"Miranda, your marriage needs to end! Anthony is clearly abusing your love and already hurting you. Don’t be soft-hearted!"
However, Miranda didn’t utter a single word. Instead, she just stared at me with crimson eyes as if she'd been deeply hurt.
"Babe, is what Ralph said true?"
"Call her over. I’ll help you check. As long as she passes my test and truly loves you, I’ll grant your marriage! But our daughter is the fruit of our love, so I absolutely won’t agree to you taking her!"
After that, Miranda immediately hugged our daughter and burst into tears.
Anyone who witnessed the scene would’ve blamed me. Meanwhile, Ralph’s eyes gleamed with pride. He leaned in toward me again and said, "Anthony, break up with that bitch! Living a good life with Miranda is better than anything else!"
"Get lost!"
I couldn’t help but shake his hand off as my long-suppressed anger finally erupted.
"Ralph, don’t think I’ve got no idea on what you’ve done behind my back?"
Eventually, my patience had worn thin and I ended up kicking him in the shin.
"If you dare meddle in my family affairs again, I’ll make you pay!"
Ralph stumbled back, landing squarely on the seafood platter, turning the entire spread into a mess.
