Sophia's sudden interjection caught everyone off guard, especially the three elders, except for Alice.
She had always allied herself with those three, advancing and retreating together, but today she was repeatedly speaking up for Alice.
"Sophia! Don't speak out of turn, Alice is married now, as parents we shouldn't voice our opinions so freely." Fearful that his in-laws would be displeased, Christopher quickly intervened to prevent Sophia from speaking further.
Sophia pouted, wanting to argue back, but when she saw Isla's expression turn somewhat sour, she reluctantly restrained herself from saying more.
"Dad! I'm married, but I'm still your and Mom's daughter." Alice glanced at the frustrated Sophia, unable to hold back, she retorted to Christopher, hoping to express her displeasure to Isla.
She actually had no issues with her mother-in-law, Isla, and had always liked her, but today, hearing Isla's words, she felt differently about her mother-in-law.
