Drusilla lowered her gaze to the cup of coffee on the table and said, "Enoch, I... I think I want to resign."
Enoch raised an eyebrow at her, "All this over a little hiccup?"
"It might be minor to you," Drusilla replied. "I'll refer you to other therapists. I just don't want to go to the Taylor's anymore."
Enoch said nothing, merely lowering his head to start on his breakfast.
Drusilla watched him, taking his silence as agreement.
That's all she needed - his approval.
As she ate, a waiter approached with a large bouquet of flowers, standing beside her and saying, "Ms. Lawson, these are from a Mr. Taylor for you."
The roses were vibrant, as if freshly picked from a garden that very morning.
Seeing this, Drusilla paused, Enoch sitting across from her...
Did he send them?
After accepting the flowers and setting them aside, she asked, "Did you send these?"
"Yes," Enoch admitted. "I heard you stormed out of your house. I guessed you were upset, so I came early to keep you company. But, you..."
There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "are ready to walk away from the one who brings you flowers. I guess, in your eyes, I'm just that insignificant, huh?"
Finishing his statement, Enoch's eyes took on a sorrowful expression.
Drusilla felt a tug at her heart, "Enoch."
Here he goes again...
A deep sense of dread filled her, suffocating her with frustration.
It felt as though she was completely under this man's control.
She loved him, yet she couldn't bear to see him like this.
She feared his overthinking, his sadness, his potential despair over his physical condition.
Before Drusilla could even speak, she heard Verena's angry voice through the phone.
"What's going on?" Drusilla asked.
"What's the deal with Enoch, not letting me take the kids?"
Drusilla was surprised, "Enoch isn't even at home right now."
"Yes," Verena confirmed. "But he gave his orders, the house staff said they were not to let me take the kids!"
Legally, she was still the mother of the two children, yet Enoch flatly refused to let her take them!
This was unexpected for Drusilla.
She had thought that if Verena wanted to take the kids out, Blythe and the others wouldn't object. Little did she know, Enoch would go to such lengths to prevent Verena from doing so.
Especially since there were times before when she had taken the kids out without him saying a word!
