Chapter 993:

Louise's face briefly flickered with emotion, but she quickly pulled herself together, bowing her head slightly. “I

understand, Chesney,” she replied, her voice low.

Chesney scowled, setting his pen down with a huff. “Elyse is unbearable these days. She’s beca thorn in my

side. Edward dotes on her so much; she’s a hindrance.” He paused for a moment, his frown deepening.

Now, nicotine was her way of dulling the edges. Her mind drifted back to her high school days—when everyone

around her was obsessed with clubbing, drinking, and smoking. Giving in to peer pressure, she had bought her

first cigarette, intending to try it at home.
