"Why didn't you wait for her before coming in!"
"Fiona isn't some child, she's been at the Ford residence longer than Finn." Mrs. Ford immediately replied unhappily when Mr. Ford mentioned Finn.
Mr. Ford wisely shut his mouth; with Julian Ford and Mrs. Ford letting Fiona Ford return, he found Finn Chandler, the daughter-in-law, much more pleasing.
"Finn."
Mrs. Ford called Finn over, and Finn walked up to her. Mrs. Ford asked, "Has your grandfather already left?"
"Yes!"
Finn nodded.
"I think your grandfather hasn't forgiven you."
"If you go back to the Imperial Capital later, bring Julian with you."
Mrs. Ford always had a keen eye for people; even Old Master Chambers made Mr. Ford uncomfortable, let alone herself.
"He can't accept this change in your status anytime soon."
"Be careful with him!"
Finn nodded at Mrs. Ford's advice.
"Mom, I'll go back to the room to check on Little Treasure."
"Go ahead."
