His Family (6)

***Chapter may contain some triggers in verbal abuse. Reader discretion advised***

After Charles stormed out of his father's home office, he was furious beyond reason. It had always been hard to get through his father from childhood, and that is why he was closest to his mother. How could his father even think that Thalia… his Thalia was dispensable? He was joking!

Charles felt an urgent need to see Thalia and make sure that she was okay. At that time, he felt that he understood her hesitance in coming to his home. Charles wished that they had stayed in their blissful state on campus for a bit. Engagement? They were joking, for he was already engaged to Thalia and had given his all, including his mind and soul, to her.

But then the question remained, 'Why had he not told his parents of the supposed engagement yet?'
