Chapter 67: Mother-daughter chat

"When are you going to talk to your daughter?"

Markus Jersey looked up from the files he was reading, only to find his wife's frowning face. "Let's give her some more space" he tried to say.

But Bethany didn't seem willing to give up this time. "We've been 'giving her space' for days! How long are you going to wait?". As she said those words she slammed her fist on the desk, a gesture that was enough to make her husband jump.

Markus couldn't blame his wife. It could be said that, in recent times, the family had not really had a very good relationship.
