Can’t Win Me Back

Despite wanting to keep Tatiana company, Sean had no choice but to see his mom to the hospital.

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

speak, Lyla clutched her sleeve with one hand and held Mandy's arm with another.

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

"I'm fine," Lyla croaked.

"The Schmidts are rascals, but the Lynches are not better." Mandy shook her head indignantly. "I

thought they'd at least be grateful for Winston's favor. These ingrates! Sean is a good guy, but his

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.

I'm the one to blame. I'm too weak and useless to promise my daughter a happy marriage."
