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.”

“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
