Silence descended on the living room after the massive family argument just now. Too shocked to

"Lyla, are you okay?" Mandy caressed Lyla's cold hand.

"I'm fine," Lyla croaked.

parents and brother are unbearable. I'm worried they'd bully Taty if she marries Sean."

"Mandy, that's enough." Lyla closed her eyes and shook her head remorsefully. "It's not anyone's fault.
