The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2847

Madeline's impatience was as chilling as an autumn breeze blowing through the empty branches of an old oak tree.

“You think the folks around here are clueless about what’s going on between me and him? What kind of dad is he anyway? Heck, I don't even know who my real dad is.”

Her voice dripped with sarcasm, and Imogen was feeling so uncomfortable.

“You’re getting too big for your britches, young lady. How dare you talk to your mother like that? Do you think you can just waltz into the Harris family like it's a country club? Falling head over heels for Nolan and thinking you have to marry him. Have you forgotten where you came from? Before we took on the Tanner name, you were a simple Skinner. What makes you think you have the right to marry into their world?

And don't forget, I have been busting her backside trying to make things work for you. What have you done? All you do is dump your problems on me without sparing a thought for how difficult this is. Regina only married into that family because the stars aligned just right...”

“What a pretty way to put it. It was nothing but that man threatening Nolan! Utterly despicable!” Madeline growled.

Imogen could feel her blood boiling; her daughter’s disregard was enough to make her faint.

Her daughter would do anything for a man, and she never realized that the luxurious life she now led was all thanks to her mother's sacrifices.
