Mrs. Russell was a bit embarrassed watching Henry leave with Charlotte and did not know how to maintain her dignity anymore. She frowned and started to dislike her daughter-in-law, who showed her mother-in-law no face.
Mrs. Thomas, who was sitting in the living room, felt something was wrong and got up to leave. Brushing off her clothes, she spoke to Mrs. Russell, "Since Henry doesn't care for us, I'll leave with my daughter." Saying that, she began to pack her things.
Mrs. Russell looked at Mrs. Thomas and calmly said, "Alright, you can leave first." After that, she prepared to leave for her bedroom to rest.
Lily McKenzie had an idea and said to her mother while near Mrs. Thomas, "Mom, I've thought about it. Why don't you go home and let me stay here to make it up to Charlotte?"
She appeared guilty and said, "After all, it was because of me that things got so awkward. I'll feel terrible if I don't do something."
