Claire's POV
"I'm so sorry, mum.. grandma. I promise it was supposed to be just for a short while." I pleaded, tears brimmed my eyes as I tried to make them see reason.
Grandma doesn't move, doesn't speak and somehow that was harder to bear than her shouting at me. My mum also doesn't speak. She just stood still, thinking. What she was thinking, I couldn't tell.
I knew this was bound to happen sooner or later but I would have hoped later would have come after I'd completed the terms of the contract.
I'd taken my time to explain every single detail to both my mum and my grandma and they weren't saying anything. I explained how the offer came and how Louis and I came to an agreement to keep it secret. How I got to pay the mortgage.
I'd explained everything, Louis just sat still beside me. He was probably feeling awkward because I kept explaining things like he wasn't there.
Finally my mum spoke..
