Nelson's Pov

The room fell dead silent, my eyes leaving my sister and falling on her surprised face of Melissa.

"Alright" Anabelle muttered getting up to her feet, she placed a hand on Melissa's lap, her face filled with a soft smile, "I will be back later" she noted, gave the maid a sign, "Clean this up once she is done with her tea, for now, let's go, you will have to come back later"

Saying this, together with the maid, I watched Anabelle walk out of the room leaving me and Melissa alone. Melissa didn't look pleased that I cut short their discussion but the thoughts I had buried in my head ever since her attack couldn't get off my mind.

"You shouldn't have done that, '' Melissa said, breaking the silence between us.

"I need us to talk"

"Why can't it wait for later? I and your sister were having a good time and you just decided to ruin it with your presence" she muttered looking so displeased.

"My presence ruined it?"

"Of course Nelson, I don't know what you want to discuss with me
