When Love Breaks by jack

Christine eyed me, not wanting to stir up trouble on my behalf, and had kept quiet until now.

But with that remark from Gregory, she couldn't help it and ended up choking on her own saliva.

Susan could be sharp-tongued towards me.

But with Gregory, she was like a cat that got her tongue - especially with Adah around, she couldn't play the elder card and was visibly holding back her anger. "You little rascal!*

Even Adah, who usually indulged Gregory, had to maintain some semblance of authority and glared at him, "Who taught you to speak like that?"

"Grandma, you did."

Gregory shrugged it off, "Standing up for what's right."

Adah glared at him, rendered speechless.

Anyone present could tell Susan was picking a fight, her words laced with unnecessary venom.

Just as the subject was about to be dropped, shy and quiet Lilliana, with all her innocence, chimed in softly.

"But Greg, my mom isn't wrong. Girls should respect themselves, be faithful:-"

Christine instantly got heated, but her tone remained calm, "Ms. Myers, relationship or marital failures aren't something to nail someone to the wall of shame for. Just because you stayed dry doesn't mean you have the right to ruin someone else's shelter."

“Lilliana!

Ramona frowned as well, "Who fed you that line? If you ever find yourself unhappy in marriage, I would be the first to bring you back home, understand? Divorce has nothing to do with one's purity or self-respect. Don't just listen to nonsense."

'Mom!"

Susan couldn't stand it anymore, "You're blatantly favoring her, what Lilliana said isn't wrong..."

"Not wrong?"

Ramona questioned calmly, then dropped a bombshell, "Have you forgotten the circumstances under which you entered the Myers family?"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

The atmosphere turned icy in an instant.

Susan's face went from red to white, clearly caught off guard by Ramona's direct hit.

Even Gregory looked puzzled.

It seemed like... Susan herself was a second-time bride.

Ramona's expression darkened. "It's been twenty or thirty years, and I've never brought this up because, just like what Greg said, it's not worth mentioning. But why do you insist on using this to belittle others time and time again?*

Susan clutched her hands, trembling as if deeply humiliated, and stormed out.

Seeing Ramona upset, Adah tried to console her, "Let it go, she's always been like that. Why bother with her?"

Ramona gave her a look, then turned to me, saying, "Dear, don't take their words to heart. Marriage doesn't define you. Besides, you have an exceptional talent for design. Once the guests arrive and see the dress I'm wearing, you'll be flooded with inquiries. Keep your spirits up and make a killing."

Today, Ramona was wearing a lavender dress I designed, with a perfect waistline that flattered her figure, adorned with elegant patterns that elevated its sophistication.

As people age, comfort in clothing becomes paramount.

If it can be stylish too, even better.

In designing for the two elder women, I considered not only their personal preferences but also the comfort and texture of the materials.

But I knew Ramona's support wasn't just about my skills. It skills. It was moren about the dream she had had about me.

As dusk settled, guests started to arrive, Ramona got up, leading today's star, Lilliana, to greet the quests The butler guided us to the banquet hall.

Christine and I walked ahead, with Gregory Kicking stones behind us, like a pesky tagalong, "Why didn't you reply to my we
