Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 894

After Debra left, Melody finally expressed her displeasure. "Your daughter is a bit unruly."

Liza had insulted and hit her. The shame would be with her for the rest of her life.

"I've spoiled Liza," Bert said. "I'm truly sorry about this. Please go back to your room and rest. I've called for a doctor to examine your face."

His gentle words calmed Melody somewhat, but the memory of Liza's harsh words still stung.

She said, "I only came to you because I don't know many people here. I didn't expect Liza to misunderstand. I wonder what others must think of me now."

"We're just old acquaintances. No need to worry about what others think," Bert reassured her. "No one dares speak ill of the Eaton family here."

The phrase "old acquaintances" struck a nerve with Melody. If she hadn't chosen that workaholic Wilbur all those years ago, she might have been the respected Mrs. Eaton today.

Though her life was comfortable, the thought of her unloving husband and disobedient grandson filled her with regret.

"Just old acquaintances?" Melody asked, more to herself than to Bert.

She quickly turned and headed upstairs, like a sulking child.

Bert shook his head. Beside him, Carter spoke up. "Sir, having Mrs. Nichols Sr. stay here isn't a good idea. If Miss Eaton finds out, she'll cause a scene every time she comes home."
