The woman took a seat in the living room like a boss. Ayla, on the other hand, was confused. Hayden had told her to leave the two of them to talk, while the woman insisted that she stay. What was she going to do? On one hand, she wanted to heed to Hayden's command, but she hesitated. She didn't know what the relationship between the was like. Moreover, she never knew how to disrespect people, especially the older ones.

"You're going to stay. Come to the living room." The woman ordered as she looked sternly at Ayla. Ayla was caught in a dilemma. She turned to Hayden and saw him remain silent. She took it as a cue for her to stay.
