Whenever she hugged him, it felt like she gained infinite strength and courage.

Then, he held her face and said to her in all seriousness, “I am your husband. Promise me; the next time something like this happens, you have to tell me. Okay?”

She nodded vigorously as tears overflowed from her eyes again. Turning on her phone, she saw that there were numerous missed calls and text messages as well as messages on Messenger. They were all scolding her in one way or another. Some of the family group chats were also berating her for being inhumane and unfilial, and ruining the Bishop siblings’ ‘marriages’.

As soon as Maddie’s phone was turned on again, Mr. Evans’ call came through. she was just about to hang up on him when Joel suddenly took the phone from her and answered the call. Mr. Evan’s voice immediately sounded from the other side of the phone, blowing up at her at the top of his voice. “Maddie Evans, do you still regard me as your father?! Look at how angry you’ve made Uncle Byron! Did you think I won’t be able to do anything to you since you’ve settled down in Bayside City?! I’m telling you; I have many ways to deal with you! I’m giving you two days to come home and beg for forgiveness!”

Upon hearing that voice, Maddie froze for a moment. It felt as if a bucket of ice water came pouring down on her head, filling her heart with sorrow and disappointment. Squeezing her hand slightly, Joel spoke to the other person on the phone. “Nice to meet you, father-in-law. I am Maddie’s lover, Joel Fletcher. I do not believe Maddie did anything wrong during today’s incident. If you have any objections, you can find me in Bayside City at any time. I will explain it to you myself.”

When Mr. Evans heard his son-in-law’s voice, he became even ruder than before. “You b*stard! What sort of black magic did you cast on my daughter that made her so mesmerized?! How dare she no longer obey me?!”

Joel continued in a calm voice, “Maddie is an independent individual. She has no obligation to do anything for your family.” After saying that, he hung up.
