"Who is this?"
"My boyfriend."
Maddison's answer was just as short as the question, and the woman took a drink from her glass with a scowl. Her eyes trailed over Azrael's body as she examined him for a while before she turned and began to walk away.
"Ensure he doesn't steal anything. Lord knows the demonic creatures you surround yourself with outside of our supervision."
Maddison's hand tightened around Azrael's, and she bowed her head and answered.
"Yes, mother—"
"Don't call me that!"
Smash!
The woman suddenly shouted and threw her glass cup to the ground, breaking it to pieces, and Maddison jumped in fright!
The woman glared at Maddison with her teeth bared before she spoke in irritation.
"Take yourself out of my sight this moment, and if I ever hear that word from your mouth—"
The woman stopped herself as her eyes trailed towards Azrael for a moment. She then took in a breath and spoke to a maid that was already approaching them.
