She regretted, "Ah, that's really too bad. Scarlett is such a good young lady, and now some young man is going to benefit from her."
The old lady smiled but said nothing.
Mrs. Philip thought it was about time to leave.
The old lady courteously held back, "It's almost time for dinner. Why don't you stay and join us for dinner tonight?"
Mrs. Philip of course wanted to refuse. The Davis family was having a reunion tonight; what place did they have staying here?
But Shirley preemptively said, "Sure, thank you Grandma Davis. I haven't seen you in so long, I really miss you and don't want to leave so early. Grandma, let's stay."
Scarlett Glenn rolled her eyes on the side, scoffing... Her act was not convincing at all. Stay if you want, just to see what you're up to.
Now that her granddaughter had spoken, Mrs. Philip was immediately embarrassed, torn between staying and leaving.
The old lady took another look at Shirley, "Then stay, we'll have the kitchen prepare a few more dishes."
