President’s Sweet Wife

However, to Ally’s surprise, she heard loud discussions in the living room as soon as she entered the house.

“Dad, you see how late it is? I think she won’t come back tonight.”

“Yeah, Zack. With all due respect, you’re too tolerant towards Ally. You may think your tolerance is for her sake. But it's not good for her in the long run. If she keeps acting like this, how can she ever find a man to marry her?”

“Exactly! She doesn’t have any self-respect. She’ll bring shame to our whole family. I feel so humiliated!”

“Alas! Shall I send someone to look for her?”

Standing in the doorway and listening to the grossest insults, Ally was so irked that her lips began to tremble.

She thought indignantly, “How have I been acting like? Why would it affect my prospect of getting married?

“Did I do anything terrible? Why would I disgrace the whole family?”

Ally’s face paled with rage. Then, Sandra, the old maid, walked out of the kitchen and spotted Ally first. She exclaimed, “Miss Ally!”

The discussion in the living room instantly halted.

With her lips pursed, Ally headed into the living room and keenly eyed Lindsey, Angie, Hardy, Mary, and Zack, who was on the sofa.

They were stunned when they saw her come in. Yet, a moment later, they all sneered.

“Gee! Ally, you’re back! I thought you wouldn’t come home tonight!”

Lindsey was still the first one to speak. Her tone carried a heavy note of mockery.

Ally clenched her fists. Seeing that hideous face, she wished she could rush over and tear it up. But her rationality made her hold back that urge. With a cold laugh, she said, “Whether I come back or not is none of your business, is it?”

What she was implying was, “This is my home. I can come and go as I please. Butt out!”

Lindsey snorted and said, “Of course it’s none of my business. I was just standing in Zack’s shoes.”

Ally glanced at Zack.

Zack seemed a little cross. But unlike the others, the look in his eyes said he was not gratified by Ally’s suffering.
