Chapter 53
Hidden Meanings Matthew and Grace wanted to reprimand Melanie, but Henry impatiently said, “All right, let’s eat!” His attitude didn’t surprise me.
After all, he had excessively indulged his daughter and never denied her anything.
I knew he was aiming his impatience at me.
Ava shivered from Henry’s shout and dropped her spoon with a clang.
The sound snapped me out of my thoughts, and I repressed my anger before picking up the spoon and giving her a new one.
Afterward, I looked at Melanie and asked, “Are you saying I’m an incompatible factor in this family? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have said that.
Let’s see what the rest of us think.” Matthew’s expression grew grave, and he patted my shoulder.
“Don’t listen to her nonsense.
Let’s eat.” Grace also hurried to mediate.
“We’re family, so don’t nitpick at words.
That’s what Mel is like.
She’s just one to hold onto old grudges.” I’ve never taken Melanie’s words to heart.
Still, that doesn’t mean she does either, right? I’ve never considered whether or not I’m an outsider here.
I’m just Matthew’s wife, brought into the family through marriage- “So what? Divorcees are plenty,” Melanie rolled her eyes, interrupting me.
i was puzzled and looked at Matthew, my expression darkening.
I cursed inwardly.
What the hell?! “Shut your mouth!” Matthew scolded Melanie.
“You’re not wrong.
Maybe your brother will grow tired of me one day.
Only then can you call me an outsider.
Unlike you, who will always be a part of this family.
However, even if your brother wants a divorce, he probably hasn’t decided yet.
Why are you so anxious?” I glared daggers at Melanie and saw Matthew’s expression worsening.
He also glared at Melanie, scolding her.
“What do you mean? I won’t get a divorce! Mel, don’t believe everything you hear.” I I smirked and raised an eyebrow at Melanie “Even if your brother doesn’t want me, you can’t claim the Uitle of Mrs.
Murphy.” You Past actions speak louder than words.
I don’t need to explain it.
The truth will come out in time.
I also don’t want to stoop as low as you.
Everyone present knows our history.
No need for me to feign ignorance like you” My words carried hidden meanings, hinting at Matthew’s parents +15 BONUS I couldn’t keep some things unsaid.
Even though I didn’t have the upper hand in the current situation, 1 couldn’t afford to lose.
“Why didn’t you call me when you went to the hospital?” Matthew suddenly asked.
“Do you believe everything she says? You’ve spoiled her!” Melanie retorted.
“I’m still his wife.
Who should he spoil if not me? Doesn’t he spoil you too?” I took out my diagnosis from my bag and placed it before Matthew, “Why didn’t I call you? You were busy having lunch.” Matthew paled, and his eyes flickered for a moment.
Ava quietly reached under the table and tugged at my shirt.
She said timidly, “Mom, let’s go home.” “All right, baby.” I stood up and carried Ava with me as we walked out.
“Honey…” I breathed in the fresh air as we left the residence.
I couldn’t help but sigh and vow that they would pay for their words Matthew caught up and took Ava from me, saying, “Honey, don’t be mad.” “I’m not.
Do I look mad?” I smiled faintly and looked at Ava.
“Let’s go home.” After Ava fell asleep that night, Matthew pulled me close.
“Does it still hurt? Do you still feel sick? Is that why you’ve been vomiting lately? I’m sorry for not being there for you, honey.
I had a business lunch today.
Please call me next time.
You’re the most important person to me.” I was speechless, sighing inwardly. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
