Why not to piss off Edgar Collins (2)
"One minute you are plotting for us to be alone to make your great-grandchildren and then you're upset when I touch my wife. Since you are conflicted I will do as I please. I'm sure you've received a letter from Alfred about what happened last night thanks to your meddling. Butt out of my marriage or I will visit less," Edgar said in a serious tone. "If anyone is going to play games in my relationship, it will be me."
Alessandra elbowed Edgar and smiled at Rose. "I hope you have been well, grandmother. I understand that you were trying to do something nice but there was already a misunderstanding between Edgar and me because of a joke Alfred made. So I do not enjoy anyone plotting to have us do anything. I'd rather things happen naturally."
