Mello blinked his eyes while staring at his uncle's astonished face There was a glim of cluelessness lingering in his eyes. However, James quickly realized the reason behind his confusion and jumped in his defense.
"Oh... About that, it's nothing serious. I just didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to my father that's why I asked Ruth to sort everything"
Mello appeared even more oblivious hearing James's reasoning whereas Abby tried suppressing her laughter by hiding her face with her palm.

James understood how badly he ruined his image in front of the two. But to stop the news about his secret wife and child from spreading all around the office, James had to take measures.
"But you almost cried" Mello pointed innocently.
James: "..."
"Pfft... hahaha..." Abby burst into a peal of laughter after she failed to control herself and commented.
"See even Mello can tell that you are scared of your father"
