Conflict (1)
"You have never met his mother, right? She will never accept you as her daughter-in-law. Are you listening to me?" Jennifer questioned after time passed but Alessandra had not responded to her. "Are you ignoring me?"
Alessandra hummed a tune as she was finished looking around the room. She was curious about the other room with accessories.
Not waiting for Alfred to return, Alessandra walked toward the door where she would have to pass by Jennifer. Alessandra walked further to the side to create as much distance as she could between her and Jennifer to avoid conflict.
Unfortunately, Jennifer did not have the same thought in mind as she stepped to the side to block Alessandra from leaving.
