Edie scratched her head and laughed in guilt, "Was I that obvious? I was just worried that if I invited the deputy chairman, Stuart would be unhappy. If I hadn't seen it for myself, I wouldn't believe they're mother and son…"
Suddenly, she thought of what Cecil said last time. Stuart's phobia for women and claustrophobia had started 15 years ago, did something happen in that year?
She looked at Mr. Bates beside her and couldn't resist asking, "Mr. Bates, do you know why they had grown apart from each other? Cecil said… Stuart was not born hating women; it started 15 years ago, also claustrophobia. How come he never mentioned it? Did something happen back then?"
