Old Mrs. Wilson was momentarily stunned, thinking that due to her age, her hearing wasn't functioning well, and she had just heard things wrong.
"What did you just say?" Old Mrs. Wilson asked Charles Seymour, seeking confirmation, but unfortunately, Charles had no obligation to repeat himself.
He just looked at Old Mrs. Wilson as if she were an idiot, and this look served as a silent answer.
"This is simply absurd." Old Mrs. Wilson no longer cared about Charles' offensive gaze; her mind was in a bit of disarray.
What did Charles mean by those words?
All of it was because that person was Sophie Wilson.
Did Charles mean that regardless of whether it was a man, woman, old, or young, as long as it was Sophie Wilson, he would do this?
Or does it mean... in Charles' heart, Sophie is irreplaceable?
If that's the case... Old Mrs. Wilson felt a bit uneasy, because she remembered how she had not accepted Sophie Wilson initially.
Would Charles hold a grudge against her?
