Nathan Fawcett was very happy that Anna Linden had asked him to bring Anne Sutton back, so he decided not to argue with his mother for the time being.
Nathan Fawcett nodded. "I'm listening."
Anna Linden said, "Although Anne Sutton is here, I am only letting her stay. I will never acknowledge her as part of our family."
"..." Hearing his mother's words, Nathan Fawcett replied, "She never said she wanted to be part of the family. If she gets unhappy at any point, she'll leave."
"What do you mean?" Anna Linden grew anxious. "Is that a threat? What do you mean she'll leave if she's unhappy? I only said a few words. Even if we're living together, I don't have to suck up to her, do I? I am her elder, after all."
'I can't believe it. I haven't even said anything, and Anne Sutton is already trying to put me in my place.'
At this, Anna Linden was rendered speechless.
