Chapter 922
Comelia quickly handed Allen a tissue, “What’s up?”
Wiping away his tears, Allen said, “Mr. Artis, let me tell ya, women can sometimes turn into real nightmares
“What are you blabbering about?” asked Sonya
“I’m talking to Mr Artis, you butt out,” answered Allen.

Marcus nodded, “No worries, I know what to take in and what to brush off.”
Allen gripped Marcus hand and went on, “Before getting married, I was all stoked about married life, seeing other
couples hand in hand, I was green with envy. The first few years after I got married were just like that. My wife was
all sweet and caring, and we had loads to chat about, tons of fun stuff to do together But, as time went on,
especially after having a kid, she suddenly turned all cranky and was always snapping at me.
“Mr. Artis, let me tell ya, one time when I got back from work, the moment I opened the front door, a shoe came
flying at me. I didn’t have time to dodge, and boom, it smacked me night in the face… she actually hit me!”
Zack, listening on the side, was having a good laugh. “Keep going. I haven’t heard these juicy stories yet.”
Marcus looked at Comelia, and Cornelia was looking back at him, their gazes meeting in mid-air.
“You scared?” she asked.
Marcus quietly gripped Comelia’s hand, “Not one bit!”
Sonya wanted to shut her husband up, but she wasn’t as strong as him. Before she could get close, she was pushed
away by Allen.
Abigail was taken aback. She didn’t know her mild-tempered mom had this side to her, “Dad, when did this happen?
How come I don’t know about it?”
Allen explained. “That was when you were a few months old. At that time she wasn’t working, but she was all fiery2.
I had no idea what I did to tick her off”

Allen answered, “Exactly. She wasn’t working, but she wasn’t doing a great job taking care of you. You were always
crying at night. I couldn’t get any rest during that period, and it was affecting my work, so I sometimes stayed over
at your grandparents’ house”
Upon hearing this, Abigail quickly realized something. She turned her head and hugged her mom, “Mom, I love you!
I really, really love you! Thank you for sticking it out and not leaving me back then!”
Heaning Abigail’s words, her mom choked up. Not everyone understood her, but her daughter did, “Abby, all that’s
in the past, I’m okay now.”
This event had happened so many years ago, Sonya had never thought about bringing it up again. She certainly
didn’t expect Allen to mention it, and in such a pitiful tone. The moment she heard it, she was fuming. ‘Do you still
feel wronged?”
