The moment she met Holden's eyes, Holden coldly asked, "Are you done with your theatrics?"

“Forgive me for what I did, Holden. It wasn't my intention to spew those words. I simply lost control of myself for a moment due to how sad I was. I just don't want Adele to not have a father," Sadie said sorrowfully.

However, the cold look on Holden's face didn't decrease in intensity at all. He began to pat Adele's back to comfort her and retorted through gritted teeth, “Who said that would happen? If you had any iota of love for your child, you would have been more careful of the words that come out of that mouth of yours. If you know what's best for you, change your behavior and try to think twice before you say something."

Stunned by the harshness of Holden's words, Sadie cowered and clenched her teeth, unable to think of anything to say.

Holden sneered at her and continued, "Just know that trying to use Adele as a tool to achieve your goal is nothing short of useless."
