My Identities Were Revealed After Marriage novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30

The sound of footsteps drew their attention, and they turned to see Levy Anthony entering the room with a woman by his side, who was presumed to be his wife, the less favored and less educated daughter of the Smith family.

The expressions on their faces changed, particularly that of Levy's grandparents. They wondered why the Smith family would offer their uncultured daughter as a daughter-in-law. They believed such an arrangement might be acceptable for the elderly, but they couldn't comprehend why the Smith family would agree to it.

Briella, Levy's aunt and the one who held the strongest resentment towards him in the Smith family, spoke up sarcastically, saying, "Well, well, well, look who we have here. The heir of the Anthony family with his wife. What a warm welcome from the younger generation. We've been here for about eight hours, and you were all out doing your own things. You don't even respect your grandparents. It's their first day back in City A after eight years, and you couldn't even wait for them to come before going off to play."

In response to this, Sandra, who had been silent by Levy's side, spoke up, her voice filled with determination. "Lady, I don't know who you are, nor do I care to know. But I want you to understand that my husband and I are not your servants, standing guard to welcome you. This is your home as much as it is our home, so there's no need for such a welcome. And never use that kind of language and tone with me. I'm not a patient person."

After speaking her mind, Sandra positioned herself beside Levy, adopting an innocent and composed expression, as if she had not uttered those words herself.

Levy's grandparents reacted with disapproval. "Good, very good. The Smith family has graciously bestowed upon us their stupid, good-for-nothing, and uneducated daughter. She doesn't even respect her elders," they remarked.

In response, Levy asserted himself, saying, "Grandpa, respect is earned, not given. Sandra is an elder, so she should behave as one. She is my wife, and she deserves respect."

After he said that he continued, “we will talk after you are done with your dinner unless you want to lose your appetite”.

With that, he led Sandra to her room, leaving the rest of the Anthony family perplexed and discontented.

After Sandra and Levy left, the Smith family continued their conversation, albeit with a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. Levy's parents and sister remained silent throughout the exchange, as if detached from the situation.

As they moved to the sitting room after dinner, the Smith family found Sandra and Levy already seated. One by one, they took their seats. Levy proceeded to introduce Sandra to each member of the Anthony family, and Sandra politely greeted them. Only Levy's parents and sister responded to her greetings, while the others seemed indifferent.
