Steven said, "That woman and her kid ain't in this country."
Jacqueline raised an eyebrow, her gaze growing colder. "Kenneth sure is careful, ain't he? Scared I'd hunt down that woman and her kid if I found out, so he shipped them off already."
Steven replied, "Mom, it wasn't Kenneth who sent them away. It was me."
Jacqueline asked, "You sent them off? Were you trying to solve my problem, or were you planning to use that woman and her kid to pull one over on Kenneth?"
Steven answered, "Neither."
Jacqueline asked, "Then why?"d2
Steven explained, "I sent them away to get them to stop dreaming. Just because they think Kenneth is an easy mark, doesn't mean they can get anything out of him."
Jacqueline, "What are you saying?"
Steven continued, "Kenneth got conned."
Jacqueline, "He got conned? Do you mean someone put him in bed with that woman? I thought you were different from other men, but it turns out you're all the same."
