They didn't want to include you like family. Leave them be. Don't be a saint," he bent and kissed her right to the amazement of everyone around.
"Lovely wife, just think about your true family! Don't care about others!" he pinched her cheek slightly.
Uh… I was the one thinking about my great-grandpa while you… Ugh! Whatever!
"Yes, husband," Jerlina smiled widely.
She's faced struggles all her life and every time she has faced them alone. She had people who comfort her through it and those who congratulated her after she succeeded and those who consoled her after she lost.
