"No, Mom is so boring! She ignores us all and never plays with us!"
"Yes! Mom is boring! She doesn't even cook as well as Aunty!"
"Un! I don't want to eat cheerios everyday! Mom can't cook!"
The boys' words only put Chloe in an awkward spot. Because they made it as if Chloe was a better mother figure than their real mother, and she didn't want that.
After all, Chloe knew the struggle of motherhood. She was already busy just taking care of one daughter, so she still had respect for Chelsea. Chelsea had to take care of four sons without the help of a babysitter and still had to work as a teacher at an elementary school every weekday.
Despite all of Chelsea's animosity and ill intention toward her, Chloe still saw Chelsea as her sister. Also, Chloe respected her for all her efforts to keep her family intact, which Chloe failed to do with Vincent.
