Even if he was trying so badly to act deaf, Miguel could still hear Gemma as she sobbed in the bedroom.
She was sobbing because of him, because he refused to call her father and make a bargain with him.
Not that he wasn't going to do it. He has plans of calling Russo to inform him that he was with his daughter. But he wants to wait until Russo finds out for himself that his father has been lying to him all along.
He knows there is going to be a war between his father and Russo. And he wants to wait it out.
Now sitting in the kitchen and hearing her sob, did something to his inside. He couldn't explain what it did to him because he doesn't understand it. But whatever he was feeling, wasn't a happy feeling.
He groaned inwardly as he got up from the stool he had been sitting on and slowly dragged himself to the bedroom. He didn't want to ask her what the problem was because he already knew why she was crying and he couldn't give her what she wants.
