Chapter 6: Dylan’s growing uneasiness.
Dylan's frustration grew as Erica and Gianna's words swirled around him. The idea of Ava, the woman who had been nothing but submissive for the past year, suddenly becoming aggressive didn't sit right with him. His eyes narrowed in disbelief.
"Are you sure she did that?" he asked, confused.
"Yes," Erica confirmed. "She pushed me and argued with me."
"I understand she was upset," Gianna added. "But she shouldn't have pushed Erica."
"Where is she?" Erica snapped. "Call her. I want to have a few words with her."
"She is not here," Dylan muttered with growing annoyance. "She is at her father's place."
"What?" Erica exclaimed exaggeratedly, pretending to be shocked. "You are back from the business trip, and she is not home! How can she do that to you? Call her now—she needs to come back!"
Dylan scratched his brow, their voices grating his nerves. "Let her stay with her father. Maybe she needs a break," he said, his tone clipped. "I'm heading to the office."
Without waiting for their response, he walked out.
Both women gaped at his departing form with disbelief.
Erica fumed, "Is he getting soft toward Ava? What's happening?"
