Chapter 54

Even Melissa disagreed with her eldest daughter-in-law. "I can't have sweets, but does that mean no one else can have them? Besides, Lisa is still young. People her age love sweets. “She probably put the cake in the refrigerator because she thought it would taste better when chilled during the summer. You know what? It did taste better. It's been so long since I've had such a delicious cake." After speaking, Melissa seemed to savor the memory. The three Parker men fell silent and thought, ‘How did this discussion become about food?’ Melissa continued, "Maybe she didn't expect me to come home so suddenly." At this point, the three Parker men were at a loss for words, especially Leonard, whose right hand trembled violently. It was the same hand that slapped Lisa the day before. He knew how strong he was, and she must have been in pain. It looked like her lips were even bleeding. She must have felt wronged. All she did was buy a cake to indulge in, but she could not even have any.
