“Grandpa, she’s Dr. Sanders’ daughter, the sworn enemy of our Ramirez family!”

Hawley shot back, “You knew that, so why did you marry her? Now that you have, she gotta step up to the plate and fulfill her duties as a Ramirez family bride!”

“I plan to have kids, but there’s no way I’m letting Letitia be the one to carry them.”
