The Richardson family originally intended for Ricky Lewis to directly bring Gale Summer back to their big courtyard, but Ricky didn't agree, saying he couldn't even call that place home, how could Gale possibly consider it her home?
Moreover, letting Gale live in the same big courtyard as Old Master Richardson and Frederick felt awkward to Ricky. He believed it was better to stick to the old ways; if he was in Bay City, visiting the Richardson family once a week would suffice.
Gale wasn't particularly opposed to Minister Richardson and his son, but since Ricky himself didn't want to live at the Richardson family home, of course, she would live with her husband.
On their wedding night, Ricky drove Gale to the house he was building, which was still unfinished due to the lack of time for renovations.
