Mia didn’t see the point in trying to talk Sophia down. Sophia’s temper was only going to land her in trouble one day. Her parents might spoil her for now, but once they were gone, what would happen if she managed to tick off both Ethan and Isabella? Who would welcome her back when she needed her family?
Mia had just met Isabella for the first time, but it was obvious from the way Susan treated her that Ethan truly cared. Right now, the Adams family elders might be keeping Isabella outside their doors. But what about later, when Isabella had a child? They’d be the ones begging her to come back.
Isabella had no idea Mia was warning Sophia about all this. After the two left, she didn’t go upstairs right away. She just sat on the sofa, lost in her own thoughts. Susan hovered nearby, looking like she wanted to say something.
“Susan, if you want to say something, just say it. I won’t get mad.”
Susan hesitated, then spoke up. “Isabella, you probably don’t know much about Ms. Clark. I’ve worked for the Adams family for a long time, so I know her. Jennifer really likes Mia, thinks she’s the only one good enough to be her daughter-in-law. But Ethan has never looked at Mia that way. Not even a little bit.”
“The Clarks have lived overseas for years, and Mia hardly ever comes back. She and Ethan barely know each other. There’s no way he’d ever be interested in her. Isabella, don’t listen to Sophia’s nonsense.”
Sophia just couldn’t stand the idea of Isabella being happy. She was set on breaking up Ethan and Isabella. All of Sophia’s friends had a thing for Ethan, and even though he clearly wasn’t interested, Sophia kept bringing them over, hoping one of them would catch his eye.
Susan couldn’t help thinking Sophia was just lucky to be born into the Adams family. If she’d grown up anywhere else, someone would’ve smacked that attitude out of her by now.
