"I should be asking you the exact question. What did you think you were doing scolding me like that?"

"A guest?" He asked with ridicule laced in his voice.

"You should talk to aunt and let her know this should be the last time I see him amongst us. If he so much as try to approach anyone else, I won't hold myself back."

"Ah! And also, I won't appreciate it the next time you scold me like that. I am being serious." 

"Why are you overreacting like this? Someone would think you have a special feeling for Joreen or something!" His mother yelled at him.
