She thought that I was being too nosy and overthinking things.

I asked her to set up a good example for Nancy as a mother.

Per her, there was no need for Nancy to know anything at such a young age.

Before I could say something else, she got impatient, saying, "If you don't want to be with me, let's get divorced." Then she slammed the door and left.

At that time, I loved Lily so much that I felt I couldn't live without her.

I didn't want my family to fall apart. I didn't want Nancy to be said to be from a single-parent family.

So I compromised.

Now that upon recalling, I was indeed stupid. I thought that I could make her treat me sincerely by putting up with her.

I took a deep breath, strode forward, and slapped Kellan hard in front of Lily. Growling, I said, "This is my home. Get out!"

Kellan fell from his chair. He was shocked at first before looking cunning.

"Lily, look at how barbaric he is. My face is swollen."

He pretended to be wronged to gain sympathy from Lily, which was his commonly used trick.

Just like before.

Lily flew into a rage on the spot. She pounded the table and shouted, "Kendall, are you crazy? How dare you hit Kellan."
