Juliet nearly cracked an amused smirk at Rhys's retort. Nearly. But not quite... that would do no good, after all, to be the first to show emotion in this conversation, even if she did find what he was saying rather funny, all things considered.
"Ah, but didn't you just say not a month ago that I should never see them again?" she asked innocently, cocking her head to the side. "With such a dismal mother, Evan and Aemelia" --she pointedly included each twin's name-- "cannot be lacking so much with you, can they?"
Although amusing that he chose to contradict himself, Juliet could not help but still feel bitter in the slightest about his earlier remark. The both of them knew that he would not manage to handle the children alone long-term, and vice versa (well, without going insane, that was)... Which was why she had sent the children in the first place to be with him for a while, once she had realized that he was not intending to come home. To threaten that he would somehow gain full custody was silliness, but undoubtedly had struck a nerve that she could not quite explain.
Well, it wasn't as if they were terrible. They were her children, after all... Oh, honestly, this entire situation was stupid. She didn't entirely understand why he would not just give up and come home and resume normal life, as they knew it had to be. She would not admit that she enjoyed their normal home life or anything... of course not, but... it was comfortable, or... whatever.
