Most of the time, when people face the kind of problem Lynch is currently dealing with, they tend to act gentlemanly, subtly hinting to the girl why the maid is lingering here and not leaving.
But Lynch is not an ordinary person. His response is straightforward: "Your father is afraid I'll do something inappropriate to you, so he arranged for someone to watch me."
The girl quickly understood what Lynch meant by "something inappropriate." She gritted her teeth and complained, "Why would he do this? It makes me very passive, and I feel humiliated, Lynch!"
Severa is already in her twenties, a true adult, but she continues to be restrained by her father, even having someone watch over her while she talks about certain things with Lynch.
This leaves her feeling offended, although this offense has always been there.
Mary Joe couldn't maintain her silence any longer and tried to explain, but Lynch spoke first, "Because he loves you, everyone loves you."
