Chapter 1556
Gracie shot him a fiery glare and grabbed Kisa's hand, exclaiming, "Don't mind him. He's absolutely obsessed with parading our daughter around in front of his buddies. It's beyond infuriating!"
"Hey, what's the big deal with showing off my precious daughter to those single losers?" he snapped back, only to receive another dramatic eye roll from Gracie. His face fell, a picture of pure hurt. "She's my daughter too, remember?"
"Oh, really? And what exactly did you contribute? You just provided that tiny little something, while I endured nine months of pregnancy and all the pain that came with it!"
"I..." Kelvin was left utterly speechless, seething with anger.
Kisa, caught in the crossfire of their heated exchange, let out an awkward, nervous laugh. Gracie pulled her away to play with the children, completely disregarding Kelvin's existence. Furious, he clenched his teeth and glared at Kisa with a jealous intensity.
'How can this outsider stand against me, the rightful husband and father?'
As soon as Gilbert entered, he noticed his wife being subjected to a fierce stare and immediately furrowed his brow, snapping unhappily, "If you don't want my wife and me here, we will just leave." With that, he gestured for their three kids to join him.
Panicking, Kelvin quickly grabbed him. "What are you talking about? We're practically family; how could I not welcome you?"
"And what about my wife?"
Kelvin hesitated, glancing at Kisa before muttering, "Welcome, welcome. A very warm welcome."
Andrew smirked. "Uncle Kelvin doesn’t seem too thrilled."
Anxious, Kelvin hastily waved at him. "Stop stirring the pot! I'm genuinely happy to have your mom here, okay?"
Gilbert walked over, grinning from ear to ear, and slapped Kelvin's shoulder. "Alright, I was just messing with you. Congrats, buddy!" Kelvin was like a brother to him; someone he had known since childhood. There was no way he would miss the baby's full-month celebration. It was all just a playful tease.
