Laurel's POV
Why Miriam choose to be adamant on this issue, still wanting to be with Oscar even when it's obvious that she should leave him, is beyond me.
"I'm always of the school of thought that no man should raise his hands on a woman, no matter what. I always advocate for the imprisonment of men who beat their wives or partners.
Louisa who was too pissed at her refusal to see reasons, and stay away from Oscar, already got angry and left Miriam's place, Blessing already left as well as she had a Bible study to attend. So I was the only one left at Miriam's place.
"Miriam so you still want to marry Oscar? Don't you think you should put things on hold for a while for now?"
"Of course I'm still going to marry him, I love him Laurel, and you don't expect me to leave him because of this? Like I already said, Oscar has never done this before, he doesn't hit me. This is actually the first time he has ever raised his hands on me."
