"Kyle, haven't you learned your lesson yet? Have you forgotten about what happened with your parents? Back then, your mother also said she loved your father, but she could turn away and leave. And Mabel, too, she kept saying she loved you, but when it truly came to making a choice, she didn't stand by your side! Can you really not see this, or are you still deceiving yourself?!" Francine criticized, purposefully touching on what he was most sensitive about.
But what disappointed her was his pair of dark eyes, gazing at her with an indescribably cold glare, as if ready to spill blood. "If you say another word, I can make sure you never utter a sound again."
She paused, recognizing it as both a warning and a threat.
She had more things to say, but now they were all stuck in her throat, and she found herself too scared to speak.
"Get out!" he demanded.
Francine's body shivered suddenly, and she retreated from the room in disgrace.
