Mrs. Green frowned slightly. 'Her daughter can't keep acting so stubborn. No matter what, a woman can never win against a man. Besides, Ethan Hawthorne controls the Hawthorne family's fortune. To put it bluntly, even if he got divorced, he could find pretty young virgins anywhere. It wouldn't be so easy for my daughter to find another good husband.'
"Don't be so willful. Have a proper talk with your husband. Why don't you move back to Tristone? If you're there to watch him, he won't go out and..."
Mrs. Green stopped herself. She couldn't very well say such things in front of Adrian Hawthorne. But Rosalind Green understood. She shook her head and gave a bitter smile.

At the time, Ethan Hawthorne had claimed it was to protect her and their son. Rosalind Green had been quite touched, but now, she only found it ironic.
