"Sorry if I was out of line. I was just introduced as a child by a mistress. It is too soon to call you mother," Wesley apologized for his carelessness.
"Oh, dear. You seem to misunderstand something. I am a mother to Eli. You are the son to whoever your mother is. Call only her mother unless she treats you a certain way…" Elaine trailed off not wanting to go too deep into that type of conversation. "Elaine shall be what you call me. End of story."
"I see," Wesley muttered, not offended. He could understand her reasoning for not wanting to be called mother by someone who was not her very own flesh and blood. "Do you truly not hate my existence?"
