Chapter 44
East Alley,
New York City,
The Stephen's Mansion
Mr Stephen's POV
It was fascinating how kids grew up, from babies- toddlers- teenagers-young adults-adults. As parents, you think you know them, read their thoughts through their intriguing stares, filter through their pains and become a curator of solutions.
It was great to be coloured and decorated as their heroes but do what you think is best for them and that marks you as their enemy forever.
This was where I found myself with Laura. Funny how she used to adore me, her mum and now? There's no iota of respect left for us. For all she care, we were dead to her.
I thought using May's wedding would break Laura's stubborn stand but no! Even the house arrest which her mother protested wildly against didn't work out.
