“I know you’re in a bad mood. As your mother, the last thing I want is to give you unneeded pressure, but don’t you think it’s strange that she agreed to it so easily when she was fully against it before the accident?”
Carle’s chest tightened.
He was in denial. He knew the answer… But he just couldn’t bring himself to face the truth.
“Mom, I don’t want to talk about it.”
Holly sighed. Seeing that he was distressed about the entire thing, she decided to keep her thoughts to herself. She patted him on the shoulder. “I won’t say another word. You need to relax. Don’t overthink it.”
In the end, Holly still couldn’t tell him how she felt about it.
But how could she sit by and watch her son suffer? She was afraid that her son would fall too deep into this to pull himself out.
…
Meanwhile, two more were people paying close attention to what was trending at the moment.
It was Linda and her mother.
The both of them sat staring at the phone in the room. Linda’s hand was trembling.
She was furious!
Rose feared Linda would do something drastic. She quickly spoke up, “There is no way this is real. You know how standoffish Gareth is. He would never beg Elisa to remarry him. This is obviously fake news. It’s completely possible Elisa made this up to set you off.”
Linda gritted her teeth and glared at the phone. “There’s no smoke without fire. There might be some exaggeration, but something must have happened!” She fumed.
