Nolan looked terrified at being caught in a compromising argument with his sister. He was awestruck at how to respond as it was more natural for him to be on the offensive rather than defensive. Herein he choose the easier response. "That's incredibly news. I did not think it would be easy for the problem to be dealt with. The word is annulment. I'm so happy to know that my sister will be free from your slime."

"Nolan! Apologize immediately. You do not speak that way to anyone. Especially someone who has been kind to us." Ellie said harshly. 

"Spare her, my dear. " Henry said with a cool tone. It was so strange to see him this unaffected in the face of someone being so rude to him.

But she would swell with pride at the new addition to her family who wasn't having any of this situation. 

Ellie rolled her eyes as Henry and Nolan tried to stare holes into each other's skin. She was not at all afraid of the fight brewing in the room. On the other hand, she seemed to find it funny. "What is this? When did it start? What happened between the two of you?"

Neither wanted to speak on the subject. But Henry was the one to finally concede the battle. "My dear brother-in-law is the one to blame in this situation. I did nothing to provoke him. I assume he must have suffered a serious head injury to think that I am somehow trying to get between the two of you. My favorite is that she thinks I want you to die or disappear. Due to this irrational fear of his he keeps thinking I am plotting something nefarious along with my staff
