Boy or Man (2)

"This a beautiful mansion," praised Nadia as she smoothed her dress and sat down on the chair next to Kieran. "You have done an excellent job, Mrs Nelson." 

"Well, little comfort to the damage she has done to her boy," Kieran muttered loud enough for Noah to hear him.

Noah, who was right behind him, paused in his stride but then pretended as if he had not heard anything and went to sit on his chair. 

"Uncle," Zena reprovingly glared at her uncle. She had tried to make him understand that this was what she had wanted and that she knew what she was doing, but Kieran was proving difficult. 

No matter what she said to him, Kieran countered it with how Noah was a douchebag who deserved to die alone and that she was not being a good sport by choosing a man like him who had more or less cheated on his ex-wife.
