But after all, she was a mother. At this moment, if she showed support for the younger daughter Clara and the elder son-in-law Harry's illicit relationship, it would be unacceptable. So Hazel had no choice but to pretend she knew nothing, to pretend she had seen nothing, and let the relationship between the elder son-in-law and the younger daughter develop naturally.
"Mom? You... you didn't see just now?..." This time, Clara was completely bewildered. Her mother's reaction really seemed as if she hadn't seen anything.

"See what?" Hazel continued to play dumb, acting utterly confused.
Clara, still unwilling to let it go, pressed further, "Just now... I was in brother-in-law's study... brother-in-law was holding me..."
Seeing her daughter being so persistent, Hazel couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. 'This younger daughter just doesn't understand propriety. Why must she insist on spelling it out?'
