Chapter 82 - She's My Wife.

"Oh... Isn't this my little darling, This time I like you for bringing Zian back!". Mr. Robert said while glancing at Diane then carrying Zian into his arms

Mr. Ricard is very happy to see Zian.

"If there is a chance I will always bring Zian to you, grandpa". Diane said with a smile.

Mr. Ricard immediately nodded, pleased to hear Diane's answer.

"Michael, why did you bring this girl here?". Suddenly Michael's father voice echoed and broke the joy that was felt by Mr. Ricard.

"Michael, what are you doing honey, there are a lot of guests here". Said Mrs. Anggi while looking at Sophia sharply.

"Actually what is this and who is this girl?". Clara's mother asked angrily while pointing disdainfully at Sophia.

"It turns out that you really are a seducer, it's not enough that you tease Mr. Larry, now you are actually flirting with my sister's future husband". Olivia shouted which made things worse. 

"Hi girl, watch your mouth before you regret it". Larry lost his composure at Olivia's words. Therefore he spontaneously defended Sophia.

"It seems that you are not welcome in this family, how dare you interfere and yell at my son!" Clara's father said, looking at Larry scornfully.

Mr. Ricard and his wife just realized that Larry was among them. They immediately reacted because they had never seen Larry or Charles.

Actually Larry looks similar to Mr. Ricard when he was young, he seemed to look in the mirror when he saw Larry's face.

Indeed, Mr. Ricard missed his grandson, but prestige overcame that feeling. Therefore he was silent when he saw Larry.

Unlike Mrs. Ricard who looks like he is holding back tears because she wants to hug her grandson, but she doesn't dare to move beside her husband.

Larry looked down when he heard Clara's mother's words then he backed away behind Michael. 

Meanwhile, the elder of the Clara family was furious and spoke up. 

"Mr. Walton... Is this how your grandson treats mine? He brought another girl to our big family dinner, what a shame?".

Michael's father was getting more and more furious with the chaos that was happening, he felt very embarrassed in front of the two big families. 

"Michael... Please get rid of this girl! Don't let our two families get into a fight!". Clara said pleadingly.

Everyone sympathized with Clara and sneered at Michael and Sophia.

"Clara's right! Michael, you have to get this shameless woman out of here immediately! Don't let your friendship with Clara's father be destroyed just because of this woman!". Shouted Michael's father while pointing disdainfully at Sophia.

Clara's family looks down on Sophia even more, while Clara and Olivia are satisfied to see Sophia being hated by everyone.

"If I were Sophia, I might strangle myself out of shame, she's really pitiful, who told her to challenge my sister". Olivia whispered while grinning at Sophia.

Hearing Olivia's words, Clara just smiled slyly at Sophia. Clara knew that tonight she would be the winner because she knew very well that Michael couldn't go against his parents' wishes. 

Meanwhile, Sophia felt very uncomfortable because she didn't have any preparations for this situation. Michael didn't tell her beforehand either, she wanted to cry but she struggled to hold it in. 

Mrs. Anggi approached and squeezed both of Sophia's hands while saying softly, "Shopia, I'm sorry! But it seems that your presence made this event a mess. So, I beg you, go away!".

Sophia sneered in her heart seeing Mrs. Anggi in front of the crowd. Sophia knew that Mrs. Anggi just wanted to take Michael's sympathy.

Therefore, Sophia couldn't stand it anymore. She immediately nodded and turned around.

But her steps stopped when Michael, who had been calm all this time, pulled her hand and hugged her to stay by his side.

"She is my wife!".

Hearing Michael's confession, everyone in the room was stunned, and the worst expressions there were Olivia and Clara.

Suddenly Zian got off Mr. Ricard's arms and ran towards Sophia. Zian smiled and spread his hand towards Shipia. Instantly, Sophia immediately lowered her head and hugged Zian with a big smile.

Seeing Zian smiling at Sophia, they all became confused. Likewise with Diane.

Diane was surprised to see her son, who rarely spoke let alone smiled, was so close to a foreign woman. Does this make sense?

"Honey... Take a look! Zian is so close to Sophia and he looks happy!". Said Mrs. Anggi who couldn't contain her joy. Instantly she forgot about the problem that had just happened. 

After that, Zian walked towards his grandmother as he said. "Grandma... Please don't yell at Aunt Sophia because she's a good person!".

Hearing Zian say that, everyone was shocked because Zian had grown up and started to understand adult interactions.

"What kind of joke is this? Isn't your family playing with my family?". Asked Clara's father who was getting angry because he felt that he was being played with.

"Diane... Please bring your child into the room first because he can't be in this situation!". Said Mr. Ricard is worried about Zian's mentality.

"Yes". Diane answered obediently, after that she took Zian into her room.

After Diane brought Zian in, Mrs. Anggi felt a headache seeing the tension that occurred because everything was outside her plan.

"Let's sit down first!". Michael invited everyone to sit in the living room.

Sophia and Larry sat close to Michael, they all sat down obediently because Michael's aura was able to make them unable to move or oppose his words.

"Michael, now explain to us all what you just said!". Michael's father said while looking savagely at Michael and Sophia.

"Michael... You don't have to embarrass your family like this! If you really don't like our engagement, you can talk to me nicely." Clara started crying and hugged her mother. 

"Honey, don't cry anymore, I will seek justice for you!". Clara;s mother turned to Mrs. Anggi cynically after trying to calm Clara.

"Mrs. Anggi, I'm disappointed in you! You told me that Michael accepted Clara so she held this dinner, but in reality why is it like this?". Asked Clara's mother curtly.

"I really don't know all this, what I said yesterday also includes my own conclusion when I found out Michael wanted us to have dinner together". Mrs. Anggi tried to explain the situation.

"Michael, don't embarrass the Waltons! Now explain in detail who this woman is!" His grandfather also lost his temper so he tried to urge Michael.

Michael fixed his seat and he gently glanced at Sophia then smiled and took her hand. 

"She is my legal wife, the woman I love the most. I married her 8 years ago". Michael said honestly.

Michael's explanation was like a ticking time bomb in the room, his loud voice echoing throughout the living room. 

"Mr. Walton, what is this, you lied to us? You let my daughter be humiliated, you don't value our friendship". Clara's father said in a high pitched voice. 

Clara's face turned gloomy, her breathing frantic and her body shaking. Michael planted a bomb right in her heart that made her feel like she was going crazy. She couldn't take it anymore and stood up to vent her emotions regardless of her image, for her, Michael was the love of her life. 

"Shopia, damn girl, why did you take Michael from me? I've loved him since we were in elementary school, you vile woman". Clara screamed in a rage, but her mother quickly grabbed her and held her before she embarrassed herself even more. 

"Is this how the Walton family treats their best friend? We don't accept it and we will leave. Therefore from today our friendship ends here!". Clara's mother said angrily and lost control.

"Please don't be like this! We've been friends for a very long time, it's really my fault for not being able to educate my son". Michael's father felt hopeless and guilty so he pleaded like a beggar in front of Clara's extended family.

Clara's father stood up from his seat with a ghastly expression. He then said, "Walton, I will consider our friendship, if Michael agrees to divorce this woman and continue his engagement with Clara, how?".

Mrs. Anggi and Michael's father returned to light when they heard an offer from Clara's father.

After that, Michael's father turned to Michael and said, "Michael, right now you apologize to Clara and tell her you will divorce this woman and resume your engagement!".
