"Huh?" Natalie looked taken aback by that question. It then dawned on her that she might have given her daughter ideas.
"I never said such a thing," She denied it at once, picking up her spoon and sipping the soup noisily to drown out her daughter's protest which would undoubtedly come.
As expected, Arianna did not let the matter go. This was good news - if she could get her mother to admit her words.
"You did say so,"
Natalie sipped her soup louder to block her out but it didn't work. Arianna's eyes were lit with excitement and it didn't seem like she was going to give up anytime soon.
"Your words were these…" Arianna refused to give up, "And I quote, 'And what about your family? Marcel is not stable and you think he would let you move around the world when you both settle down, especially when you give birth to a child?'"
