Chapter 1853 Rotten Apple
“Mom!” Lucius yelled across the distance.
Looking up, Selena saw Delh and Lucius standing by the entrance of the supermarket.
“Hey, you’re both here,” Selena yelled back excitedly.
Before, Selena wanted to take Lucius as her godson. In the beginning, he had also called her his
godmother, butter on, they realized that he didn’t have a biological mother anyway. Hence, he
switched to calling her “mom” instead.
Delh was initially worried that it would affect Selena’s future, especially her marriage. However,
Selena didn’t seem to mind at all.
“Whoa, Selena. You already have a son at such a young age?” A newly appointed supervisor, Freya
Brooks, gave her the side-eye and deliberately passed a remark.
Freya had disliked Selena since the first day she started working here. It wasn’t because Selena had
offended her, but because she was jealous of thetter for being too outstanding.
“Yes. This is my son.” Selena smiled awkwardly.
“Then what does your husband do for a living?” probed Freya.
Why have I never heard about Selena being married?
“Uhm, I’m not married.” Selena maintained the smile on her face.
As though she had just received great news, Freya strutted away with a gleeful smile.
“Mom, who was that? Did she bully you?” Lucius stared after the other woman with a solemn
expression.
“No. I’m fine. How was school today, Lucius? Were you a good boy?” Selena gently caressed the boy’s
head.
That day was Lucius’ first day in school. Because of work, Selena couldn’t send him to school.
“It was great, Mom. Don’t worry. I’m your son, after all!” Lucius patted his chest in a manly way.
“Hey, have you heard? It turns out that Selena has a son! It’s true. And she’s not even married yet. My
God, how can there be such a woman working in our supermarket? She has no self-respect
whatsoever. What an embarrassment…”
Freya scorned her in front of the other department leaders, making sure to add in some exaggerated
Vige folks were rtively more conservative and traditional-minded. Hence, they took a woman’s
chastity and marriage very seriously.
Rumors and gossip would undoubtedly circte the vige when they heard that Selena was
unmarried, yet had a child. However, when everyone found out that the child was Lucius, they were
humbled by Selena’s courage.
“Ahh, Lucius is Selena’s godson,” one of the department leaders rified.
Freya was dumbfounded for a good few seconds.
Wait. But I clearly heard that boy calling her “Mom”!
Lucius used to call Selena “Aunt Selena”, but he had never once met his birth mother before, so
Selena told him to call just her “Mom” instead. Another leader exined this to Freya.
Seeing the two department leaders speaking on behalf of Selena, Freya suddenly felt rather humiliated.
It seems like the department leaders hold that woman in high regard!
A cold light shed across Freya’s eyes.
But why? She’s just a worthless cashier. What did she do to deserve everyone’s respect and affection?
Freya emanated a bitingly cold aura.
Regardless of the era and location, the most outstanding woman would always evoke the jealousy of
others. This was the truth that could never be altered. Even in a vige where folks led simple lives,
there would always be a rotten apple that spoiled the whole barrel.
Selena Young, just how pretentious are you that you managed to fool an entire vige full of people! I’ll
definitely force you to show your true colors!
Freya balled her fists together in anger.
At home, Selena bent over slightly with a pained expression. “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you tired?”
Seeing her having trouble walking, Lucius quickly went over to support her.
Selena wondered why she was suddenly ordered to unload the goods in the supermarket that day,
seeing as it wasn’t within her job scope at all.
“It’s okay. I’ll be fine after I rest for a while.” Selena stroked the boy’s hair.
“What’s wrong?” Delh hurried over to ask.
