Seeing no resolving the issue Martin sat back and contemplated before replying to his wife and stepdaughter.
"Alright. Things are very clear now Lucy you've misunderstood your sister. Your sister is right you will both have to enter the workplace soon and she can't help you then. I'm sure she was just busy today with her own matters."
"Thank you father, if you will all excuse me I will go and start dinner." April skipped off to the kitchen, escaping from the two vicious women glares.
Rachel turned to Martin, this was the first time he had not done as she wished and she was stunned. She would have to sweet talk him over dinner. For now, she had to show she would compromise.
"Well, I was just worried about her and I don't want to pressure her too much either."
After showing her willingness to compromise she held Martins's arm and was about to continue to talk him round when he stopped her.
