His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1023

"Mom...why do you insist on being so stubborn? You really must come to your senses," said Sue pleadingly. Filled with such disbelief at her mother's apparent loss of morals, Sue was fed up with her mother's foolishness, especially when it came to her brother Allen and his mischievous antics. She sighed as she continued, "Allen has killed someone. He has commited a very serious crime and he's as guilty as sin. You are aware of that, right? Do you still think he is justified for doing what he did? Are you seriously still considering covering up for him in this critical moment? If that's the case then you really are out of your mind. Who does that?!"

As she was speaking, Sue got a little agitated as she looked at Peggy. "Mom, look at you, do you have any idea what you have become now? Allen is a wanted criminal and you're going to run from the police with him. You are fugitives and you are bound to live a miserable life, in which you will always be running."

"Stop talking nonsense. You don't know anything," Peggy argued, vexed by Sue's remarks. She looked at Sue angrily. "He's my only son. If I don't help him, who will? Will you help him? And will you support my life, since you're married now and all? Huh? I suppose even if you do actually agree to support me, your family-in-law will not approve that at all."

With a sneer, Peggy continued speaking to Sue. "Yes, I admit that he is guilty of killing someone, but I also understand his reasons. As a man, how could he tolerate his wife cheating on him. If it were me, I would have done the same thing. A whore like Doris doesn't deserve our pity. As I've said, your brother is completely not at fault. You should try to understand where he was coming from as well. He's completely justified for killing her. That slut had only herself to blame. What did she think was going to happen? She got exactly what she deserved."

"Mom, do you have any idea what you are saying? I don't understand you at all. Killing a person is a huge crime. You can not just play down its magnitude. Allen should admit his guilt, if not, you should turn him in. If you don't, you're just as guilty as he is!" Sue grumbled with discontent as she threw up her hands, unsure of what to say to change her mothers mind.

Soon after that, She stopped talking, realizing that she might have just been wasting her breath because neither of them was listening to her. The tension was so thick that you could cut it with a knife.

Peggy, seemingly annoyed, barked, "I asked you not to accuse your brother anymore. Didn't you hear me?"

Sue snapped back, "But I'm not accusing him. We already know that he did it. I'm just stating facts." Hearing this, Peggy was even more furious and shouted, "It was all caused by that bitch. Allen gave her everything that she wanted and satisfied all of her needs, but in the end, she betrayed him. It was an insult, not only to him, but to our family. She deserved it everything she got."

"Mom, how could you even say something like that?..." Sue thought that her mother's argument was preposterous and didn't make any sense and it upset her terribly. Suddenly, she felt her baby moving inside her womb, making her quite uncomfortable. She covered her belly with one hand, and with the other one, she held on to the railing of the stairs. She needed a rest for a while.

Seeing that Sue was uncomfortable, Peggy and Allen said nothing. Nor did they do anything to help her. They just didn't care about her at all. They just stared blankly at her with no care nor concern.

"So why did you come here today?" asked Sue after she had rested a while and felt a little better. "Now that you are running for you life, why do you come here to look for me? What do you want?! Aren't you afraid of being found by the police and getting caught?"

"Do you think I want to come back to you?" Allen was angry and on edge so he yelled at Sue, "The police are out there seaching for us. Mom and I have nowhere to hide ourselves and we are also peniless. If we didn't come back to find you, mom and I may have starved to death."

"That's what you deserve!" Sue scolded Allen, "Look at what you have done. Mom is old and you are making her suffer like this with you. I tell you, you should turn yourself in and confess your crime to the police and beg for their leniency. Otherwise I will..."

"Otherwise you will what?" interrupted Peggy. Peggy stood in front of Sue and said at the top of her voice, "Don't you ever forget, he is your brother, and you are his only sister. Don't be so harsh and cold-hearted to him. Think of a way to help him out if you can. Stop asking him to turn himself in!"

"Mom, it's for his own good," said Sue bitterly. "Since he has made a huge mistake, he needs to take the consequences of his wrongdoing. No matter what Doris had done, Allen you shouldn't have killed her. she was a living human life. Not to mention that she was pregnant... So you took two lives. What kind of man does that? How could you do that? Don't you feel even a tiny bit guilty? Maybe one small twinge of remorse?"

"You're such a wuss, and stop pretending to be the paragon of virtue!" Peggy countered, looking rather discontended. "It was not Allen's child anyway. It shouldn't have come into this world. Your brother didn't do anything wrong at all."

"If he hadn't done anything wrong, the why would he be running? What is he hiding from? Why is he fleeing for his life now? Why is he afraid that the police will arrest him?" Sue snapped back, furrowing her eyebrows.
