She had only been making casual conversation with Isis , never actually expecting her to agree .

After all , Isis had focused on her family , far removed from the chaos of the world .

Tonight was no 2/4 Chapter 15 Listening to the disconnected line , his chuckled softly That was Athena always so fast paced and full of energy Bat Athena haid gürsseil wrong abosit everything , biswasnt coming back for money or power .

She had finally seen the truth about that worthless man .

And now , for die first time , she was truly in live for herself Meanwhile , at the hotel that the Andersons lived in , chaos reigned .

Adrian had assumed that marrying Layla meant the start of a beautiful , peaceful life .

He had been wrong .

Layla was furious that the Andersons hadnt celebrated their wedding properly .

Not even a simple family dinner .

She ate at the hotels free buffet last night , The Andersons had treated themselves to a luxurious presidential suite at the hotel , while Adrian and Layla were given a standard room Layla instantly undersined this blum difference in treatment was clearly aimed at her .

After all , in a way last night had been her and Adrians wedding night too .

And yet … this was how they treated me .

So perfunctory , so indifferent she thought , her chest tightening with resentment .

Layla made sure Adrian knew exactly how she felt about it by keeping him up all night with complaints .

And when words werent enough , well … Adrian had to work twice as hard to soothe her .

So when the sun rove and Layla was dragging him to pick out furniture , Adrian was already running on fumes .

He had never realized just how many frustrating , exhausting troubles came with living together as a family By the time they reached checkout , his legs were jelly , and his wallet well , his waller was in even worse shape .

Sir , thatll be 150 thousand dollars , the cashier said with a polite smile .

Adnan froze.

Sorry … .

how much ? Adrian swallowed hard and pulled out his phone , dialing Zor .

Mom he said the moment she answered , I need help covering the furniture costs .

Zor sounded genuinely confused .

Furniture ? Why would we pay for that ? We provided the house furnishing it is the brides familys .

responsibility : Zoe scoffed .

Thats how it was when you were enged to Isis .

She bought all the furniture .

Why should it be different now !! Adrian blinked , What ? Adrian had never thought about Layla buying all the furniture .

Adrian looked over at Layla , who was practically glowing with excitement over their future home I cant ask her to pay for it , he said firmly .

I love her .

I wont let her carry that burden Zoe let out an unimpressed huff .

So , what ? Marriage doesnt work that way .

Adrian .

Before he could argue , Layla walked over , curiosity written all over her face .

Worried that she might overhear , he quickly improvised , Well , got it .

Lets do it in a couple of days then he said hurriedly before hanging up Layla asked in a soft voice , Whats wrong ? That was my mom , he said , forcing a simile .

Theres a bit of a delay with my companys finances this month , so we might need to wait a couple of days before buying everything Layla tilted her head , considering .

Then she smiled .

Thats fine ! I dont mind waiting As long as it is those particular pieces of furniture ! I loved them ! Layla thought .

Adrian exhaled in relief Tayla in so understanding Last night must have just been frustration talking , he thought .

Zoe wasnt nearly as pleased .

Still , Adrian had said he got it so she thought the matter was settled .
