NovelEnglishChapter 396:
Sharon said with concern, “Didn’t the news just report a nanny selling a baby? How could a nanny possibly be
better than the mother?”
Adrian agreed and added, “Kathy is gentle and kind. And she’s pretty too. Now that she’s pregnant, why do you
think she isn’t right for Bryson?”
Raina and Joanna exchanged knowing looks.
“Isn't it obvious? Why do we need a reason if we simply don’t like her?”
Kathy clearly wasn’t the type of daughter-in-law the Andrews couple wanted. What more could they say to make
that clear?
A flash of anger crossed Kathy's face, but she restrained it. Madeline had advised her to appear vulnerable and
cry in front of the Andrews family.
“Even if you don’t like me, at least think of the baby. I'm not asking for much. I just want to be with my baby.

She shed tears and appealed to their emotions.
Joanna shivered with irritation and said, “Stop playing the victim. | can see right through you.”
In her eyes, Kathy was utterly disgusting.

Raina tightened her fists, frustrated by the constant mention of the baby. Kathy was correct; the baby was
innocent, and the adults were to be blamed. The real motive behind the Carter family’s actions was to forge a
bond with the Andrews family.
Raina bowed her head. A man could remarry after a divorce without much damage. If Bryson had chosen to
marry Kathy, then so be it. Marriage required commitment from both partners. Things wouldn't be as simple as
Kathy expected.
Raina exhaled in relief, realizing she could always find a reason to teach Kathy a lesson if she becpart of the
Andrews family. As a mother-in-law, Raina could be quite challenging to get along with.
“Okay, I'm fine with it,” Raina said calmly, crossing her arms and leaning back.
“Mom!” Joanna cried out, astonished.
Hadn't her mom been on her side just moments ago? Why had she suddenly agreed? No way! She couldn't
accept that her brother would marry Kathy.
A smile of pure happiness spread across Kathy's face. Once Raina consented, Joanna's objections no longer
mattered!
Sure enough, Darwin and Raina dismissed Joanna's complaints without much thought.
Adrian couldn't contain his excitement as Derek’s words cback to mind. “Let's discuss the details.”
Following this, the two families began to discuss the wedding arrangements.
Kathy, with a bashful smile, glanced at the distant Bryson. Meanwhile, unnoticed by all, Joanna sat beside the
sofa, her eyes brimming with tears, her fists clenched, and her eyes red from weeping.
Upon hearing that, Joanna's breaths grew heavier. Norah stopped writing.

“Joanna?”
Joanna's breaths grew deeper, now mingled with soft sobs.
“Joanna, are you crying?”
Her voice quivered with sobs. As she watched the two families earnestly discussing the wedding details, she felt
a deep sadness. Her family had ignored her feelings and decided to welcKathy.
She covered her mouth, trying to muffle her sobs, and wheeled herself out of the living room. Once out of sight,
she broke down crying in a corner.
“Norah, my brother is going to marry Kathy! | don’t want him to marry her. She doesn’t deserve him,” Joanna
said between sobs.
She still refused to accept the reality of Bryson’s upcoming marriage.
“Derek is so wonderful. How can he marry Kathy? They're completely mismatched.”
Holding her phone, Joanna sobbed uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.
