章 145: Sugarcoated Lies

"And please, just please, stop blaming Daime. It is not his fault for whatever is happening. We never knew that Aiden will react like this after finding out that Daime is missing. 

So, stop putting pressure on me or anyone in this family especially Aiden."

Primo is about to go out of the room when Grandmama grabs his arm and makes his face her.

"But what about the tradition?"

Her statement made Primo's lips form a thin line. This is when Primo knows that he is about to say something that he doesn't mean to say. 

"Tradition? Which tradition you are talking about? Was it the tradition that is torturing your own family to make them realize that being independent is hard? 

Or the one where you keep pressuring us to get married to those we don't love because you only care about power and money?"

Grandmama remains silent as Primo asks her those questions. She has an option to shut up or answer Primo with more lies that she can give.
