Enzo went silent when she revealed sheâd heard the entire conversation on the phone. He sighed, leaning against the counter closest to him. âShe contacted me months ago when I was drunk and stupidly decided to answer the phone. Iâve been giving her money since.â It felt as if an entire weight had been taken off of him, but it didnât help any because no he was going to ask her to lie. âJC doesnât know. And i need to do me a favor and not say anything. I know that Iâm likely being bullshitted. But..sheâs our mom.â Enzo was rarely serious as he was now, and the look on his face to Gemma had to show it. âPlease.â
Gemma nodded, placing the spork back on the table, her appetite not as apparent any more as she took in what Enzo was saying. âWouldnât she understand though? I mean, itâs your mom. Of course you want to help her out, even with all the stuff you guys have been through with her. It doesnât change the fact that she is your mom and youâre going to care about her. If you explained it to JC, Iâm sure she would understand...â she argued, wondering if she was right or not. She didnât have that sort of family drama, so she couldnât say what she would do herself. She sighed deeply, her shoulders slumping. âI wonât tell her,â she finally mumbled, not wanting to hurt either of them. âBut you have to tell her eventually. Secrets never stay secret for long.â
