Leon felt slightly frustrated as Ella keep crying and talking about his mum and sister's ill-treatment towards her.
He wanted to badly please his wife but he didn't want to do it at the expense of his grieving mother.
He could manage Yvonne and even put how where she belongs but his mum was different. She had just lost the number one man in her life. So, naturally, she will be clinging to him, as her everything, and, he didn't want to disappoint her.
He remembered Nana Esther's warning that he should neither abandon his wife nor his mother. But he didn't need much convincing from Ella to know that his mum and sister were really maltreating her. He could also confirm this due to the way Ivory had been standing up for Ella.
Ivory was one person in the family that had an unbiased mind. It was said that she inherited this good trait from Nana Esther. As long as there are no malicious agenda behind a cause, she would always stand up for the truth.
