Anne was terribly embarrassed. She'd heard Spencer Davidson was a bit of a strange character. Now she was certain of it. "Mr. Davidson, it's just miscommunication, misunderstanding. You see, Evette doesn't like seeing anyone treated unfairly, so she's just defending..."
Annoyed by her lame excuses, Spencer interrupted her, "Do you two actually treat Nathalia as your daughter? Your sister? A family member? This is disgusting. Come, Nathalia, you are moving to mine."
"Er?" Nathalia looked up at him, startled. Move to live with you?!
Evette protested at once, "No. I don't allow it!"
Anne had not expected this to come at all, but she was clever to respond, "Mr. Davidson, Nathalia's still a student and young. I'm afraid it's not a good idea for her to move in with you. I'm her mother, and I shall have a say. I would not like people to think wrongly of her if you see what I mean."
