"Why do I ask?" Helen gave him a look of skepticism, " You're asking me about my experience with a man you despised throughout your life; a man that made me abandon you in your childhood?"
"Being in prison is tiring and boring mom, indulge me with some gossips"
came his pathetic excuse"You don't have to worry, I'll keep it from father" Asher promised her.
