Violet took a deep breath, "I have a friend, he grew up under the care of his uncle and aunt, but when he was thirteen years old, his uncle and aunt died, however, when he was fifteen years old, he wrote a diary, it was written that he had feeling for his aunt, is that normal?"
She didn't directly say that the friend was Ivan and that uncle and aunt were Stanley's parents.
After all, this was a family matter of the Murphy family, and what should be concealed should still be concealed.
When George heard what Violet said, he raised his eyebrows in some surprise, "You mean to say that friend of yours is in love with his aunt, right?"
"Right." Violet nodded.
George pushed up his glasses and asked again, "Why did he grow up at the care of his uncle and aunt? His parents died?"
"No, it's just that both his parents didn't care about him, one was out looking for women every day, one went out to catch a mistress every day, and even hates my friend, thinking that my friend is a son who can't even keep his father." Violet shook her head.
George lifted his chin, "So that's how it is, I probably understand. First of all, the fact that a nephew fell in love with his aunt is definitely not normal, generally speaking, to fall in love with a female much older than oneself, that person has more or less some psychological problems, and the biggest problem is the lack of motherly love since childhood."
"Lack of motherly love?" Violet frowned.
George nodded, "That's right, his parents didn't treat him well, so he didn't experience love from his parents since he was young, so his world was grey and at this time, his aunt who was much older than him appeared in his world, gave him love and let him experience love, and over time, he naturally turned his feelings towards his aunt."
"So that's it." Violet squeezed her palms.
George added, "But such cases are rare, I've only seen a few cases of affection turning into love like this."
"It's not normal because it's less." Violet said.
George nodded, "Yes, generally, people won't have such feelings for their aunts, that friend of yours is indeed abnormal, but the biggest reason for this abnormality of his is possibly the death of his aunt, which stimulated him to some extent, making him miss her even more, to the point that it turned into male and female feelings. "
"I got it, thank you, George." Violet rubbed her temples.
George gave a light laugh, "You're welcome, is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Not for now." Violet said.
"I'll hang up first, I have a surgery later, talk to you next time." George offered to hang up the phone.
Violet agreed.
The call ended and she put the phone down, getting up and heading upstairs.
When she arrived outside Stanley's study door, she was just about to raise her hand and knock, the door opened.
Bella came out from inside and was surprised to see Violet, "Mrs. Murphy, why are you up here?"
"I'm worried about him and came to talk to him about something." Violet replied, "How is he now?"
"He is reading a diary." Bella said.
Violet nodded, "I know, Bella, go and get to work. I'll go in first and check on him."
"Okay." Bella smiled and stepped aside to let her in.
Violet entered and gently closed the door behind her, lifting her feet towards her desk.
The man was sitting right behind the office desk with a notebook, looking intently at it.
But his brow was furrowed, and it was clear that the rest of the diary, too, displeased him.
She wondered what Ivan wrote about other than his feelings for his aunt.
"Stanley." Violet stood at the front of his desk and called out to the man across from her.
Stanley looked up, although his face looked bad because of this notebook, but to her, his attitude was still gentle, "What brings you here?"
"I came to see you, plus I wanted to talk to you about something." Violet pulled out a chair and sat down.
Stanley looked at her, "What is it?"
