When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 344

I hadn’t even gotten a chance to speak when Ramona flew into a rage.

She glared at Susan, her face a thunderstorm of fury, “And who exactly gave you the right to kick people out of my house?

“Ramona, it’s okay!”

I felt like an outsider in what was supposed to be a heartwarming family reunion:

My bags were already packed from the morning. I grabbed my suitcase and came back down, Susan escorted me out of the house. Once we were out of Ramona’s earshot, she started speaking with a tone laced with disdain

She clearly didn’t buy it, her eyes darting down to the bracelet on my wrist, “That bracelet, Ramona gave it to you, didn’t she?”

“Yeah.”
