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.

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
