Lydia quickly jumped to Malcolm's defense. "Mom, please calm down. Dad and Meryl were just fooling around. It wasn't serious. Meryl isn't hurt. Why should we make such a scene as a family?"

Bianca scoffed, "Sure, Meryl's not hurt now. But if she had been harmed even slightly, Malcolm wouldn't be standing here so casually."

Malcolm tried to smooth things over with Bianca, swallowing his pride. "Honey, our son's graduating and coming home soon. He'll be looking for a wife before we know it.

Several months ago, being thrown out of the house had left quite an impression on him.

With the weather getting colder, if he got kicked out again, he wouldn't even be able to enjoy Christmas properly.

"Meryl," Lydia pleaded, "Dad's already humbled himself so much. Can't you just let it go?"

Malcolm was touched by how Lydia seemed to feel about his

situation.

Indeed, his sweet daughter's affection hadn't been misplaced.

Meryl couldn't stand watching their performance anymore.

Without another word, she turned towards the stairs. "I'm tired. I'm going up to rest."

No one dared stop her.
