Alexander gulped as he didn't know what to say. He would not be able to tell his wife that he sold their daughter to Rhett because of the money or tell her that he married her off to Rhett because he knew what he was doing.
None of this would make sense to Elisha if he said anything about it.
"I asked a question, Alex! Why did you do it?" She demanded.
"I have no choice, Elisha." He answered with a low voice, his earlier commanding voice was gone as he felt powerless under his wide scrutinizing gaze.
"Bullshit Alex! Total bullshit! You didn't do this because you have no choice, you did this to spite me. You did this to tell me that you are still over my daughter and me even when you drove us from your house! You got my daughter married without informing me Alex, I…I wasn't even there for her when she needed me. I wasn't there for her when she didn't know who to turn to and you caused this, you caused all of this." She pinged accusingly at him.
