Do you not remember the state of the Sander family when I married you? How can you say I seduced you into marrying me? Can you justify saying these things in light of the vows you made toback then? Were all those promises just lies? All I said was that Melody is both our daughter, so why do you insist on blamingfor everything?" Ethan's face darkened at the sight of his wife crying. He had indeed spoken harshly in anger earlier. However, he was used to being the alpha male and would not stoop to apologizing to Helen. As the head of the household, he saw no need to apologize for anything.
Just as Helen was crying, Wendy pushed open the door and entered. Before entering, she had a smile on her face, but upon seeing her stepmother crying and her father sitting on the couch with a stern expression, her smile faded.
"What's going on, Dad? Are you two fighting again?" she pretended to ask out of concern. These two had been frequently arguing lately.

After saying this, Wendy grabbed the car keys, put on her shoes, and left without looking back. Helen called out to her several times as she walked away, but Wendy did not even spare her a glance. "That child... She didn't even say when she'll be back. I made a lot of her favorite food tonight," Helen grumbled to herself, then reluctantly asked the housekeeper to bring all the dishes to the table. After that, she half-heartedly called out to Ethan to cand eat as well.

He was worried that if Helen went to see Melody, she might say something she should not have and cause snew trouble. The Sanders could not afford any more gossip news.
"Why don't you ask your precious daughter why she cto me? Am I your servant or something? Why do I have to do everything and report every detail to you?" I
Ethan slammed his bowl on the table.
"What's with your attitude? If you1 don't want to eat, then don't!"
Helen's chest heaved with suppressed anger. She scaffed and asked, "Why shouldn't I eat?" X
