"But Mom, the captain said he's got something to do."
"That's why I want you to go with him. Once he's done, you two can come back right away.
No matter how late it is, your dad and I will wait for you."
Ivy Miller swallowed hard, seriously? How unlucky. If I had known, I would have just gone and had dinner.
Why make a fuss out of nothing?
"Okay, okay, sure."
After hanging up, Henry Sullivan put his phone back into his pocket and started eating: "Why didn't you just tell her you don't want to go."
"I would need the guts first. She gave birth to you, not me.
She can be gentle with you, but there's no reason for her to be gentle with me."
Henry shook his head with a smile: "Alright, I know my mom can be harsh with people usually.
I also know you've been through a lot being her daughter-in-law.
Don't worry, if anything happens between you two in the future, I'll be on your side."
"What if I'm the one at fault?" Hearing him say that, Ivy Miller instantly felt much better.
