#Chapter46
The Ambaram
Boman was a man of few words. Hearing praises for Valentina brought a sense of pride to Arnold. He nodded with a small smile and drank a spoonful of soup. Ila just glared at her flushed daughter, whereas the other daughters-in-law snickered behind their palms. Arthur sat silently and nibbled on small morsels. He has lost his appetite.
/"We are going to have a long chat in your room, young lady, and you are not allowed to step out of this house until you learn your lesson,/" Ila warned a squirming Laila and Arnold bites his lip to not howl in merriment. Boman just removed a thorn from his way. Maybe now the chief will see Belle in a new light. Unfortunately, the old man didn’t say anything but continued his meal as if nothing has happened and after having enough, stood up and disappeared in his office.
