Respectfully, fuck you.
Alessia almost smiled at her thought, she wished she could say it to his face but her mom would beat her ass if she got a called of complaint.
"Of course, respect given is respect earned." She gave him a strained smile. He eyed her suspiciously, some what not believing what she says. "Even though i don't fully agree on the way Rosa raised you-"
"I don't fully agree that you have the choice to voice your opinion on that Angelo." Her nice girl act was slipping. "You weren't there, even when you knew where we were. Living in a one bedroom apartment, scraping by every day, both of us having to work to keep food on the table. If you really wanted to raise me, then you would've." She took a deep breath trying to calm her ranging temper.
"Respectfully, you have no right to judge the way my mother raised me."
