Self-control war

Glory

Charles and I were in the living room patiently waiting for Harald and Candace to talk in their bedroom, but only one of us was really patient there, as I was on edge, afraid of what was going to happen in a few moments. The scenario in which Candace came down the stairs and came to reveal the whole truth to Charles was still screaming in my mind, leaving me with a huge internal panic.

I sipped my chamomile tea, so I could try to calm myself down. I couldn't freak out there, not in front of Charles; he didn't know that the matter involving his son and his daughter-in-law involved me up to my neck, so naturally he would not understand if I freaked out here in front of him; I had to do my best to hold myself together; this chamomile tea had to keep me help in some way; my tranquilizers had to have some effect.

“Is everything okay with you, dear?" Charles asked with a somewhat suspicious and worried look. The wrinkle on his face became more pronounced as he furrowed his eyebrow.
