Elizabeth pretended to be someone experienced, but in reality, she was just deluding herself.
If Martina truly cared about these things, she wouldn't have acted this way. It was precisely because she had long lost all inhibitions, that even if she went too far, she didn't have to worry. In fact, she hoped Benjamin would grow disgusted with her and then cast her aside.
Yet, Elizabeth still couldn't grasp the situation and continued to mutter to herself, as if she were the true authority on Martina in this household, and she said, "Martina, you must keep in mind that no matter how deep you love each other, if you continue to act recklessly, it will ultimately harm both yourself and others. Be careful, as in the future, my son may never experience such a deep state of love again."
Martina wondered, what would she have said if it were before? Probably she would have pretended not to understand the ironic undertone, and then stubbornly followed Elizabeth's words.
