With her few belongings packed in a single luggage, Melody was ready to leave.
As she descended the stairs, Helen grabbed her arm and asked, "Melody, have you lost your mind? Have you no shred of self-respect?! With your looks, finding a decent guy should be easy. Why stoop to being a home-wrecker?"
"Mom, is that how you really see me? Just someone who'd willingly become someone's mistress?"
Helen was taken aback by the unfamiliar resentment in Melody's gaze. Melody had never looked at her like that, so she could not help but wonder, 'How could she look at me like this? Is it because she found a sugar daddy that she thinks she doesn't need us anymore?'
While Helen was momentarily distracted, Melody freed herself from Helen's grasp and briskly descended the stairs with her luggage. As she reached the ground floor, Ethan and Wendy crossed her path. Wendy, eyeing Melody with the suitcase, could not resist a mocking laugh. "What did I tell you, Dad? Melody is someone's mistress now. Look, she's even taking her luggage. She must be moving out to be someone's sugar baby!"
Wendy's taunt stirred up a wave of deep displeasure in Ethan.
"Melody, must you drag the Sander family's name through the mud?" he scolded sternly. "If I had known your mom was pregnant with a daughter back then, I would've never allowed her to go through with the pregnancy!"
These words were nothing new to Melody. She was constantly reminded that she was never the child born under the hopeful expectations of Ethan and Helen. Melody might never have been born if it were not for their mistaken belief that Helen was carrying a son.
Over the years, she had borne such comments in silence. However, she did not want to endure it any longer. Melody could not find it in herself to forgive or tolerate Wendy's actions from last night, coupled with Ethan and Helen's unwavering support for Wendy.
"I'm indeed moving out. I came back to pack my things and also to talk to you about something."
Sensing that Melody might reveal the truth, Wendy began to panic. She quickly exchanged a glance with Helen, signaling her to handle Melody.
Helen promptly understood Wendy's message. After all, Ethan had not uttered a single word to her the entire night because of Melody's late-night escapade. Helen did not want to further irk Ethan over their wayward daughter's actions.
"If you've already decided to move out, why bother sharing anything with us? If you respected our opinions, you wouldn't have ended up as someone's mistress!"
