The talk (3)

"Your family is causing quite the stir in town, Alessandra. Melanie who everyone thought was dead has returned. You should avoid attending gatherings for now as they will pester you with questions about your mother. Let her deal with their questions," said Priscilla, not wanting Alessandra to be overwhelmed with questions so early in her pregnancy. 

As someone who was once around Melanie in the past and somewhat believed the woman was dead, Priscilla was surprised to hear Melanie was finally back.

"What was it like to meet with her? Are the two of you close now?" Priscilla asked.

"No, and I don't see us being close anytime soon. I do have two sisters and I am trying to convince Edgar to let one of my sisters teach our children in the future," Alessandra said and smiled to convince Edgar to do it.
