The Wrong Woman

Lindsey couldn’t stop talking about how much effort she put into raising the Morrison brothers.

Suddenly, a loud noise outside caught everyone’s attention. Taylor, Tobias, and Duke hurried in with their wives, looking concerned.

They quickly asked, “Where’s Dad? How is he?”

With a big smile, Lindsey replied, “Your dad is here, enjoying his lunch.”

Gary was confused when he saw his sons and daughters-in-law looking anxious. “What’s happening?”

Taylor shot Lindsey an angry look and grumbled, “Aunt Lindsey told us you had a stroke and died at home.”

Frustrated, Gary slammed the table and shouted, “Lin! Can’t you tell a joke without making it sound like a curse? You wished a stroke and death upon me at home?”

Lindsey rushed over and gripped Gary’s arm. “Gary, I was just joking and no harm intended. Don’t be upset. Let me ease your mind.”

Gary felt helpless, and an awkward atmosphere settled among everyone. They were eventually forced into sitting down for a meal together.

Lindsey continued her critiques by labeling each member of the Morrison family as “heartless”. Suzanne grew tired after just two

rounds of hearing the complaints.

She couldn’t imagine how many times the Morrisons had endured Lindsey’s criticisms to be so afraid of her.

After lunch, Lindsey forbade anyone from leaving. She forced the

entire family to gather on the living room couch for coffee and

conversation.

Sitting close to Nathan, Suzanne quietly asked him, “Nathan, is it true that Lindsey raised you and your brothers?”

Nathan leaned in and whispered to Suzanne, not wanting anyone else to hear, “Not exactly. In our family, we’ve had housekeepers since my grandmother’s time..

“When we were kids, each of us brothers had our own nanný. Aunt Lindsey never really went to work and liked staying at home. She kind of observed us growing up, but didn’t exactly take care of us.”

“It looks like your dad spoils his little sister quite a bit,” Suzanne

remarked.

“Yeah, that’s true.”

Suzanne playfully whispered in Nathan’s ear, “Are you happy with the bride she selected for you?”

Nathan furrowed his brow and replied in a slightly serious tone, “Don’t take it too seriously. This is her fifth goddaughter. She wants to play matchmaker for all five of us.”

Suzanne and Nathan’s close interaction caught everyone off guard They sat side by side and whispered intimately to each other. Their connection mirrored that of a couple deeply in love.

Even though they were an actual couple, the entire family was aware that Suzanne and Nathan lacked any emotional connection and were likely headed for divorce.

Their unusual behavior genuinely baffled everyone. However, Suzanne and Nathan appeared oblivious to the intimacy of their actions and the surprise they elicited from those around them. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

A hint of jealousy flickered in Elyse’s eyes, but she put on a sweet

smile and commented, “Nathan and Suzanne seem to have a great relationship!”

Hearing this, Suzanne realized she had been too close to Nathan.

earlier and quickly moved away from him. Her face turned a bit red, and she felt embarrassed as her heart raced.

Lindsey gave Suzanne a disdainful look and remarked, “What’s so great about it? Nate has a crush on that Hoffis girl.

“I don’t even know where this woman sitting here is from, but my mom messed up the match, and they’ll likely end up getting a divorce.”

Nathan’s expression turned serious. The mention of Sally made

Suzanne feel uneasy.

Everyone seemed to have a negative view of their marriage and expected it to end in divorce. It cast a shadow over Suzanne’s mood.

Layla gave Suzanne a scornful look and sneered, “Lindsey, you have no idea, do you? She’s the nurse who looked after your mom. Her past is just-”

Before Layla could finish her sentence, Nathan sharply intervene Layla, who gave you the right to disrespect my wife before me?”
