Again, she got it all wrong

Two days later.

"No Alfredo you can't tell me you have sold this place. You know how much this place means to us. I also know how much you cherish this place. How the hell will you just throw all that away?

What if the person you sold it to decides to remodel this place or worse, destroy this place and use it for a football park or something," Eleanor was fuming with anger. This was the first time she had raised her voice at Alfredo.

He winced at her words, he knew how she sounded and it broke him. Her eyes got teared up and Alfredo was scared to look into them. She looked defeated and unwilling to accept what he had told her. On top of it, he had made her promise him she would keep it a secret.

"Things changed when you were away. I had to sell this place for reasons known to me," while Alfredo spoke those words to her, he found it absurd himself but he had to go on with the lies.
