Mia pursed her lips; she didn't know how to reply to her father's question. Anyway, what was she supposed to say to him?
That your best friend is a scumbag who cheated on his wife and brought an illegitimate child home with him? No matter how hard Mia tried to make this sentence polite, she just couldn't do it. She loved Uncle Benjamin, as the man had often protected and cared for her.
But as a woman, she just couldn't turn a blind eye to his actions and say something as immoral as what he did was right. Because then she would have to admit that Henry had never been unfair to her and she had never suffered any injustice, Mia didn't have the heart to say that.
Because what Uncle Benjamin did to Allegra was what Henry did to her. So, how could Uncle Benjamin be in the right when Henry was in the wrong? Either both of them were in the wrong or both of them were in the right.
