Mason just sighed as he stepped out of the kitchen, knowing that this situation laid out before him was completely difficult for him to be in. But it would have to work. It may not be very easy to do but it had to work. He wanted to be in Isabelle's life, give her the father that she deserved, even if it meant dealing with the awkwardness between Lily and Sandra. Isabelle was worth all of that and he only hoped Sandra felt the same.
When they stepped back out into the dining room, he sat down at the table and began eating as he just sat there listening to Lily grilling Sandra on every itty bitty fact about her. He was hardly able to get a single word in all night. Though once the dinner was over, Lily trekked off upstairs for bed.
Mason was now alone with Sandra and Isabelle, though the moment Lily was out of sight she heard Sandra beginning in on saying something and he could tell it was going to be a strong choice of words. Though she backed out of it and left in silence. With a sigh he looked down at the ground and slid his hands into his pockets before turning towards the maid and butler, "Clean the table and you two are off the clock," he stated before making his way upstairs and into the bedroom with Lily.
