Claire Prescott calmly replied, "We're a couple. I'm sorry, my boyfriend saw how tiring my medical appointment was, and specially brought me here. I hope you don't mind."
Upon hearing they were in a relationship, The Lady of Pearls was astonished, her pupils slightly enlarged.
This moment reminded her of when she was playing cards at Southwind Courtyard and Madeline White mentioned that her son had taken a liking to a young physician.
Back then, no one connected that the young physician Madeline White mentioned was the same as the one mentioned by a fellow card player.

Looking back now, she realized there was a reason for that statement, perhaps fearing someone would really steal away.
Seeing her lost in thought, Claire Prescott gently reminded, "Auntie Sutton."
The Lady of Pearls responded, "I don't mind."
