The entire Hale Family was in an uproar, but out of respect for Old Sir Hale, no one dared to speak out.
Time passed, and still no one said a word.
William Hale texted again: "Grandpa, are you still there?"
Old Sir Hale: "Marriage? You must be joking with me, son!"
"I'm serious."
"Come back home right now!"
"Weren't you the one who said there's no place for me in this home? I'll take my passport card and leave. I won't delay any longer than necessary, so I won't be an eyesore or bother you. If you really don't want to see me, you might choose to mail it."
"William Hale, you scoundrel—"
"..."
Zoe Bell had no idea what her husband had done.
In the afternoon, as overcast skies blocked the sunlight and a sudden downpour fell, Zoe Bell took a short nap and woke up at dusk.
Nanny Parker was cooking, and since Zoe had nothing else to do, she helped out while learning about the members of the Hale family from Nanny Parker.
