Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 56

Emma knew that in the past, people used to address Liam as “Mr. Hall” with a sense of reverence.

Brad chuckled and said, “It’s just a phrase. Emma, your nitpicking over words makes it seem like there is a distance between Liam and us.”

Liam said coldly, “Today is Dad’s birthday. You had better not cause trouble. Also, my wife is young, and she’s badass. If you pick a fight with her, be prepared to get schooled.”

Sure enough, Brad’s expression turned cold.

On the side, Brad’s birth mother and Liam’s stepmother, Elsie, also looked grim after hearing that.

Simon didn’t hear it, and neither did the other guests. They all appeared to be enjoying themselves.
