Confronting Steven
Steven’s parents were shocked to find that their son was offering free work to Elly. He had been at her house for so long that he had run out of time to fill out job applications. They had been supporting him for years, and their finances were already stretched owing to Steven’s erratic income. A sacrifice would have to be made…
Given An Ultimatum
Steven’s parents eventually forced him to choose between staying at home and assisting Elly. They couldn’t keep assisting him if he didn’t strive to support himself. Steven was surprised that his parents didn’t forgive Elly, given how courteous she had always been to everyone, but he also understood. It was now time to make a decision.
