Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me-Chapter 155: Laughingstock
"He wasn’t just ignoring me, he’s just really busy with work..." Besides, she never expected to run into her mother today.
Joseph Summers was so angered by his daughter’s muttering that he shot to his feet, pointed at her, and cursed, "And now you think you’re in the right? How could I, Joseph Summers, have raised such a shameless daughter!"
No matter how her parents had scolded her before, she hadn’t been overly upset, because she was the one in the wrong. It was her fault.
But now, hearing her father call her shameless, she froze completely.
’I really was shameless. I clung to Tristan Grayson and became his wife. Now he’s dumped me, and I’ve shamelessly gotten pregnant, still clinging to him... I really do deserve to be called that!’
’Even knowing that Tristan Grayson is with that other woman right now, I’ve never thought about leaving him.’
’I even want to pretend I don’t know, just to hold on to my marriage, my family... Dad’s right. I am shameless...’
"That’s enough! She’s my daughter. When you curse her like that, aren’t you cursing me too?" Una Sullivan could scold her own daughter, but she absolutely wouldn’t let anyone else do it.
Joseph Summers shot Una Sullivan a look and said, "Don’t be ridiculous. You know that’s not what I meant."
"Hmph! Who knows what you meant!" Una Sullivan huffed angrily and ignored Joseph Summers.
After Una Sullivan’s outburst, Joseph Summers couldn’t bring himself to curse at Mika anymore. He could only sit down on the sofa, bottling up a stomachful of rage.
’To think that I, Joseph Summers, have lived for most of my life and have never been so humiliated! And now, in my old age, my precious daughter—the one who’s always been the least trouble—has gone and caused such a huge mess.’
’She secretly got her marriage certificate and even got pregnant. If word of this gets out, we’ll be a laughingstock...’
Seeing that her parents-in-law had fallen silent, Eleanor Bishop took Mika Summers’s hand and said in a hushed voice, "Mika, come with me."
Mika Summers nodded and started to leave with her sister-in-law.
Seeing them about to leave, Joseph Summers’s anger flared uncontrollably and he roared, "You! Stop right where you are! Don’t move!" ’Not a single word of explanation, and she thinks she can just leave?’
"Dad..." Mika Summers looked at Joseph Summers, her face etched with grievance.
Joseph Summers waved his hand dismissively and barked, "Don’t call me Dad. I don’t have a daughter like you."
Just then, Archie Summers happened to arrive. Seeing his dad scolding Mika, he rushed over and shielded her behind him. "Dad, this is my fault, don’t blame Mika! It’s my failure as an older brother. I didn’t watch over her properly."
"So you’re saying you knew all along that your sister married someone?" Joseph Summers asked sharply, his eyes narrowed.
"Yes... I knew all along..."
Joseph Summers’s hands were trembling with rage. "Fine! The two of you, brother and sister, hiding this from me! Do you think that just because I’m old, your wings have hardened and you don’t need me to look after you anymore?!"
"That’s not it..." Archie Summers and Mika Summers both replied, their heads lowered.
Seeing her two children like this, Una Sullivan’s heart ached for them. She completely forgot that she had just been giving Joseph Summers the silent treatment. She quickly got up, grabbed his arm, and coaxed him softly, "Alright... don’t be angry anymore..."
Furious, Joseph Summers shook off Una Sullivan’s hand and went back to his room.
Una Sullivan had no choice but to follow him.
Eleanor Bishop breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her parents-in-law leave. But before she could fully relax, Archie Summers’s vicious words rang out, "Didn’t I tell you to keep a low profile lately? Look at the mess you’ve caused!"
