Wrong Ride, Right Lover novel Chapter 175

Monique staggered back and her hand found purchase on the door handle. She was used to Siobhan’s scolding, but these words cut deeper than the usual.

Yes, her uncle and aunt did not owe her anything. They had no obligation to take care of her.

It was likely her grandfather’s last wish for them to feed and shelter her.

Monique was an unwanted child. A burden.

She should not have come back. It was a mistake to yearn for that familial love.

Zephyrus pointed at Siobhan and shouted, “You shut your mouth!” The women in this household were going to drive him mad one day.

Siobhan did not back down. “Oh? Are you going to hit me? Come on!”

Before things escalated, Monique screamed at the top of her lungs. “Stop!”

If her uncle laid a hand on Siobhan, this incident would forever be a barb in their relationship. It would be a shame for the family to fall apart because of someone like her.

Monique kept shaking her head at Zephyrus, hoping he would back down. Tears were blurring her vision at this point. “Uncle, please. It’s not her fault. It’s mine.”

Yvonne was not wrong. The marks on her body were from a man.

In the end, Zephyrus did not lay a hand on Siobhan. For all her flaws, the woman had stayed with him for the past few decades.

“What the f*ck is going on?” the man from the date shouted.

From the ongoing conversation within the Xander family, he found out Monique not only had a daughter, but she was also an orphan. The worst of all was she had sex the day before their date!

Her body tensed at the smell. Without turning around, she knew who was standing behind her.

Why was he here?

A feeling of dread gripped her. Did he overhear the earlier conversation?

The man from this morning was no longer a concern.

All she could see was Henry Moore’s cold, black eyes threatening to swallow her whole. He could squish her like an ant and she knew he wanted to at that moment.

Henry was by far the scariest person in the room.

Monique felt like her heart was about to burst.
