"You!" Liliana Davis glanced reproachfully at her son, "Sally is a forgiving child, but you can't take advantage of that. Since you're already engaged to Sally, you should keep your distance from other women."
"But…" Nathan Leafcastle frowned, "Dad and Uncle Wave were as close as brothers back then, even Dad's funeral was arranged by Uncle Wave…"
Bang!
Liliana Davis slammed the rolling pin heavily on the countertop.
Nathan Leafcastle looked up in shock, "Mom?!"
"Oh!" Liliana Davis came back to her senses, "It's nothing."
"Mom!" Nathan Leafcastle took a deep breath and spoke in a deep tone, "I know what you're thinking, but…"
"Nathan?!"
"Mom!" Nathan Leafcastle lifted his face, his dark eyes solemnly meeting his mother's gaze, "Even if I'm begging you, just this once, okay?"
He couldn't refuse something he had promised Vera.
That girl, he had thought about for many years. Only seeing her happy would bring him peace.
