章節 524: Honesty (2)

"None of your conversations with my wife has gone well. Why should I wake her up for this?" Edgar asked. He didn't trust Melanie would have anything good to say to Alessandra so it was pointless to wake her up. For all he knew, Melanie could just be acting like she cared in front of her husband.

Lewis twisted his hat. "I assure you that this one will go well," he said.

"Really?" Edgar feigned surprise. "The other times were bad because you weren't here to keep an eye on your wife? That doesn't sound convincing. Alessandra is tired and if you make me wake her just for you to get nowhere-"

"It won't be like the other times," Melanie promised.

Edgar wanted to tell Melanie that he didn't care for her promise. He looked ahead at the gates wide open. He could just go inside and leave the two of them outside, but if Alessandra were to find out that her mother had come here, she would have his head with how snappy she had become.
