By her side, Sunny Bridge looked at Lady Parker's countenance, her heart sinking, her eyes filled with loss she asked, "Madam White, is Frank not coming home?"
Lady Parker turned her head, took her hand, and sighed lightly: "I'm afraid he won't be back today. He's had an important issue at work that requires his personal attention, so there's nothing he can do."
"Sunny, you are so understanding. You must understand that for a man, his career is very important."
Even if Sunny felt unhappy, she had to feign understanding and compassion, and with restrained displeasure, she nodded: "Madam White, I do understand."
"What a good child." Lady Parker complimented her, "Frank needs a woman by his side who is both gentle and understanding. If you two could be together, that would be wonderful, then I wouldn't have to worry about him being alone without a woman to care for him."
