Ian's skepticism threw Makayla into deep thought.
"What kind of proof do you need?" Makayla asked.
To Makayla, the relationship she shared with Elijah required no evidence whatsoever.
Elijah was her brother, and that was that.
Ian challenged, "You say you're Elijah's sister,. Do you have an ID? Can you show it to me?"
Makayla wasn't sure if she had an ID card, but she could ask her brother about it.
"I'll dig up some proof!" She assured Ian.
She trusted Marta's words wholeheartedly. Because Marta had told her that Elijah's mother was also her mother, and Elijah confirmed it too. She and Elijah shared the same mother, and it was only natural they were siblings!
"If you can't come up with proof, I won't acknowledge anything." Ian said coldly, walking away with his plate.
Makayla watched his retreating figure, feeling a mix of anxiety and indignation. If only Elijah were here now. She could ask him for proof.
Ian returned to Mike's side.
Mike asked, "What did Makayla say to you? Didn't Elijah say he wouldn't come? Makayla's here, so it looks like Elijah might show up at the wedding today."
Ian frowned, "Nothing really."
Mike noticed Makayla kept glancing their way, and felt a pang of sympathy, "We really shouldn't be so ruthless to someone who's mentally challenged."
Ian said, "She's not as naive as she used to be."
Mike said, "Yeah, I've never doubted your mother's medical skills."
Ian looked quite proud of his mom.
