Elena felt her food hang in her throat, and she started choking. It wasn't the best reaction to the news or the best impression on Marcus's family, but that was what happened. She was too stunned to swallow properly.Marcus quickly handed her a glass of water and patted her back softly."Are you okay?" He asked her, and she nodded."I'm just, I—" she stopped herself. Marcus could not know about her and Gavin. It would ruin everything, and there was no point she and Gavin were through. There was nothing but history between them, especially since he lied to her; he didn't tell her he had a kid."Is this meal too much of a change from what you're used to?" Benjamin asked, taunting her with his words. Marcus glared at him, "Control your mouth, or I'll do it for you," Marcus warned, but Benjamin just rolled his eyes."Gavin, baby, come over here and give your grandma a hug," Lori insisted. Gavin, who had been standing still in total shock, shook out of it and walked over to Lori to hug he

"That's no way to greet a lady, Marcus," Lori said sternly."I'm sorry, grandma, it's just that this is supposed to be a family thing, and she didn't tell me she was coming," Marcus replied to his grandmother, but his eyes were narrowed at Isabel, who put on a sickly sweet smile that was obviously very fake. Marcus could see right through it. Isabel didn't smile a lot, and she definitely would not be smiling, especially after their last encounter before he left for the mansion, and especially not after he had been busying her calls since he came."I haven't been able to reach you; I was worried. And besides, we have lots of work to catch up on,""I know. I read your emails," he snorted. He looked away from her and pulled out a seat for Elena, who had not said anything since they got downstairs. She and Isabel did not have the best track record."Well, you're always welcome, Isabel," Lori said."Yeah, you always are," Benjamin added and winked at Isabel, but she scoffed and looked away

Elena watched as Marcus stood at the door, talking to Gavin. It made her really nervous. What if he was telling Marcus about their relationship? Would he do something like that?Her heart skipped a couple of beats when Marcus crossed his arms, a defensive look on his face. She couldn't breathe peacefully until Marcus turned to her, "Babe, Gavin wants to see you," he said casually and then gestured for Gavin to come into their room, then he left.Elena breathed out a sigh of relief; at least Gavin wasn't that selfish. And even if he did tell Marcus, he would have ended up with a broken nose and probably a broken jaw, too."I guess this is where the magic happens," Gavin said sarcastically as he walked into the room properly, hands tucked in his jeans."What do you want?""A favour," he said simply, and Elena snorted in response."I'm serious. I need your help," he said, his voice much more serious. Elena straightened up a bit and arched an eyebrow at him, "with what?""Pearl, my daught

Elena's ringtone disrupted the moment and made Marcus stop talking."I'll just silence it," Elena said, reaching into her back pocket to silence her phone."No, no, it's fine you can take it," Marcus said. He didn't trust himself not to tell her exactly how he felt if they were left alone."Are you sure?" Elena asked, a bit uncertain."Yes, I'm sure. It could be important,"Elena nodded and answered the call, "Hello?""Elena," the person on the other line cleared his throat, a bit nervous, "It's Henry." Her supervisor. Elena's face morphed into one of surprise, "Hi, Henry, I'm sorry I don't have your number saved. I thought I told you I was taking the week off. Didn't you see my email? I thought you approved it—""I did. I know you took the week off; I approved it. I was just um, checking in, wondering if you're alright. " Henry said he was sounding a bit more confident."Oh yes, I'm fine, thanks for calling," Elena replied, then mouthed the words "my supervisor" to Marcus, who nodde

Gavin was almost done with what seemed like the worst day ever.The meeting with his lawyers didn't go quite well. There was a lot of money still pending, and they were not happy with this. They gave him his ex-wife's list of demands to meet the compromise he had offered her, and well, it was very demanding.The only thing that made him smile was hearing Pearl talk about Elena. Her voice was still sleepy, but she talked on and on; he couldn't help but feel a little bit of pride, but it was immediately followed up by regret. If he hadn't screwed things up, it would have been him that introduced Elena to the family.After Pearl fell back asleep, he picked up his laptop and tried to do some work, but he couldn't just focus, so he dropped the laptop and went downstairs; that was when he heard Marcus and Benjamin fighting with each other. He rushed into the living room to separate them because if there was one thing their grandfather hated, it was stupid fights in his house.He managed to
