"Dad, I didn't marry Wesley because I loved him. I might have liked him a little, but it was more so because I was moved. He had done so much for me, so I wanted to give him happiness. I thought he was worthy of my dependence."
Catherine bowed her head bitterly. "Only recently did I realize that I might not understand him very well. I often feel tired and stressed when I'm with him. Of course, it’s also because I have great responsibilities."
Joel sighed deeply. He had also married a woman he did not love, so he understood her feelings well. 1
"Fine, do what you want. I’m willing to support you unconditionally. Even if you remain unmarried and stay at home for life, I won’t dislike you. Besides, a man who would raise a hand against a woman is not a good man.”
Joel was the protective kind. He used to like Wesley before, but since Wesley had hit his daughter, he no longer liked him.
He did not care if his daughter had done something wrong. In any case, his daughter should be treated like a treasure. No one could bully her.
"Thank you, Dad." Catherine was sincerely grateful."
But I hope that you won’t intervene in this matter. I'll slowly solve it with Wesley."
"Alright, I promise."
The two little children hiding in front of the door immediately sneaked back into the playroom when they heard footsteps walking out.
Their eyes were wide open. Lucas' eyes were filled with endless anger and disbelief. "I didn't expect that Mommy’s cheek was swollen because Uncle Wesley hit her."
"Bah, he doesn’t deserve to be called 'Uncle' at all." Suzie was furious. "He hit Mommy. I don't like him anymore. I hate him."
"Me too." Lucas clenched his small fists. Although he used to respect Wesley very much, his Mommy was the one person who should not be touched. For the first time, he deeply hated himself for being weak and unable to protect Mommy.
When he thought of how he set up Mommy and Wesley before, he felt upset.
Someone like Wesley was not worthy of Mommy at all.
Shaun was also unworthy.
