“Every couple has fights. Today’s your engagement. Don’t make a scene.”
“Marriage is about daily life—bills, groceries. Learn to compromise, and things will be fine.”
Emily inherited my stubborn streak but not my sharp tongue.
Her tears fell uncontrollably, leaving her sobbing too hard to make sense.
I shoved through the crowd and stood before Daniel.
Smack!
The banquet hall fell dead silent.
Daniel clutched his face, eyes wide.
I swept a cold gaze around before fixing it back on him. “If you’re all so open-minded, then let your own sons-in-law fool around with their female buddies. Don’t you dare stop them.”
The sound of people gasping filled the room.
Daniel’s face burned under the weight of their stares.
Rachel suddenly rushed in.
Under everyone’s shocked eyes, she slapped Daniel hard.
“It’s all your fault. I told you not to joke around, but you never listen. Now both Ma’am and Emily think the worst.”
“We’re done. From now on, we’re strangers.”
Daniel looked wronged. “Rachel, do you really have to go this far?”
Rachel glanced at Emily. “What else can I do? Everyone already thinks I’m some homewrecker.”
