Eliana and Maurice were left alone after Silas departed.

They had made love the previous night. They later had a big quarrel about half an hour ago, and parted ways in anger. Now, they were standing together in awkward silence.

Finally, Maurice cleared his throat and broke the silence.

“What was it that you just said to Silas? That kid is very strong-willed and stubborn. How did you manage to convince him so easily to go to school?”

Eliana felt a little sense of pride. It was surprising to her that Maurice could have problems raising the child, even though he was quite shrewd and disciplined.

She chuckled and said, “It’s my little secret. Besides, it won’t make sense to you even if I told you.”

Maurice was stunned by her response. He couldn’t find any words to refute her statement.

He thought about the report that one of his subordinates had told him about Silas. The mood swings. The constant sense of gloom that hung around the boy. Maurice was lost in thought for a brief moment. Then he stared at Eliana and said, “I really don’t know how to deal with kids. Silas’ parents left him when he was very young. He almost had no friends before meeting your kids. Ever since you left with your kids, he has been very depressed.”

Eliana’s face became pale with sadness. It was her turn to remain silent. Her heart was heavy with the burden of the guilt that was torturing her.

She knew she was wrong and selfish to have taken a decision that was not beneficial to the kids.
