Naomi stared at Wendy for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Sure."
Charles had never brought up Naomi's divorce to his family before. Now that his mother mentioned Willowstown, which was Scott's hometown, he could clearly see Naomi's hesitation before finally replying. He tried to stop Wendy from continuing by piping up, "Well, we should get going now, Mom."
Wendy did not want them to leave so soon, but she knew she could not let them stay any longer, so she nodded reluctantly. "Go ahead…"
Naomi gave Wendy one last smile before finally turning and leaving with Charles.
Wendy watched wistfully as the pair rounded the corner and disappeared. She felt like she was at an airport, sending her son and daughter-in-law off to somewhere far away. She hated this feeling.
Naomi and Charles stepped into the elevator together. Charles glanced at her, then said cautiously, "My mother… What she said about Willowstown… I hope you don't take it to heart. She doesn't mean any ill will. She just wants to show you around her hometown. There's nothing more to it."
Naomi had left Willowstown since her divorce, so clearly, Willowstown was a place of sorrow and heartbreak for her. This was why Charles rarely mentioned Willowstown in front of her, fearing that it would remind her of her tragic past.
Naomi's expression had changed when Wendy mentioned Willowstown just now, so Charles knew that this had brought up some bad memories for her.
He was worried that Naomi would get upset at him and even distance herself from him because of this.
He was so nervous that he could not help stuttering when he said this.
Naomi, on the other hand, had realized something else. It would appear from Wendy's reaction that she did not know of her divorce, most likely because Charles had never told her.
This was the reason she had hesitated, not because Wendy had mentioned Willowstown but because she could tell that Wendy was oblivious to her past.
