Meanwhile, sitting quietly in their bedroom in the townhouse, Joanne turned to Stephen and smiled at him, saying "You must be kidding me. I knew my grandfather was p*ssed with what happened and ready to destroy Yasmin's family, but your father? That is a surprise given his attitude."

"Not really. Family pride in this case has outweighed the feud for a short period of time. How would it look if he did not act to support his daughter-in-law, even though she is the enemy."

Joanne seeing the serious look on Stephen's face burst into laughter before leaning back slightly and saying "Really?"

"Absolutely. My father for all his faults is protective of family. But I want to stop talking about out family. My wife, how are you?"

"After last night, feeling invigorated."

Joanne paused and observed the look on Stephen's face, smiled and said, "Oh you mean after being hit by Yasmin."
