"Anna, why did you bring him here?" Aaron asked and it's clear on his tone that he is irritated by the fact that his father is under the same roof as him.
"Why did I brought our father here? That's the most stupid question I've ever heard from you, brother. This is also our father's home and it's only natural that he's here." Whether her brother likes it or not, their father will at the mansion.
If their father is not staying at the mansion, it will take a longer time for their family to be complete. Bringing her father home is the only solution Anna could think of. She knows that her mother is still angry at her father, but she wants to show her mother that her father is trying to make up for the lost time.
Arion can not do what he is supposed to do if Aaron and Mary are trying to purposely avoid him. If he stays in the mansion, they will avoid him as much as possible, but they will see that he is trying to build up the trust that he had lost.
"His home?" Aaron scoffed. "Please. The moment he left this home years ago is the moment he is not a part of this household any longer." For the first time, this is an argument that neither of the twins is backing down.
"Oh. Good thing that you told me to stay. This is quite an interesting show." Leonardo commented in an amused tone. It's not the twins' first argument with each other, but the atmosphere this time is very different from their previous arguments.
"It's not very amusing, Leonardo. As a father, I don't want to see my children argue like that." Just seeing the twins arguing is reminding Arion of the time Alfonso and Layla argued. After the argument, those siblings didn't talk for a whole two months. And he doesn't want that to happen to his children.
From the reports that Leon has been giving to him, the twins are always together and they stick for each other no matter what the situation is. Arion does not want the twins' bond to be broken just because of him.
"If you don't want to see them like that, then you should have told your daughter not to let you come here. You are partly at fault here, Arion." Mary also doesn't want to see her twins like that, and along with her unstable emotion, she put the blame on Arion. She could not help it.
"Excuse me? Sure. I'm at fault here. But at least, my daughter can see that I'm trying unlike some people here." Arion knows that he has a fault on the matter and he is suffering from it every day, but Mary shouldn't rub it on him every time she sees him.
Hearing that Mary scoffed and said, "Oh, I'm sorry if I couldn't see your efforts. Even if I did, I don't have the time to pay attention to it." Mary can feel that Arion is trying to make their family be together again, but it's just too hard for her to accept it right now.
She did say that she will help Arion be closer to their son, but if Aaron is not going to go along with them, then there is no point in for her to help Arion. Besides, being side by side with Arion again is only going to make her emotions unstable.
"And you said you're willing to help me." As much as Arion doesn't want to have an argument with Mary, Arion is not the type of person who likes to back down on a childish argument like they are having right now.
"Well, I changed my mind." Mary childishly replied.
"Hohoho. Is it bad for me to just sit and watch them argue like this?" Earlier, Mary wanted him to stay because she thought that it will make him feel uncomfortable. However, he felt quite the opposite of what Mary wants, he feels very amuse of what he is watching right now.
"Yes. It is very bad of you to just sit there and stay quiet while they are in chaos right now." Right at this moment, Tess is fuming. She doesn't like what she is seeing. She understands the twins, but as for Mary and Arion? That's another different case.
Arion and Mary are both a.d.u.l.ts and they are the parents of the twins. They should be setting a good example for the twins instead of showing a bad one. If someone were to ask her whose fault is it, then she would say that it both of the parents' fault.
Arion made a great mistake and he knows it, while Mary should be more understanding about it and she should also talk to her son to be more understanding. Tess doesn't have the full details of what really happened on Arion's disappearance, but she knows that there is a reason to it and she hopes that Aaron and Mary will have to be a little bit considerate of what Arion has been through.
"Oh, come on, now, Nanny Tess. It's their family business, I'm an outsider. I don't have the right to interfere with their business." Even if he is a part of the Coleman family, he would rather enjoy watching them than stopping them from what they are doing. 'I'm such a good friend, aren't I?' Leonardo inwardly said.
"Leonardo, I have known since you were a teenager, and despite not being blood-related to Mary, I know that you are her family." From what Tess heard a long time ago, Leonardo is not close to his father, and that Leonardo treats Harrison like his own father. That would also mean that to Leonardo, Mary is like a sister to him, a family.
After listening to what Tess just said, Leonardo's face wrinkled. "I really hate it when you say it like that, Nanny Tess. I really really hate it."
"Then don't make me say it and do what you are supposed to do," Tess said in a commanding tone.
"Why can't you say it yourself?" Leonardo doesn't understand why it has to be him to stop the four of them from arguing.
"I'm old."
"Seriously? That's your excuse?" Even if Tess is at the age where her physical state is not the same as before, Leonardo knows that with just one word, the four of them will stop arguing and would listen to her. For him to stop them is the most exhausting thing he would ever do.
"Just do it, Leonardo," Tess said impatiently.
