Adam found his friends unreliable, and the only ones who could truly assist him were the two elderly ladies at home. They understood the intricacies of his marriage and could offer tailored guidance.
Catherine remained guarded. “Why did you bring so many things?”
Adam couldn’t help but chuckle at Catherine’s remark. “As a dutiful descendant, I couldn’t come empty-handed to pay my respects, could I?”
Catherine’s worries subsided. “It’s all because of your previous careless actions that I became afraid.”
Adam escorted Catherine into the house and dismissed the housekeeper and servants. “Grandma, where is Lumma’s grandmother?”
Catherine replied, “She’s feeling a bit unwell today. The doctor prescribed some medication, and she’s resting in her room.”
Adam promptly rose from his seat. “I’ll go check on her.”
Catherine intervened, “She has finally fallen asleep. Why disturb her now? Wait until she wakes up before you see her. If you have anything to discuss, tell me first. Don’t upset her.”
“Grandma, I treasure Lumma deeply, and I desire to spend my life with her. However, I am unsure how to navigate this marriage.” Adam grasped the old lady’s hand, and each word he uttered carried a weight beyond measure. “My parents had a troubled relationship, leading separate lives. I have never witnessed the dynamics of a healthy marital bond. Grandma, could you enlighten me?”
Adam’s words brimmed with sincerity, tinged with a hint of perplexity. Catherine found herself deeply moved…
During his childhood, Adam’s parents paid him little mind, and he often found solace by his Catherine’s side. She imparted countless lessons to him.
