Morwenna was tired of the veiled criticisms.

She was finished with spoon-feeding Stuart. And really, she couldn't care less about Ms. Gallagher's or anyone else's thoughts.

While setting down her cup with a clink, Morwenna's eyes flashed as she said, "Oh, right, I'm not good enough for him, but you are. You act like the lady of the house, so why don't you marry Stuart? Is it because you don't love him?"
