Susan's face turned purple with rage as she stepped forward, forcibly separating Liam and Monica.
"What are you yelling about? My daughter is about to get engaged!"
How could Liam pass up this golden opportunity to impress the wealthy Nortons?
From his pocket, he produced the marriage license he and Monica had obtained while he was in prison.
I couldn't help but sigh in amazement. Monica's infatuation with Liam had gone so far as to secure a marriage license even while he was behind bars.
"This is our marriage license. Monica is my wife. Mrs. Norton, you can't just marry Monica off to someone else just because I'm poor! I love her, and I'll do my utmost to take care of Monica and the child. Please don't marry Monica off to someone else!"
It had been a long time since Monica had heard such loving words from Liam, and she was instantly moved to tears.
"Mom, all I want is to be with Liam. I don't want my child to have to call someone else his father. The child needs the love of his real father."
Ethan and I exchanged glances, both of us in good spirits as we watched the unfolding drama.
