Jennifer told them to get divorced before they could even greet her.
Melinda instantly realized the situation she was in. Instead of responding, she turned to look at the sedate man beside her.
“Don’t look at him, Jennifer said sternly. “My son and Monica are a perfect match. I have no idea how you got pregnant with his kids. Hell, I don’t even know if those are his kids. However, I won’t acknowledge you to be part of my family We’ll raise the kids and give you some money as compensation.”
Since Stanley was silent, Melinda couldn’t tell what was on his mind.
“That’s not my decision to make, she replied. “It’s up to your son. After all, he insisted on marrying me.”
Upon hearing that, Jennifer was displeased, for the younger woman had no regard for her.
I’m asking about your stance, not his!”
“Mom, marriage is not a game. Despite the calmness in Stanley’s voice, he sounded authoritative. “I gave it some serious consideration before deciding to marry her. I’ve brought her here to see you just to let you know that I will never marry Monica”
“Stanley!” Jennifer was agitated, and disbelief was written all over her face. “You can’t just marry any woman because you don’t love Monica!”
“She’s not any woman,” Stanley stressed. “She’s the kids‘ mother. No one else is more suited to be my wife,”

“Mine is pink. I love it too.” Pamela smiled sheepishly. “Mr. Swanson told me that Daddy gave you some roses. Has he fallen in love with you, Mommy?”
“Isn’t it natural that Mommy and Daddy are in love?” Samuel refuted. “After all, our Mommy is so beautiful.”
Melinda looked at the kids with a smile. “Stop talking and have your dinner.”
“Was Grandma fierce?”
“I said stop talking and have your dinner!”
