Her grandson was married and had a wife now.
If Rebecca Kelloway still liked Ashton Heath as much as before, Madam Heath would feel it was inappropriate.
So when Madam Heath pulled her aside to say these words, she was indirectly telling her that Ashton was married now, and she should keep some distance.
Rebecca was intelligent, and she could clearly understand this.
Her face changed several times while Madam Heath was speaking.
Though Madam Heath's original intention was for her own good, the words sounded harsh to Rebecca.
She didn't take in a single word.
She didn't feel that Madam Heath was doing this for her, on the contrary, she felt that Madam Heath was being partial.
They all knew that she and Ashton Heath had grown up together, and they all thought she would marry him in the future.
Everyone thought they were the most compatible couple.
So why should she step aside?
Just because Ashton was married?
