Wendy had a hot temper and always saw Crystal as her daughter-in-law. To her, I was nothing but a caregiver in charge of looking after Lyle.
As if she had seen something terrifying, she was screaming at the top of her lungs and shoving everyone around her aside as she made her way toward me. “Because of you, Crystal has lost her child, and I have lost my grandson! How dare you show your face here, Yvonne? You b*tch, are you here to screw up the wedding? I won’t let you have your way!”
Why does she always think that I’m trying to hurt or sabotage someone when the real villain has been right beside her the whole time? With that in mind, I couldn’t help but wonder if Wendy was suffering from persecutory delusion.
“Mom, the wedding is about to start, and we’ve still got a lot of guests to greet,” Lyle interrupted her. Back then, he would’ve taken her side and joined her in insulting me without any hesitation, but that no longer seemed to be the case.
“To hell with greeting them! I’m telling you, Yvonne is nothing but trouble! I mean, look at how she’s still hanging around you after being with Christopher! I bet she’s up to no good showing up here today. Make sure to keep her out of the hall, or she’ll bring bad luck to both of you! Honestly, I would’ve kicked her a*s if it weren’t your big day today!” Wendy shouted with her finger pointed at me.
Had Christopher not been standing next to me at the time, her nails would probably have jabbed into my forehead by now.
“My apologies. You see, I wasn’t planning on coming either, but your son came to me a few days ago. He told me he was going to get married and wanted to discuss with me what I should give him as a wedding gift. It’d be rude to refuse his sincere invitation now, wouldn’t you agree?” I said while handing Wendy the wedding invitation that Lyle and Crystal gave me.
After that, I simply kept quiet and waited to see what else she would say to me.
