It felt like the whole world was living well, and only he was suffering.
The Bowmans were pretty well-off. So why was he, as the only son, living worse than someone making just a few thousand a month?
Edgar clenched his teeth and slammed the door shut with a loud "bang." A heavy, dark mood filled the room.
Halle turned to look at him. "Busy again today?"
"Watching me work this hard, does it make you feel really proud of yourself?" Edgar threw his suit jacket onto the couch and started to lose his temper.
Halle had already seen how emotional Edgar could get. He also couldn't stand seeing her doing well. He was always assuming the worst about her.
Right now, Halle actually felt a bit of respect for Nina. She had to act as Edgar's emotional trash can every single day.
Of course, it's good to be patient with someone's temper and support each other. But if one person keeps giving and the other never grows, only a saint could accept everything forever.
Halle knew she couldn't do that.
She had no duty to smile and go along with him when she was being attacked for no reason. "If I say I'm proud, you get upset. If I say I'm not proud, you don't believe me. So what do you want me to say? That I'm both proud and not proud?"
Just that one sentence made Edgar's face turn red with anger. He stared at Halle fiercely, his expression almost twisted. After taking a few heavy breaths, he pointed at her and said, "So now that your career is going so well, you look down on me, don't you? I knew it! Halle, you look down on me, right!"
Halle immediately frowned.
"Don't even answer. I already know what you're thinking!" Edgar grabbed his coat and pulled the door open.
The loud slam earlier had woken Hayley. She came downstairs to see what was going on.
She ran into Edgar right as he was about to leave.
"It's so late. Where are you going?"
Edgar was still full of anger. He said through clenched teeth, "The daughter-in-law you like so much looks down on me. What do you think I'm still doing in this house?"
Hayley froze. "How could Halle look down on you?"

Why is half of each of these chapters missing? The story sort of trails off in the middle of the chapter. That’s unfortunate....
