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?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI’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

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.

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.
That night, I couldn’t stop thinking about Lauren Burton
