A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 139

Chapter 137

As soon as the duo turned around, they saw Steven taking big strides toward them with a big ladle in his hand. At the same time, he was followed by Toby, who was staggering with his steps along the way. Steven was seen with his eyes wide open at that moment, glaring at Melissa like an angry beast as if he wanted to eat her.

In the meantime, Steven didn’t strike Melissa with the ladle but instead brandished it in front of the woman to

threaten her. “My daughter gave everything she had to your family, but none of you treated her the way she
