Chapter 419
Loretta spoke with quiet exasperation, but her loyalty was entirely with Nick.
In reality, things were far worse than she let on.
After returning home last night, Arista had been devastated. She’d argued fiercely with George-so fiercely that she even brought up divorce.
After all these years, she’d had enough of his temper. Yet, out of love, duty, and care for the Hunt family, Arista always played the role of the mediator. Only she could soothe George’s stubborn, bull-headed temper.
But seeing her stepson and daughter-in-law treated so crudely felt like the final straw.
Even though George knew his son had endured trauma since childhood, he had deliberately provoked him out of pride and stubbornness. And Khloe had gotten hurt in the process…
Thinking back to the harrowing scenes from last night, Arista’s heart still ached, the memory sending chills down her spine.
When Arista stormed off to her parents’ home in frustration, George finally panicked. Afraid that Loretta and Leon would force him to apologize to Nick, he rushed after her to her parents’ home.
After the morning’s commotion at home, things had quieted down, and Loretta wanted to check on Nick and Khloe. But she assumed Khloe was off work today and spending time with Nick, so she hesitated to contact them too early for fear of disturbing the couple. Khloe had been frightened-Loretta didn’t even know how best
to comfort her.
Now, she decided to call. Partly to check on the young couple, and partly because she wanted to see Khloe
herself.
