Bab 231: Odd Occurrence

"Your cousin? Who is he?" Marcella asked. 

 She must have asked that out of confusion but her tone implicated that she was annoyed with him rather than being sensitive to his pain. Maybe she didn't care for his feelings considering that her children's lives were in danger. 

John Russo scoffed. "As expected,…" he mumbled. 

"What did you expect?" Marcella raised her voice. She was annoyed with that guy. If he had something to say, he should say it openly. She hated his indecisiveness. Either he could work here or he couldn't; either he wanted to tell her his story or not. Why was he confused?

Tony blocked her. "Get inside, Marcella!" 

Marcella was taken aback by the tone he used on her. He rarely used an authoritative tone on her. She stopped and looked at his face. He was looking at her. His face was stiff and she didn't like how calm he looked. 

She was not in the wrong. So, why was she getting sent away?
