Edith thought that after talking with Neil during dinner, she had liked him a little bit more.
This man might be a man of a few words to others, but he would say more than he usually does to convince her. Last time, he had convinced her that the reason he had kissed her had nothing to do with him wanting her to stay for Hazel. This time, he had convinced her that he did not mind her background and she should not be insecure when they are together.
She did not need to match him and he did not need her to help him to boost his career.
If he wanted to talk about business, he can always do that with the directors, managers, or his business partner. What he needed was for her to stay by his side and be the person where he could return to whenever he was tired. The person he needed was someone who can accompany him in life. As long as they love each other, everything else would not matter.
Whenever Edith recalled his words again, she had the urge to swoon.
