Elise stared at the couple standing in front of her. She heard a knock and when she open the door, she found her son and his wife standing outside her bedroom. None of them looked upset nor discomfited or rueful, though. Infact, Leo looked zestful and pleased. Not the sight she expected at all.
Elise retreated and allowed them to come in. She went to find a seat and gestured on the couple. "You may take a seat but...." Elise paused and turned to Leo. "I remember calling for Charmaine, but what are you doing here, Leo?"
Leo led his wife to the sofa and they both sat across his mother. "I want to hear what you're going to say. I don't want anyone bullying my wife." he stated. Who knows what Adele told his mother! He was never the kind to go against his mother, but he has a wife to protect now. He understood that much.
