MARRIED TO MY CUTE WIFE

Longing for a Reason

Old Master Cross suddenly stood up and threw the cane he had just replaced onto the ground. He said in a dignified manner, “Shut up, Aria Cross. Apologize to your sister-in-law!”

“I didn’t do anything wrong. She was the one who scolded me first. Why should I apologize?” Aria immediately said. She had deliberately avoided quarreling and did not step out of the door. She did not see anyone all day long, but Sarah Cross had brought up her parents. She did not want to stir up trouble, but Sarah Cross just had to antagonize her.

ARIA considered everyone in the CROSS family. As her husband, Dominic was completely indifferent to the matter and acted like a spectator. Edward and Sarah had been husband and wife for many years. Naturally, he would protecting his wife. Old Master Cross and Sarah had been in-laws for many years. As an outsider who had just married into the Cross family, how could she get justice?

Until now, Aria still could not figure out how she had offended Sarah so badly. The two of them had become arch-enemies.

Old Master Cross could not bear to see Aria argue with him. “Aria Cross, look at how restless the house has been since you moved in. You better reign in your personality. I’ve indulged you long enough.”

Aria responded, “Indulged? You’re really indulging me, but I don’t care.”

Old Master Cross said, “Aria, do you understand what respect is?”

Aria said, “The prerequisite for respect is to be respected. I want to ask, do you all respect me?” Old Master Cross immediately asked, “You think we don’t respect you?”

“How do you respect me?” Aria’s question made the Cross family members fall silent. For a moment, no one answered.

After a while, Old Master Cross said slowly, “The rules of the Ji family are reasonable. Now that you are a member of the Cross family, you must obey our family’s rules and apologize to your sister-in-law.”

When Sarah heard that Old Master Cross was still on her side, her face was full of pride. She looked at Aria provocatively.

Aria looked straight at Sarah and said to her patiently, “I’m sorry.”

“Since the Cross family’s rules are based on appearances, then I would like to ask when sister-in-law will apologize to my parents. After all, this is what the oldest person in the Cross family said.” Aria tried her best to quell her anger. She spoke slowly too.

......

Sarah said, “You’re simply delusional. Your mother is younger than me. It’s impossible for me to apologize to her.”

Aria said, “The Cross family’s rules are based on appearances. Isn’t that a matter of appearances too? Age? Then, let’s put aside Old Master Cross’s previous instructions. Just based on the fact that I’m already married to Dominic, my parents are of the same seniority as Old Master Cross. The last time my parents came to visit, sister-in-law did not treat them well. If that’s the case, didn’t sister-in-law violate the rules of the Cross family? The Cross family is strict. Sister-in-law must abide by the rules of the family! Father, do you think I’m right?”

Everyone in the family knew that they wanted to treat the previous incident as a small matter, but Aria was the only one who was unwilling to do so. She had said these words to Old Master Cross’s face now to intentionally embarrass him. In any case, they had already shed all pretense of cordiality. Aria no longer cared.

Seeing that Old Master Cross was silent, Aria asked again, “Dad, did I say something wrong?”

“Scram, all of you, Scram!” Old Master Cross roared angrily.

When Aria was about to speak again, the butler gave a look to the few servants. Someone immediately held onto Aria and brought her out of the dining area. The atmosphere was already ice cold.

Sarah did not dare to breathe, but dominic did not move at all. His fingers tapped the table rhythmically. Mayor Edward knew his younger brother’s temperament very well. He was afraid that he would cause any more trouble, so he said, “dominic, quickly go and see aria.”

Dominic’s gaze swept to the entrance of the restaurant. He quickly retracted his gaze and then looked at everyone at the table. He sneered and said, “Don’t you have to look at the owner before hitting a dog? Bullying my wife, isn’t that just slapping my face? Sister-in-law, is what I said reasonable?”

Sarah did not say anything. Dominic’s gaze was too fierce, so she did not dare to meet his gaze.

Dominic spoke again. “Sister-in-law, I saw you humiliate my wife just now and talk a lot. Now, why have you become mute in front of me?”

Sarah said, “dominic, that’s what she deserves. Just listen to her. She really can’t compare to mary.”

Dominic looked at Old Master Cross and said, “I wonder if my in-laws, the in-laws of dominic, CEO of Cross Corporation, are worthy of an apology from the mayor’s wife.”
