Beyond the Divorce

Arnold pushed the bedroom door open, peeked his head inside, and impatiently exclaimed, "Hey! I was wondering where you went! Why are you here? Don't you jeopardize my sister's pregnancy! Should you be here? Are you blind?" Poppy had a way out. She immediately smiled obsequiously at both of us and said, "Sorry!"

With that, she pretended to stay calm and quickly left.

Arnold didn't mince his words. "Why are you running around everywhere?"

Then he closed the bedroom door gently, and Ivanna snorted coldly. "I can't believe her!"

I stared at the furious Ivanna and couldn't help but giggle. "You're way too blunt!"

"Blunt? Let me tell you, Chloe, if you give her an inch, she'll take a mile!" Ivanna lay back down and said fiercely, "If I don't deal with her, I'll regret it!"

"I admire your straightforwardness." I shook my head and lay down, too.
