Hearing Emily mention his mother, Angelo, could not help but flinch and ball his hand into a fist beside himself.
He couldn't remember when last he had spoken about his biological mother to Emily, and her bringing his late mother up was something that did not sit right with him.
Seeing the expression of anger on Angelo's face, Emily stepped back, realizing just what she had done. She should not have gone against Madam Dorothy's instructions, and now she had upset her husband.
"I'm sorry," Emily apologized, hoping that a sincere apology would calm Angelo down. One look at his eyes, and immediately, Emily could see the hatred radiating off of them, so she opted to look down at the floor instead of at Angelo.
"If you ever want to be on good terms with me, it is best that you do not mention that woman or anything relating to her. Do we have an agreement?" he asked her bitterly.
