"You know I have my ways, son. It's just that I wanted to give you an opportunity to speak out before I got involved," Nancy remarked, darting her look back at Ella.
Her hand slowly reached under her chin, causing her to stare into her eyes.
"I understand why you were restraining, but believe me, Ella, we are not the people who would judge you. We've always desired you and Stefan could—"
"Ma'am?"
"Yes, Nancy is right, Ella. Aside from being your boss, I've always wanted to see you and our son together." Marcus simply agreed with his wife, saying, "It was something within me that made me see that."
"So, don't worry too much about the implications since we fully support Stefan's decision. If not for him, I might have stepped up and terminated the contract," he claimed.
Ella's eyes filled with tears, and her lips trembled.
