John went home that night in high spirits. He achieved his purpose.
Catherine assessed her husband's countenance, trying to read his thoughts. "Hubby, have you succeeded in convincing your brother to reconcile with my sister?" she asked eagerly.
"Yes!" John said.
"That's great!" Catherine said happily.
"Now, you have to do your part, wife. Try to convince your sister to make up with my brother for the sake of their children!" he said.
"Okay, I'll do that!" Catherine replied cheerfully.
"Ask for your mother's help. It's now up to Caroline if she wants her marriage to be saved. It's very hard to convince my brother, let's not put it to waste," he said.
"Alright, I understand. Don't worry, I will call my mother right now," Catherine replied. She left the living room and instructed the maid to watch over the children while she calls her mother. She went to the pool area and call her mother from there.
