Ever since he was a child, Hank Clegg lived apart from his family and he had very limited time with his parents. He didn't intend to make them angry. Seeing his mother crying fervently, he realized as a child, he should not contradict his father this way.
Hank sighed in his heart and then said, "It's true that I went to see Rebecca Smith, but I didn't call her... I can tell you exactly what happened..."
"Then explain yourself," his mother said through her tears, "We can talk things out, we're a family, closer than anything else. Is it necessary to bring things to such an extent because of an outsider?"
His mother scolded her husband saying, "Speak calmly, don't threaten him. If Hank said he didn't, then he didn't. You could doubt anyone else, but how could you not trust your own son?"
Hearing that, his father got angry again, "The whole family heard the phone call, what's there left to trust or not trust? I would like to see how this boy explains his actions today!"
