Chapter 60 - The fight

Weeks had passed since Annabelle and Edwards were no longer on speaking terms. While they managed to maintain a facade of normalcy at work, their home life was a different story. Annabelle had taken to ignoring Edwards completely, confining herself to her room whenever she was at home. This icy atmosphere had also seeped into their interactions with Edwards' mother, who had visited the house over the weekend. The tension had become so palpable that even Edwards' mother chose to completely ignore Annabelle's greetings, making her feel more uncomfortable at every opportunity. All these factors had driven Annabelle to retreat to the sanctuary of her room to avoid further problems.
