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's eyes were glistening with tears.

"Mom?"

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.
