Melody Lynch couldn't understand. "But didn't his mother drug Master Gallagher and make him sterile? Shouldn't he hate that child to the bone and refuse to even lay eyes on him? Why does he dote on him so much instead? It just doesn't make any sense!"
The light ahead turned red, and Caspian Rhodes stopped the car. He glanced over at her and shook his head. "You're still so naive."
Melody Lynch shot him a glare. "Cut the crap. If you have something to say, say it. Don't make it a personal attack."
"What do you think, Arabella?"
Arabella Donovan mused, "I think Master Gallagher might... admire his mother."
"Who?" Melody Lynch whipped her head around to look at her.
"You know... the young Master Gallagher's mother."
Melody Lynch found that even more absurd. "Admire what about her? That she drugged him and made him sterile?"
Arabella Donovan gave an awkward laugh, but her expression said it all.
"...Why?"
