The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 305 ~SCARLETT~

“What were you doing with Alaric and his wife today?” I ask Clara.

She’d just gotten home from the academy. I hated not knowing what was happening in her life because I was too busy falling for Carter. I wanted to fix that.

“I volunteered to be their guide for the day.” She answers me.

“But they know every inch of that place, at least Alaric does.” I point out. “What were they even doing there?”

She looks a little nervous as she says, “It turns out that Alaric will be one of my professors. He’s starting next month. His wife is also going to be working there. He got the job for her as well.”

“Really?” I ask in disbelief. “What is his wife like? She’s absolutely beautiful.”

Clara looks offended by my words for some reason. I’m not sure why.

“She is very beautiful.” She agrees. “But I sensed some tension between the two of them. Alaric was sweet to her the entire time, but she was a little harsh with him.”

“Harsh with him?” I ask, surprised. I always thought they had a good marriage. So far, everyone I thought were in a perfect relationship was a lie.

She nods, “she criticized everything he did. She didn’t even thank him for getting her that job. She acted like he didn’t do anything for her even though we all know she wouldn’t have gotten it if he hadn’t arranged it.”

“That’s crazy,” I whisper. “I never knew their marriage was like that. I thought Nicole was a sweet girl.”

shrugged her shoulders, “Maybe she was having a bad day, and that’s why she was behaving like that. I
