Amidst the sad pleading for Ye Sha to be let off, Alec brooded upstairs for a while before snapping back eventually.
He made his way downstairs to see his mother grabbing Ye Sha's collar, stunning him.
"What are you doing, mother?"
Annalise abruptly let go of Ye Sha, smiling at him. It was like seeing his own smile reflected.
"My darling son," she started off. "How could you keep it from me? How could you keep it from your dear mother?"
Behind her, Ye Sha was making crazy eyes at him, blinking, but Alec couldn't read his mind, so he was just confused at his gestures.
Ye Sha shook his head and make a throat cutting motion at him but Annalise didn't allow him to decipher his friend's meaning.
Instead, she walked up to him and grabbed both of his hands. "How could you not introduce your girlfriend to me?"
Alec suddenly became alarmed at the tears in her eyes.
Why was she tearing?
How was she tearing?
