As soon as she said this, everyone looked at me with disgust. Especially Elder Maris, her face turned red with anger. She said sternly, "Anyway, once we complete the coming-of-age ritual this time, Aiden can be independent. My son, bring Aiden here right now, and don't let him meet this irresponsible woman again. Don't let her ruin my precious grandson."
Cresia also glared at me. "Knowing that Aiden was saddened about the ritual, Serena specially cooked his favorite dish. Compared to a petty woman like you, Serena is more like Aiden's mother."
Over the years, I had worked tirelessly without complaint for Aiden. I gave everything unconditionally, but to the Darkwood Pack and to Rylan's family, everything I did couldn't compare to Serena's dish. They actually thought that Serena, the reason why my mate chose to leave that day, was more suitable to be his mother than me.
Ironic.
How ironic.
I laughed, and my laughter was filled with tears.
