After work, Tom picked Lucy in front of the company as usual and they both headed for his house instead of Lucy's.
"My grandfather said you asked him to report himself to my parents?" Tom asked as he drove and Lucy nodded.
"Yes. He should do that much. Why? Do you have a problem with it?" Lucy asked with a raised brow and Tom shook his head.
"No. I asked you to handle it. So whatever you say is fine," Tom said quickly.
"Good," Lucy said as she looked away from him to her window.
It seemed to her that when it came to other people interfering in his life or their relationship Tom knew how to draw the line and was usually harsh and unforgiving, but when it came to his family he was lenient.
She was just going to step in and do what he couldn't do himself.
It was one thing to seek their opinion on his problems but it was another to have them interfere directly one way or the other.
