Will you listen? (2)

Seeing Matthew fall silent, Lexi said "That is not it is it?"

"You know it is not.  One thing grandfather instilled in both Phillip and I, regardless of how we think about them, is to respect our parents.  There are times, when their behaviour is so outrageous like at the foundation dinner that we react, but in the end, they are my parents and as much as I can, I will respect …"

"Screw that Matthew.  Their treatment of you and Phillip in front of people when you were working to raise funds for good deeds, means that they do not deserve your respect.  For how nice they were to me when I was growing up and even after my parents died that is not justified.  And in my mind that makes me want to do everything to keep them away from Dominic, because they will only harm him."
