Elise closed her eyes and threw her phone onto the ground with all her strength, the screen shattering with a loud, ugly crash.
The noise instantly woke up Odell, who had been sleeping soundly.
The baby opened his eyes and started wailing helplessly.
Elise had been living in the old Clark mansion for a while now, treated by everyone as the daughter-in-law.
However, she and Rhett still weren't officially married and didn't share a bedroom.
When Rhett wasn't around, the servants would still call her "Mrs. Clark" and treat her like the lady of the house.
But Elise knew that as long as she stayed here, she had to constantly watch her step around Delilah, Rhett's mother.
She quickly picked up Odell, trying to soothe him in her arms, but for some reason, the baby always rejected her. The more she tried to comfort him, the harder he cried.
Sure enough, Delilah soon heard the commotion and rushed into the room.
