Thomas didn't make a fuss. He got into his own car with Alice, but he didn't leave right away. He waited until the Shaw Family, the four of them, got in their car and drove off, then pulled out and followed.

Alexander sat in his own car with Benjamin. Today he'd driven over himself; he hadn't brought the driver.
When they were getting in, Isla wanted to sit with the two of them, but he turned her down and told her to go ride in Charlotte's car.
He'd arranged it that way on purpose, just wanting to have a heart-to-heart with his son who'd just recovered. With his wife there, father and son would never really talk.
When Benjamin saw his dad refuse to let his mom get in the car just now, he figured out what his dad was up to. His dad wanted to talk to him, and as for what he wanted to talk about, Benjamin already had a good guess.
The moment his dad opened his mouth, Benjamin was one hundred percent sure his guess was right.
