NovelOnlineChapter 1712 Melinda was speechless.
Lilin moved closer and said, "Daddy, you shouldn't blMommy. | also think you favor Sophia over me!” Adam lifted his head to look at her. "You ungrateful child. Don't | spoil you as well?" Lilin put down her half-eaten burger and crossed her arms. "You do! But only when Sophia isn't around. You'll do anything she says as soon as she appears and try to drive a wedge between us!" Adam recognized that he favored Sophia most of the time, but it was not because he loved her more than Lilin! It was only because Sophia lost her mother when she was so little, so he thought he would make it up to her.
"Lilin, how can you say that about your sister? Sophia can be a drama queen sometimes, but she doesn't try to drive a wedge between us! You're not allowed to talk like that about your sister anymore!" said Adam sternly.

Lilin simply rolled her eyes until she could not roll them anymore. "See! You're doing it again. You're so blinded to the truth whenever it comes to Sophia! You know what | think? I think the reason her personality is so twisted is because you've spoiled her rotten!" Melinda patted Lilin's shoulder. "That's enough, Lilin." Lilin pouted and sat a little further away.
Adam looked at his wife. "Mel, can you chwithnow? | love both Sophia and Lilin the same." Melinda looked back at him. The anger in her eyes had lessened somewhat, and there was even sregret.
"Brian, I'm touched that you've done so much for Lilin. I'm sorry. | shouldn't have blamed you without first listening to your explanation,” said Melinda.
Adam breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to hold her hand while saying, "Then let's get you packed up so we can all go htogether." However, Melinda refused to hold his hand. She shook her head and said," I've thought about a lot of things these past few days.
Even though we've cleared up the misunderstanding, nothing's going to change if Lilin and | go back with you now. The whole cycle is just going to repeat itself. Sophia is never going to accept Lilin or me, and you'll always be stuck in the middle. I'm really tired, and I'm sure you are too.
"So | think we should just give up. | want Lilin's childhood to be filled with happy memories, not fights after fights. It's enough for US to know that you've secretly invested in businesses and properties under her name. You can give those assets to Sophia or donate them all away if you want. Just know that Lilin and | are never going back hwith you anymore." Adam did not understand. He did not understand why Melinda still refused to go hwith him after he had explained everything.
"Mel, | can change. You just have to tellwhat you wantto change about myself... Please don't do this..." Melinda shook her head. "You don't need to change.” 1

It was true. The biggest barrier to their relationship was Sophia, and he would never get rid of her just to please Melinda. They had had countless fights over the years because of her, and she was really, really tired
It was not easy being a stepmother.
She could not scold Sophia out of fear of being labeled an evil stepmother Thus, she would rather raise Lilin on her own. At least that way, they would not have to live under Sophia's rule.
Adam frowned. "Mel! Just what the heck do you want me to do?’ "Nothing, | don't need you to do anything. | just think it'll be best for US to get a divorce."
