Edward Cullen/pretending he didn't hear anything
"How dare you speak to me—"
"How dare I? You've got to be kidding me." Bella laughs. "You think just because your bank account is loaded that you're so much better than the rest of the world, and it couldn't be further from the truth."
"So, it is about money."
"For the love— This has nothing to do with money, you spoiled, rich bitch."
Dad coughs on his brandy.
My smile is almost painful.
"You need to leave."
"Gladly. I'll take Edward with me and not because he drove me here."
I think Bella gets in my mom's face.
I wish I could see through the wall separating us.
"I love your son with all of my heart, and I'm not going to let your self-entitlement come between us. Ever. So get used to seeing me around, Mrs. Cullen. Because unless he tells me to leave, I'm not going anywhere."
It's time to go.
Bella throws the kitchen door open and stomps into the room.
Her eyes are wild with fury, but they soften when she sees me.
"Ready to go, babe?"
