"Bully my foot!" Victoria was genuinely angry, giving Michael a thump. "You're even worse! Anyway, how has mom been lately? I miss her a lot, can you bring her over to the Clegg's for a visit?"
Michael looks distraught, almost about to cry.
Victoria noticed immediately and asked with great concern, "What happened to mom? What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Michael's eyes filled up with tears and he began to sob. "Mom... Mom... She..."
Now in tears, Victoria cried out desperately, "What happened to Mom?"
Michael wailed, "Mom has met Dad already, she is beside him now, serving as his translator and assistant."
"What?!"
Victoria plopped down onto the bed, feigning death.
After a while, she sat up abruptly and asked Michael, "Does Dad have any intention of marrying mom? Does he know we exist?"
