âMom, I apologize.
Iâm just worried about you.
â
Noemi glared at him but turned to Selina with a softer expression.
âItâs always better to have a daughter.
If only Selina were my daughter.
Then Iâd have two daughters, which would make me twice as happy.
â
Selina smiled, âAuntie, I thought you always considered me as your own daughter.
â
Deanna, following the exchange, chimed in with a smile, âYes, Mom.
If you let my brother marry Selina, youâll have another daughter.
â
Upon hearing Deannaâs words, Brian frowned and responded, âDeanna, thatâs not appropriate.
Iâm still married.
â
Deanna appeared genuinely surprised, âDidnât you mention that you had divorced?â
âI havenât.
â
âYou havenât? Why not?â Noemi asked, her expression mirroring Deannaâs surprise.
âBecause I donât want to divorce,â Brian clarified.
Deanna turned to him curiously.
âWhy the change of heart? Havenât you always wanted to distance yourself from that unattractive woman?â
âYes, Brian! Your grandmother certainly made a poor match for you,â
Noemi added in an exasperated tone.
Brianâs face hardened.
âMom, Deanna, Rosalynn is a good woman.
Iâve decided to give our relationship another try.
â
âWhat? Brian, are you feeling alright? You and Selina belong together.
No matter how decent Rosalynn might be, she doesnât hold a candle to Selina.
â Deanna positioned herself protectively next to Selina.

Selina, though secretly thrilled, maintained a neutral expression.
âDeanna, thatâs not fair.
Iâve met Rosalynn.
Sheâs far from unattractive.
â
Unimpressed, Deanna retorted, âRegardless, she will never be as attractive as you, Selina.
Are you still single?â
Selinaâs eyes sparkled.
âYes, Iâm single.
â
âWell, then.
You two ought to be together,â Deanna stated with an air of finality.
Brian shot her a warning look.
âDeanna, thatâs enough.
