After dinner, Adela took Carla out to watch television. Mrs. Sienna called Jonathan back, assuming Adela and he were dating. Because Adela has never taken a man home in years…
“Ethan, are you serious with Adela?”
Jonathan looked at Adela holding Carla, his eyes filled with sweetness: “Don’t worry. I can use my life to make sure she never has misery!”
Adela feels like it’s a play, but Jonathan is serious.
Believe it or not, Mrs. Sienna felt relieved to hear him say that.
But thinking for a while, she decided frankly to Jonathan: “So did you know Adela had a harrowing past?”
Mrs. Sienna wants to talk about r**e. She thought it through, not because of the momentary emotion.
If Ethan can’t accept this, he should leave. If that’s acceptable, it’s better to know a little sooner.
