"What now?" Priscilla stopped brushing her hair for a moment when her bedroom door opened and Edmund walked in. She expected him to scold her for dismissing his mother.
"I'm sorry for everything I put you through. I told my mother I won't fight the divorce and I asked her to not speak ill of you. We both know that won't happen but I at least want you to know that I told her. I will be returning to our house in White town once I finish my business so it would only be fair that I get that house," said Edmund.
Priscilla was surprised by how he had finally joined her in wanting to separate. "I did not like that town enough to want that house so you can have it. I won't be petty and try to own it. You need to tell the servants to send your belongings there because I have been telling all the maids to send your things to hell so I have no clue where they planned on sending them."
