Chapter 823: She Is My Lawful Wife

Kelly froze mid-motion, her expression shifting to outrage as she snapped, "What did you just say? Did you just call me an outsider? Ella is my sister, and in name, I'm Jared's little sister too. You, his so-called fiancée, are the real outsider!" Her words fell like a stone into an already tense atmosphere, making it even colder and suffocating.

Nathan glanced at Jared's expression, secretly clicking his tongue in amazement. Your blind date really doesn't have a clue.

Hayden, focused entirely on the food in front of him, nodded in silent agreement.

Before Tina could respond, Jared leaned slightly away, as if Kelly were some sort of plague. Even before she could get close, he had already created distance, his tone dripping with disdain. "Tina is my wife."

His sharp gaze briefly landed on Kelly. Someone he usually wouldn't even bother to look at was now graced with a rare moment of seriousness. "My lawful wife," he added.

"Pfft!" Tina couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

Her Uncle, serious for once, looked unexpectedly cute. Ever since they got their marriage certificate, he had been particular about correcting anyone who referred to her as his fiancée.

When they registered their marriage, they'd only posted a brief announcement on social media. While most people in their circle knew they were married, many outside it remained unaware. Even within the Bailey family, only Ella Bailey knew. Most others, if they had done any digging, would have found out. But Kelly? Clearly, she hadn't done her homework; otherwise, she wouldn't be clueless about their marriage.

Tina suspected that if Kelly dared call her a fiancée again, her Uncle wouldn't hesitate to throw her out.

Jared cast another glance at Kelly, his revulsion almost palpable. "Next time you go out, make sure you bring your brain."

If Ella Bailey hadn't invited her, Kelly wouldn't have even made it past the door.
