"I didn't mean to, I was just angry..." Alex retorted.
Emma argued back, looking hurt and wronged. Alex looked deeply at her, then turned and walked toward the bedroom.
Emma was taken aback, then angrily shouted, "Alex, come back here!"
"Tonight, you'll sleep in the guest room," Alex said, leaving Emma behind as he slammed the door shut.
In the room, Claire was comforting Leander and coaxing him to sleep. Alex lay on the bed, his mind in turmoil. At that moment, he felt exhausted but uneasy deep down. Claire's reaction just now was too calm, which was unexpected to Alex.
This woman never wanted to suffer losses, so why would she swallow her pride at a time like this?
