But... Grandmother's soup must be drunk; otherwise, she'll be upset.
Scarlett Glenn gets up: "Okay...I'm coming..."
Grandmother had separated from Uncle and specifically came back to take care of her.
She certainly couldn't let the Old Lady be saddened!
While drinking the soup, Mrs. Herd asked, "Scarlett Glenn, how come your friend Arthur didn't come today?"
"He probably has his own things to deal with."
Without Arthur's visit, Scarlett Glenn actually felt a bit more at ease. Between her and Arthur, there was clearly a wide chasm, yet both had to act as if nothing was wrong. She found this very exhausting.
Seeing the look of disappointment on Mrs. Herd's face, Scarlett Glenn sighed in her heart: "Mum...are you bored at home? Why don't you take advantage of the time before the New Year and go to see Uncle?"
Mrs. Herd immediately shook her head: "No need, what's there to see about him? Taking care of you is most important."
