After Anne Sutton said this, she laughed to herself. "Maybe it's because I've met your mother before, so I didn't get a very good impression of her. But thinking about it, why would she treat you like that? She just dislikes Nathan Fawcett, not you."
'At the Linden family home, she had seen how Anna Linden treated Ethan, and it was quite good—not harsh like she used to be with Nathan.'
Nathan Fawcett heard her but didn't respond.
Sometimes, when you go through something yourself, you don't necessarily feel wronged.
But when someone else points it out, that's when the feeling of grievance really hits you.
...
Nathan didn't continue the conversation.
Anne said a few more things, but she was so tired that she fell asleep on his shoulder.
Ian knew she was exhausted, so he didn't make a fuss.
He just spoke quietly to Nathan beside them.
When they arrived home, Nathan woke Anne, and she got out of the car.
