Edward and old lady Mayfair had been trading glances as they eavesdropped the conversation. Initially they were taken back when she proposed, a thing which the old fashioned lady Mayfair did not approve of but if it was Collin's choice, she planned to respect it.
However, when they heard about Kelly's unfaithfulness, they were miffed. The old lady wanted to come out of hiding and throw Kelly out but Edward stopped her.
Luckily, he stopped her in time or they would not have been able to overhear the concerning remarks she raised about the relationship between Collin and Ruth.
As soon as Collin left, they came of hiding, each with a worried expression on the face.
"Mother, did you hear that? It can't really be that....can it?" Edward expressed his concern about the matter.
