Chapter 236

Simon's mind began to clear, and in a moment of desperation, he grabbed Elsie by the waist, holding on tightly.

"I was wrong... Elsie, I was wrong! I lost my temper. I didn't mean it! There's been so much going on lately. I wasn't taking it out on you, I—"

"Let go!" Elsie shoved him away and stormed out.
