Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

ALL at once, Marnie recalled what happened in the mall last time.
Those two girls wanted to file a complaint against her, and a woman came out to help the two girls.
Marnie was livid at that time. She had comforted herself with the fact that after she became Sergio’s wife, she would find out
about the identity of that woman and teach her a lesson.
But now, that same woman was here in the Blakely family.
Just as Marnie was engrossed in speculating about Claire’s identity, Sergio took her hand, leading her forward. “Dad, mom, this
is Marnie.”
Caught off guard, Marnie’s head buzzed with a flurry of thoughts, and her face paled. She managed to utter awkwardly, “Hi.”
Her nerves were evident, and she desperately hoped that Claire didn’t recognize her. She never expected Claire to be Sergio’s
mother.
While Claire conversed with Sabrina, she spared a fleeting glance at Marnie with an indifferent air before resuming her
conversation.
Marnie’s heart skipped a beat, and she discreetly observed Sabrina, feeling a pang of distress.
It was apparent that Claire neither liked nor respected her in front of others.
This was the first time she had come to this place. Yet, she was treated coldly. She thought that no one would think highly of her
in the future.

Hoping for support, Marnie glanced at Sergio, wondering if he would intervene and say something on her behalf.
However, Sergio, to her dismay, ignored her and simply pulled her to sit on the sofa.
Sabrina observed Marnie’s timid demeanor and suddenly felt a little lucky. Although she was once married, Tyrone’s parents had
passed away. Kira had been abroad all year round. Sabrina had never had problems between her and her parents-in-law.
Claire had always been kind to Sabrina, but when Claire was with Marnie, it was like she drastically transformed into an evil
mother-in-law.
Claire could ignore Marnie since she was Sergio’s mother. But Sabrina wasn’t in the right position to complain about Marnie.
Besides, Marnie took the time to come and see her off, so she couldn’t ignore Marnie.
Therefore, during their conversation, Sabrina attempted to engage Marnie from time to time, but Marnie, overwhelmed by
embarrassment, offered minimal responses.
At lunch, Marnie plucked up the courage to serve food to Claire. But Claire maintained an impressive expression toward Marnie
and refrained from touching the food Marnie served.
Marnie’s face turned pale.
Sabrina contemplated the situation, realizing that if Tyrone hadn’t been Elijah’s son, she could easily have found herself in
Marnie’s painful predicament with Kira as her mother-in-law.
After lunch, Sergio drove Marnie back home.
Marnie didn’t want to stay here any longer. She wore a dark expression as she got into the car, maintaining a stony silence.

Sergio, breaking the silence, reminded her, “Fasten your seat belt.”
“No. I’d be better off in a car accident and killing the baby,”
