Chapter 114 Not as Planned
I raised an eyebrow at Melanie, then led my family into Snow World. I even acted lovey–dovey with Matthew. Melanie was furious, but she dared not react.
After visiting the Underwater World, I let Ava take part in the lucky draw, “Surprisingly,” she won a prize–a free trip to Celestis Island for three.
I had always wanted to visit a tropical island, and my parents shared my enthusiasm. Then I went to the organizer to learn more about the itinerary.
We discussed the trip plans at home, and Matthew encouraged me to go with my parents.
He said, “Have fun, okay? I’ll pay for all the additional expenses. Stay there for a few more days if you
want.”
I eagerly planned the trip and got an extra ticket for Ava. Then, based on Atlas’s plan, I got Adrian to set a date for the divorce trial. Once we were on the island, I would make an excuse to return for the hearing.
The night before our departure, I had packed everything and was talking to my parents in the Ava ran over to me in tears and threw her arms around me. “Daddy and Aunt Mel are fighting!”

finally hitting me.

dressed.
Seeing me storm in, he hurried over to hold me. “Be quiet! Your parents are still around, remember?”
Melanie declared, “That’s right, old man. Let me introduce you to my boyfriend. We grew up together, and we’ve been a couple for many years. It’s your stupid daughter who refuses to divorce him.”
Then she added, “Oh, by the way, I’m pregnant with his child!”
“Don’t listen to her, Dad!” I looked at Melanie as I tried to calm down my father. “Shut your mouth, bitch!”
“You want me to shut up? No problem. Just leave the house!” She turned to my dad while hugging herself. “Matt brought you two here so you could tell your daughter to leave us alone. Tell her to have some self-
respect!”
I felt my dad stagger next to me and had a bad feeling.
