137 Losing My Mind

Tyler's POV

"I am sorry, Ty; I begged my daughter to wait for you and give you a chance to explain your side because I believe that rumor is not true because I know how much you love Arabella," Clarissa said before I could even greet her. Worries were visible on her face as I sat on the patio chair beside her.

"I can see how you at Ara, and those gazes were enough to tell us; she is the only one you love. I wondered why you kissed that woman?" She asked. It felt like I couldn't breathe at all; I found it hard to talk as I could feel the soreness of my heart knowing Ara was gone.

"Mom, there is a misunderstanding. I know I should have taken precautions by avoiding Regina, but she is the town Mayor's daughter, and Conrad wanted me to spend time with his daughter during her entire stay." I declared.

"Is kissing Regina part of your agreement with the Mayor?" She asked, and I shook my head.
