Last time, I had a calming dinner with Uncle Adrien and my mom. I thought about what my dad and I talked about.
I wonder why my dad and the rest of his family would attack my mom? I thought.
After I finished my plate, I went to my room.
Gaby, is something bothering you? Ghita asked. Why would you think something is bothering me? I asked. Something is bothering you. Ghita replied. Nothing is bothering me. I replied. Gabriela, I am your mother and I know you better than most. Ghita replied. Alright, when I spoke to my dad earlier. I replied. What did you say to him? Ghita asked. I cracked a joke about him being jealous of Uncle Adrien treating us better than him. I replied. Gaby, don't bruise his pride anymore than it already is. Adrien replied. He went silent and politely rushed me off the phone. I replied. Let me explain to you how your father is in the simplest way. Hadrien is a prideful man. He treasures everything important to him. Your brother, your step-mother and our family. Gaby, he feels guilty denying his involvement with your mom. When he sees you, it reminds him of your mom. Adrien replied. That has nothing to do with me. He made his bed. So he should lie in it. I replied. Gaby, you can't say that. Ghita replied. She sighs. Adrien laughs. She is a little you, Ghita. Adrien replied. Not our problem. I replied. I will agree with that. Ghita replied. I will help you with the dishes. Adrien replied. It's fine. I can do it, Adrien. Ghita replied. Adrien sighs. How about I help you with them? Adrien asked. You can help me. Ghita replied.
I'm giggled and closed my door.
I changed for bed.
I'm leaving. Adrien replied. Thank you, Adrien. Ghita replied. My mom kissed him on the cheek.
He smiled.
I saw him leave.
Afterwards, I thought about my mom and uncle being happy. I just hope nothing interferes. I have a feeling someone is trying little by little.
