Shelly stared at Katie coldly and sarcastically.
After Katie said that, she was also a little embarrassed. She, too, knew that she had not raised Bella in all the years and was ashamed to say that she wanted Bella back now.
The two of them stood at the entrance for a while, with Shelly not responding to Katie. For one, she felt that Katie was not worth her time, and she even thought she had heard a joke.
Three years ago, Katie said she would leave the child to her. Yet, three years later, she wanted Bella back. There were no free lunches in this world.
"Shelly, I'm sorry. I know this might be unfair to you, but…" Katie mustered her courage and said when she saw that Shelly did not respond.
Shelly interrupted her, "You can save it. I won't agree."
Katie looked at Shelly in a daze.
With Bella in her arms, Shelly walked straight into the neighborhood. "Don't come looking for me again. I won't agree to it."
