#Chapter 166: You Can’t Please Everyone

Almara’s Pov The ride back is tense. Before we left, I told my parents that something came up and I had to go home early, but that I would be back. They weren’t thrilled, I fact I think they have more disdain towards Arthur than they did before. I keep replaying our conversation in my head. They asked if this has anything to do with Graces teacher and I getting dinner, and I wanted to tell them no, but my face already gave it all away. “Do you really have to leave because of this?” They asked, not caring that Arthur’s feelings are sincerely hurt. “My marriage comes first.” I told them matter-of-fact. “I promise we’ll visit more often. I really enjoyed my time here.” My mother’s shoulders dropped. “Then why won’t you stay here?” She lifted her eyes up to meet Arthurs. “You both can stay for a while.” I told my mother that all of our things are back at Arthurs. We can’t be living between parents house. In fact we need to get back to buying a house, but I didn’t mention that part.
