The days in Jones Villa had been gloomy for quite a few days. Ever since that incident, Olivia and Edward had a severe fall out with each other. Edward would rarely be at home while Olivia had no intention of calling him or checking about him. She let him be on his own, assuming that ultimately at the end he would be back at home.

Apart from taking a look over the branch, he might as well use this opportunity to visit his son and his daughter-in-law. He was sure that if he informed Elijah about his intentions of visiting there, he might as well go somewhere instead of meeting him. So he roughly told him about inspecting the branch.
