Fiancé Uncle 165

Joyce could not take it anymore. She quickly stepped forward and pushed Lily away.

"Dad? Are you out of your mind?" said Joyce.

She did not use much strength, but Lily looked like she was in great pain, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Ethan was a little helpless. "Joyce, Lily didn't do anything wrong. She's innocent, isn't she?"

Joyce was about to go crazy. "That's not the point. The point is you at least have a bottom line and dignity. Did you stoop so low for that woman? She is the same woman who abandoned you back then."

Ethan stood up and slammed the table. "Joyce Maddox, she's your mother. Do you have any respect for her?"

Joyce's eyes were glistening with tears.

"Mom?"

Mom

As if Joyce had heard something funny, she pointed at her slightly red and swollen face. "Which biological mother would slap her daughter in public?"

Only then did Ethan notice something was wrong with Joyce.

He knew Joyce had always had a strong personality and rarely cried like this in front of others.

A A trace of guilt flashed across Ethan's eyes, and he did not know what to say for a moment.

Then Kelly walked in crying.

"I didn't want to hit you at first, but you kept scolding me and saying why I didn't die outside. You even told me to get out. Joyce, I'm your mother after all. Do you hate me so much? When I hit your face, the pain is in my heart. If I wasn't so disappointed, do you think I rald would have slapped you?" said Kelly. Then she looked at Ethan sadly.

Ethan's gaze slowly became firm. He looked at Joyce with a hint of annoyance for the first time.
