Over the past few months, she had come to feel that the Ward family was genuinely good and kind to her.
She knew Marcus wanted to hear her call him that.
She had wanted to as well, but the word had always gotten stuck in her throat. But seeing him beat up Simon for her just now had filled her with an immense sense of security.
So this is what it feels like to have a brother. If someone tries to bully me, he’ll be the first one to stand up for me. The thought made her want to call him that.
Outside, Marcus was grinning cheekily at Terence. “Shouldn’t you be thanking me, too? If your older brother hadn’t shown up in time, this whole damsel-in-distress act of yours would have fallen apart.”
Terence gave Marcus an awkward smile.
A chill ran down Marcus's spine. Seeing a man as formidable as Terence actually smiling at him didn't feel friendly—it felt dangerous.
He decided it was was safer if Terence just kept a straight face.

“Grandpa! Grandpa, help me! Your grandson is about to be beaten to death!”
Daphne was shocked. “What happened? How did you get hurt so badly? Who did this to you?”

I think Terence must know something isn't right about Angela, that's why he agreed to figure it out....
Marie needs to be gone, she has caused enough trouble for Natalie. This is getting boring!...
This fiasco needs to end. Natalie and Terrance need to be together and in my mind somehow those twins are Natalie’s....
Time for Marie to get her end, this has gone on way too long, time to move on. It’s getting boring....
Payback time. Waiting for chapters 321 onwards!...
I love the sarcastic comebacks. Quite amusing!...
