“Bella, about this morning, you came by and ran into…”
“Debbie, I completely understand. If that Lucas makes you happy, then I’m glad you have someone to take care of you,” Bella interjected.
“It’s not easy for us women.
“I may not have seen it firsthand with you, but I grew up with my mother, who was also a single mom.
“It was so hard for her all those years, taking it one step at a time.
“I know all about it.
“And because I know, it pains me to see women like you unhappy.
“Honestly, if you hadn't found someone, I would have looked for someone for you. Now that you have such a great person by your side, I won’t have to worry about not being able to visit you often.”
Debbie was stunned. She had prepared a whole speech, and it turned out to be completely useless. Bella was so understanding. Not only was she not surprised about the escort, she thought it was perfectly reasonable.
If that was the case, what did she have to worry about?
“You dear child. What did my Sebastian do in a past life to deserve someone as wonderful as you?
“I was so worried that something like this would be embarrassing, that you younger ones would laugh at me or judge me.
“Now, I can finally breathe a little easier.
“Bella, thank you for being so understanding.”
Bella genuinely didn’t think it was a big deal. Her own mother had done similar things when she was younger. She was young and had needs; she couldn't rely solely on Martin. Sometimes, Martin's family watched him so closely that he couldn't see her for half a month at a time.
