Old Madam Shen and Madam Ma were reluctant to leave Liliana alone with Asher but, they understood the spouses needed privacy. They just watched in silence when Liliana led Asher out of the lounge.
"Lili will be fine, right?" Old Madam Shen's tone was imbued with deep concern.
"She will be," Madam Ma reassured the older lady, "Since the Young Master is here, they should have a private talk."
Old Madam Shen hummed in understanding.
Deep inside her heart, a desire to see Liliana and Asher reconciled still lit up faintly but... it was just her wishful thinking.
Old Madam Shen didn't want Liliana to grow resentful as the disappointment kept piling up. Her happiness was also at stake.
Her grandson had to let go of the young maiden.
If Asher still wouldn't agree with the divorce after his talk with Liliana, Old Madam Shen had to fully utilize her power as the family matriarch. She hadn't done so because she wished to see one bit of decency coming from her grandson.
