Love Wins Over Lust novel Chapter 28

Ralph looked at Susan who was glaring at his brother. Since she had started living in Vancouver, she had made her brother's life hell and she was alive for only two reasons. One was his dear wife and the other was Ralph himself.

Liam knows that Ralph had feelings for her and her feelings for him. He even used this information to create a rift between his wife and Susan but their friendship was made in heaven. Nobody knows what they talked about with each other but everything was fine between them and Aurora refused to share anything with Liam.

It irked Liam but he couldn't do anything about it. His love for his wife had changed him a lot. Ralph never believed in relationships, marriage or anything.

He had a few dom-Sub relationships but even they stopped after Susan. She had done something no other girl could ever do to him. Ralph felt something he couldn't describe in words. He wanted to hold her the same way he held her before, this time permanently.

He glanced at his brother and his wife, he still couldn't believe the man whose sole motive was to marry Aurora so that he could rule over the Canadian mafia had turned into a devoted husband.

"Have a few mashed potatoes, Liam. You used to love them…" Penny said as she tried to serve him but he stopped her. "As you said, I used to love it but not anymore," Liam snapped. The whole table went silent, "Liam, you are talking to your mother…"

Liam glared at Ryan. "And you are talking to your boss, dad. I can't start respecting a person who never cared about us when we needed her and now that she has come back she wants to behave like we are still teenagers!"

Aurora gasped hearing the venom in Liam's voice. "Liam…"

"If she is trying to make up for the old days why can't you give it a try, Liam!" Ralph snapped.

"Because we are no longer teenagers, Ralph!"

Then he looked at his wife. "Don't get involved in this," he snapped at her.

Aurora understood that his mother was a sore topic for him. He wanted space on it but Susan didn't stop herself. "And you have no right to talk to Aurora like this. Don't forget I can take her away from here…"

Liam fisted his hands tightly, "Aurora is my wife, we love each other. Maybe you don't understand this concept but she does, so why don't you just shut your mouth and not interfere in my marriage. "

" Liam…" Aurora scolded him but Susan didn't need anyone to speak for her, she knew how to get under Liam's skin really well. "I wouldn't have interfered but your track record says otherwise. Maybe you are once again only pretending because you can't cage her like you did before…"

Penny gasped, she glanced at Ryan in horror. Liam was just like him. "I will never forgive you for this, Ryan. Never!"

At that Liam lost his cool. "It's enough now," he glared at Susan. "You can't do anything, Susan Kelly. You are staying in my city. I am allowing you to do it because my wife wants you here. Whatever I did in the past it's between me and her, you are no one to ask any kind of explanations from me. So don't try to be brave in front of me!"

Susan opened her mouth to speak but closed it again when she glanced at Aurora who shook her head asking her not to stretch the topic. Liam turned his eyes to his mother.

"And you have no right to say anything about me or my lifestyle. You lost all your rights when you ran away with your lover boy leaving your two children behind. I wish he had killed you in reality!"

"Liam, you can't talk to mom like this!" Ralph snapped standing up with lightning speed, the chair he was sitting on fell on the floor with a thud.

Penny couldn't take it anymore, tears pooled into her eyes, she stood up and walked out of the dining room.

The room turned silent until Aurora broke it. "It was not a good thing you said to your mother."

"She deserves it."

Ralph punched the table hard. "She doesn't deserve any of the things you said. She never loved anyone but this twisted man we call our father!"

Lism stood up as well. "You don't know anything, I heard her talking to someone over the phone she ran…"

Ralph shook his head and glanced at Ryan. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself to spill lies about the woman who loved you?" Saying that he glared at Liam once again. "If you can't respect her then don't disrespect her too."

"Don't use that tone with me!"

"I will if you treat my mother disrespectfully," saying that he walked out of the room in search of Penny who was crying softly in the backside of the garden. "Mom," he called her.

Penny wiped her tears and forced herself to act normal. "Yes, son."

"Mom why don't you tell him the reality, I know there was no other man except for that twisted Ryan…"

"He is your father."

Ralph chuckled. "A father doesn't keep his children away from their mother. He lied to us about you. I don't like him, mom. Not after what he did to you."

Penny's heart melted hearing him. "You never believed him, Ralph. All these years you never trusted his words that I loved someone else…"
