Chapter 267 267: Why these medicines makes me sleep

"You know I have my ways, son. It's just that I wanted to give you an opportunity to speak out before I got involved," Nancy remarked, darting her look back at Ella.

Her hand slowly reached under her chin, causing her to stare into her eyes.

"I understand why you were restraining, but believe me, Ella, we are not the people who would judge you. We've always desired you and Stefan could—"

"Ma'am?"

"Yes, Nancy is right, Ella. Aside from being your boss, I've always wanted to see you and our son together." Marcus simply agreed with his wife, saying, "It was something within me that made me see that."

"So, don't worry too much about the implications since we fully support Stefan's decision. If not for him, I might have stepped up and terminated the contract," he claimed.

Ella's eyes filled with tears, and her lips trembled.

"Dad, you're making her cry." Stefan's protective instinct kicked in, and he promptly rebuked his father, surprising Nancy and Marcus, but they soon burst out laughing.

"Look, I told you, your son is just like you," Nancy said, and she quickly pulled Ella with her and made her sit on the couch.

"You don't have to think so much, Ella, because we know everything," Nancy said, wiping away the tears that were flowing down her cheeks.

Ella nodded in agreement with Nancy's words before pulling her into a motherly hug.

"And from now on, you will never doubt yourself. You don't lack anything; folks lack brains and eyesight," she added with a smile on her lips.

"Where should I sit?" Stefan, who felt alone, inquired, hoping for some space to sit alongside Ella, but Nancy indicated.

"Go and sit with your dad," she shouted immediately, and the youngster stormed over to his father and sat next to him with a huff.

"You've already forgotten your beloved son, mom," Stefan whined.

"And also her husband," Marcus said, as both son and father exchanged sad looks before glancing at the two beautiful women in their lives.
