 The night passed cruelly for Kai. 

Yesterday, he'd been so hopeful; confident in thinking that a mother's affection could surpass the congeniality of a wife's duty to her husband. How wrong he was! His soft talks did not work on his mum who was dogged in holding fast to her end of the bargain. Why then did she act like she cared deeply for him?... The other day, when he'd first stepped inside the house, why did she look that way? Thoroughly shaken as if she'd gotten beaten up over an alleged argument she'd lost against his dad? And did she not attest to the fact that she did her best to convince her husband out of his talk? Surely, Kaiden suspected that she did have his back at the time.

So, what's changed? Why was she making him talk so much just so she could spill a part of the information he was much curious to know. After a few more attempts at coercing her to speak, Kaiden decided to let her be.
