Chapter 282

Martha sat stiffly on the couch, her anger still simmering.

"Mom," Carlisle said, walking toward her.

Martha shot him a cold, disdainful look. "Don't call me that. Right now, all you can think about is protecting that temptress. I don't even exist to you anymore."

Hearing Martha's sarcastic tone, Carlisle frowned as he sat down beside her.

He leaned back against the couch and gave her a mocking look. "Stop calling her a temptress. If it weren't for you meddling all those years ago, she would've been your daughter-in-law by now."
