Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 24 What Did You Do to My Mother?

Galatea stood silently on the sidelines, not understanding a word of Alaric's explanation. She remained quiet to avoid blowing her cover.

After hearing him out, the Nash couple fell into a heavy silence, unable to find words for a long time.

"I'm truly sorry things didn't work out with Orion, but I hope it won't affect the relationship between our families," Alaric added.

"Of course not," Griffon Nash gave a pained smile and said, "We all understand. After all, you two weren't truly husband and wife. If there's anyone to blame, it's Orion for not stepping up."

"Dad!" Orion had hoped they would help her salvage the situation, but to her dismay, Griffon saw no point in fighting a lost battle.

"Enough, don't say another word. You could have been a real family, but you blew it. This is all your fault, now go back to your room!" Griffon blamed her.

"Dad, I'm the one who got dumped. How is this suddenly my fault? What did I do wrong?" Orion's indignant response to her father.

"That's enough. If your dad says go, then go," Mrs. Ravenna Nash ordered. She feared that more trouble might come from Orion's words, and quickly pulled her upstairs.

By now, the atmosphere had thoroughly soured. When Orion's venomous gaze accidentally met Galatea's, she hastily looked away.

"She's just spoiled," Griffon Nash said with a forced smile, turning to Galatea, "Don't worry about it."

Galatea nodded hurriedly.

"Alaric, we all understand your situation. Just focus on being happy with Galatea and leave our daughter to us. We'll make sure she doesn't bother you anymore," Griffon Nash paused before adding, "but as for your mother, that's something you'll need to handle on your own. You know how she can be."
