Link, while seated on the plane to Singapore, was still pondering the incident he had encountered the day before with Dadalio's mother.
When he saw Mrs. Dadalio, he had politely greeted her and, not receiving a positive response, he took the initiative to say goodbye to Dadalio.
As he was leaving and the door hadn't closed yet, he heard Mrs. Dadalio's voice from inside: "Yanni, you know he's a playboy..."
Out of politeness, Link hadn't eavesdropped on the rest of the conversation, but he could roughly guess that Mrs. Dadalio considered him a playboy and disapproved of Dadalio associating with him, intending to break them up.
He had worried that Dadalio might be persuaded by her mother, and had messaged to ask if her mother was angry. Dadalio replied, "Link, I like you, and it has nothing to do with her."
