Finally, he opened his mouth to speak. "What is she doing here?" Although his voice was calm and quiet, the tremor underneath caused a cold sweat to break out on Grace's back.
"I... erm... she..." Grace stammered, unable to come up with proper words.
"It's a simple question, Mom." Alexander stretched the last word. "Why is she here?"
"I brought her here to see if you both could work things out." Grace closed her eyes as she answered. "You both had such a strong relationship. No matter what happened, I believe you both can still work things out." Seeing that he was silent, she gained more courage as she spoke not minding that Serena was in Alexander's arms.
Rhea's eyes met Serena's and the former's lips curled up while throwing a smug smile towards Serena.
So what if Alexander likes you? Hmph! I have his mother on my side and he always listens to his mother. Rhea thought to herself, while throwing subtle glances at Alexander who didn't bother to pay her any attention.
