Seeing that Mia was safe and sound, her mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. She walked over to her, still shaken, and said, "Mia, you scared me to death... You didn't answer, and I thought you were in there..." Her mother choked up, probably thinking she was still upset about what her mother had told her last night.
Mrs. Franklin, who didn't know what was going on, also came over and gently comforted her. "Mia, did William bully you again? If he did, tell me, and I'll stand up for you right now."
Ever since William had told his parents that he and she wouldn't divorce, Mrs. Franklin seemed to have accepted her. These days, Mrs. Franklin hadn't mentioned introducing other girls to William.
"I'm fine, Mom. I want to talk to William alone. Is that okay?" She finally turned around and calmly said to Mrs. Franklin.
Seeing that she was willing to speak, Mrs. Franklin completely relaxed and said affectionately, "Okay... You two talk it out. We'll leave."
