    Regardless, calling this woman “Mommy” still unsettled him.


    Now that Baber finally seemed to mature and was less afraid of her, Patricia’s smile became more


    genuine. “Of course, honey! But before I let you out, you have to answer some questions for Mommy. If


    you answer well, I’ll let you go, okay?”


    Baberplied, nodding his head slightly. “Okay.”


    Patricia’s lips curled up a bit as she started questioning him. “Baber, how has your time been with the


    nchets these past few years?”


    Baber thought for a moment, then answered. “Um… it’s been okay…”


    Upon hearing the word ‘okay,’ Patricia’s eyes immediately shed with annoyance. “What do you mean


    ‘okay’? Be more specific!”


    From Patricia’s reaction, Baber knew what she wanted to hear, so he answered ordingly. “Okay…


    just so-so… I had food and shelter at the nchets,


    but I could neverpare to their biological children. They treated me differently, and I never had the


    same things as them.”


    He hated lying, and inside he knew how well he had been treated by the nchets. Mommy treated


    him just as fairly as his siblings.


    Sure enough, this was the answer Patricia wanted, and her eyes instantly filled with sympathy. “Poor


    thing, having to humble yourself as an adopted child in their home must have been terrible. But you


    won’t have to anymore; Mommy’s back. From now on, you’ll live with Mommy, okay?”


    Baber nodded insincerely. “Okay.”


    Mommy always told him that a true man can bend and stretch. To see his real mom again, he could


    y along with this woman for a while. He had to.


    Patricia happily ruffled his hair. “Good boy! Mommy knew you wouldn’t betray her.”


    Baber grimaced. “Mom, can I go now? It’s really cold in here; I’m scared.”


    Patricia chuckled. “Don’t be scared! Mommy’s here. I still have a few questions to ask you.”


    Baberplied. “Oh… what questions?”


    A mischievous glint appeared in Patricia’s eyes. “Baber, while Mommy was gone these past years, how


    was the rtionship between that witch, Ellinor, and your dad?”

    Baber, who had already discovered a pattern in answering Patricia’s questions, shook his head. “Not


    good.”


    Patricia’s eyes lit up. “Really? Tell Mommy the details. Are they always arguing? Has their love faded?”


    Baber was a bit annoyed. It was hard to answer this question, even with lies, because his dad hadn’t


    been living at home these past years and had only returned a couple of days ago.


    But this scary woman didn’t seem to know.


    “Um… They argue a lot. Their rtionship isn’t good. They often ignore each other and just do their


    own thing.”


    Upon hearing Baber’s answer, Patricia burst outughing.


    Baber thought he had sessfully fooled her, but then Patricia’sughter suddenly turned to fury, and


    she viciously yanked his hair.


    “You’ve learned to lie, just like Ellinor! You think you can trick me?! I knew you couldn’t be trusted! How


    could that witch Ellinor have taught my child right?!”
