"Visit our mother?" Michael almost instantly panicked.
Irene gave a nod and agreed, "Yes, I need answers. I cannot believe that our mother would treat her own granddaughter like that. I need to hear her reasons."
Michael now looked very uncomfortable. If Irene was to visit their mother, then she would get to know how he had been lying to her and manipulating her. She would know everything. His plan to use Irene as a scapegoat would fail miserably.
So, naturally, Michael was against that idea. "No! Are you mad? Our father doesn't like it when we even bring up the topic of Theodore and his family. And if he gets the air that you had been asking around about them or worse, you had been wanting to meet them, then he will definitely get furious with you."
