Claudia Ross was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.
After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Auntie, you should go back and ask Mark. I have something to do and need to leave now. Goodbye!"
"Uh, don't rush off... Carol..."
No matter how Mother Reed called out, Claudia Ross turned a deaf ear and, with a determined look, continued walking forward with little An.
Little An looked up, blinked his eyes carefully, and asked, "Mommy, did I say something wrong?"
"You didn't say anything wrong. It's just that Mommy doesn't know what to say." Claudia Ross rubbed little An's head, struggling to force a smile.
She had already made the worst-case plan: if the Reeds opposed her marriage to Mark Reed because of little An, she would immediately take little An to America, never to return.
Claudia Ross took a deep breath to steady herself before fishing her phone out to make a call.
