Chapter 8 Who is the leader?

The conversation of Sloan, Seth and Elaine

As soon as they were far enough from the others, Seth held his mum’s hand and looked at her in disbelief.

“Mum, why did you do this? You shouldn’t bring her into the family. You should keep her separate instead of letting her eat dinner with us.”

“What do you mean, son? Should we treat her like a pet? We are the Sullivans. What would people think about us if we would treat our new family member badly?”

Sloan interrupted. She tried to avoid an argument.

“Mum, Gideon had a reason for this marriage. He wants to protect Gemma. We shouldn’t even know her. We just came to have a look at her.”

“Gideon is not the head of this family. He is about to protect a vulgar wh*re who wants his money only. So humiliating. People must see him with a normal girl.”

“Mum, we all agree with that, but I think we should respect Gideon’s will, especially if you agreed with this madness.” Sloan said.

“Seth Sloane, you don’t have to worry about that. Mummy handles everything. And now, we can’t let them wait any longer.”

Elaine didn’t want to hear them moaning about the situation. At first, she said no to Spencer and Gideon’s idea, but after meeting Alice and thinking it over, she changed her mind and was happy with the possible result she got on her mind.

Alice

They continued chatting while we had dinner. I just ate quietly. They mostly talked about the little one. It was clear she was the most precious member of the family. The little girl tried to contact me, but her dad moved her attention to something else as soon as he noticed she wanted to get close to me. Ava kept trying, but if Seth couldn’t, then Leah made sure that wouldn’t happen.

It hurt me, of course, as I would have been happy to talk to her. But she was only a child who didn’t understand adult things yet. How could she have known talking to me wasn’t allowed for her? It wasn’t enough it hurt me, but that was also given that bad feeling back to me, that I felt when I arrived. There was a reason she couldn’t get close to me, I thought.
