Anthony got confused about what to tell his daughter-in-law, who was very happy and excited. He has not revealed the truth about Rachel that she had run away from home because of the marriage alliance he and James planned three months back. When both friends had a proposal of getting married to their grandchildren, Rachel had listened and following the argument with her grandpa she took a drastic step. She had returned today morning after going missing for three months. He can understand what his friend went through because of this incident and he will never force her for marriage. So he doesn't want to put James in a dilemma. He was therefore silent after hearing Catherine's words wondering what to tell her.
Catherine called her father-in-law twice to get his attention.
Anthony came to his senses and replied "yes, what are you asking..Sorry I was not listening" he thought to avoid the topic so that he can get more time to think.
