My smile faded. I nodded slowly. “You’re right. I won’t do that anymore.”

My father-in-law’s face was red with fury. He pointed at Morgana and roared, “Why are you yelling at Nash? He didn’t say a word to me! I was the one who chose not to recognize you as my daughter!”

“Apologize to him right now!”

Morgana’s expression turned cold.

My father-in-law trembled with rage, nearly raising a hand to her. I quickly stepped in and pulled him inside the house.

Morgana followed behind, dragging Evren along.

“Nash, I know you’re angry that I didn’t come home on New Year’s Eve. I can explain.”

Morgana spoke with a cold face and a stiff tone.

“That night, I drank too much. Evren didn’t feel right letting me go home alone, so he looked after me all night.”

“Nothing happened between us. Don’t think such filthy thoughts.”

“Got it.”

I answered flatly.

Whether something happened that night or not, frankly, it no longer mattered to me.

“Aren’t you going to ask me anything?”

Morgana pressed again.

“No.”

I turned around and headed to the kitchen to help my mother-in-law cook.

Morgana had never stepped foot in the kitchen. She always said she hated the smell of cooking oil.
