Bella realized why she was being temporarily promoted to family status and almost laughed. 'Della, Edward hasn't ever mentioned either you or Declan.'

Unimpressed, Della curled her lip. 'We looked after you when you were a child, Bella. Now I expect you to look after us and ensure that there is no reason for Edward Zikos to sack your uncle from his job or withdraw business from my legal firm. After all, it's your fault that I was brusque with him... I know I offended him but he arrived in the middle of a family crisis... Make sure he understands that.'
