Drusilla stood outside, eavesdropping as they discussed her issue.
She bit her lip, unsure of what to say. But one thing was clear; she wasn't going to give in.
Deciding to leave the Taylor estate for a while, she headed home, planning to return later.
...
When she returned later, the first sight that greeted her was Harlan lounging at the patio table sipping on coffee.
As Drusilla approached, Harlan's gaze fixed on her, his lips curling into a smirk. "Back already, Aunt Drusilla?" he quipped.
His tone was mockingly sweet, deliberately using the title to tease her.
Drusilla raised an eyebrow and gave a calm response, "Why are you showing manners today, my niece’s husband? This isn't like you."
Insisting he call her 'Aunt' was a playful jab at him, and today, he seemed all too eager to play the victim, an odd choice indeed.
Harlan scowled and gazed at her, "You seem quite pleased with yourself now."
"Of course, I am." Drusilla boasted, "Being called 'Aunt' by my least favorite person every day feels right. How could I not be thrilled?"
Harlan glared at her smug expression, then dropped a bombshell, "I heard Enoch has two kids out there, kids who look just like him."
