Capítulo 443: Aldric Is On His Own

The ride back to Aldric's place was filled with an awkward silence. It wasn't a unnerving type of silence, just one that felt out of place. Aldric knew that Maxi typically enjoyed these rides and would use them as an opportunity to engage in naughty behavior in the carriage. Since leaving his mother's place, they had engaged in small talk and jokes, but it all felt forced, as if they were just avoiding the inevitable. Issac was eagerly waiting for Maxi to ask about Anya's assault on him.

He should have expected that his family wouldn't give him privacy, especially when they knew the conversation was important. They had eavesdropped on his conversation, and he suspected it was Kayla's idea, with the others following suit. It had taken a lot of pleading to stop his mother from storming over to Anya's place and confronting her about the assault.
