Chapter 23
Jennifer told them to get divorced before they could even greet her.
Melinda instantly realized the situation she was in. Instead of responding, she turned to look at the
sedate man beside her.
“Don’t look at him, Jennifer said sternly. “My son and Monica are a perfect match. I have no idea how
you got pregnant with his kids. Hell, I don’t even know if those are his kids. However, I won’t
acknowledge you to be part of my family We’ll raise the kids and give you some money as
compensation.”
Since Stanley was silent, Melinda couldn’t tell what was on his mind.
“That’s not my decision to make, she replied. “It’s up to your son. After all, he insisted on marrying me.”
Upon hearing that, Jennifer was displeased, for the younger woman had no regard for her.
I’m asking about your stance, not his!”
“Mom, marriage is not a game. Despite the calmness in Stanley’s voice, he sounded authoritative. “I
gave it some serious consideration before deciding to marry her. I’ve brought her here to see you just
to let you know that I will never marry Monica”

“She’s not any woman,” Stanley stressed. “She’s the kids‘ mother. No one else is more suited to be my
wife,”
As fury rose within her, Jennifer held her chest with a hand. Seeing that, Stephanie promptly supported

ridiculous!

During dinner, Melinda was with the kids.
“The robot Daddy gave me is fun and clever! It has such a cute voice too.” Samuel was still excited
about his new toy. “Mommy, it’s also a knowledgeable companion. I’ll sleep with it tonight!”
“Mine is pink. I love it too.” Pamela smiled sheepishly. “Mr. Swanson told me that Daddy gave you
some roses. Has he fallen in love with you, Mommy?”
“Isn’t it natural that Mommy and Daddy are in love?” Samuel refuted. “After all, our Mommy is so
beautiful.”
Melinda looked at the kids with a smile. “Stop talking and have your dinner.”
“Was Grandma fierce?”
“I said stop talking and have your dinner!”
Meanwhile, it was quiet in the study upstairs.

After giving it some thought, she headed to the study. The entire place was silent, and no noise was
heard coming from the study.

At the same time, she wrapped her arms around his waist.
As Stanley looked at the woman in his embrace, he parted his lips.
Melinda quickly straightened up and looked at him, feeling embarrassed. For a moment, she had no
idea what to say. “I wasn’t eavesdropping or taking a peek. I just… I just…“.
Stanley ignored the woman’s embarrassed expression and brushed past her, not intending to settle the
