David, who is a fantastic chef, even assisted his ex-mother-in-law in preparing the meal. When they did sit down to eat, David asked about Lila. He wondered if she would mind him being there, at her mom’s house. Dorothy said she wouldn’t because she wasn’t probably coming since she hadn’t returned any of Dorothy’s calls.

After a brief conversation, David explained to Dorothy why her daughter wouldn’t be visiting her on her birthday. David replied in a troubled tone, «It turns out Lila, her new boyfriend, and the kids are all on vacation.» It shocked Dorothy.

Why her daughter would keep such a thing from her was beyond her comprehension. Another thing that infuriated David was that Lila had taken the kids on vacation without notifying him or seeking his permission.

«She had made a casual reference, but an entire vacation? Additionally, it seemed like they had been organizing everything for a month or so. Excuse me, Dorothy, but I believe your daughter’s taken things a little too far this time,” David said, visibly disturbed. Dorothy felt let down.

The very least Lila could have done was to inform her mother and her children’s father of her intentions and that she would not be there for Dorothy’s milestone birthday. Later, Dorothy had a few words with her daughter later, but her act still felt like a betrayal.
