"For someone who wants honesty from me, you love to abuse me when it's not the honesty you want to hear. Stay single, Eleanor. Marriage hurts," Edgar said, looking at the spot on his hand where Alessandra pinched him. He suffered many accidental and on-purpose wounds from her during their marriage. "You should kiss where you injured me."
"Do not listen to him. Why are you here interrupting my time with Eleanor? Are you bored because I told you not to work? Read a book or keep Alfred company. Anything to take your negativity away from this room," Alessandra said.
