, Mrs. Bishop, who taught her. However, some of the young ladies around her seemed to be like this!
