"You're frowning, Grandma. Is something the matter? I've been coming back home more frequently, haven't I?" Sherman remarked casually and settled right next to Chelsea.

Simona, Sherman's mother, frowned deeply at his nonchalance. "What's with the attitude?"

Sherman adjusted his tie and felt the weight of the day's work bearing down on him. The only time he could relax was when he was home. "What do you mean? Why is everyone so on edge?"

"That's true. We cannot treat marriage lightly. Two people who do not love each other should not be forced to be together. Let's accommodate their demands as best we can in financial terms," Chelsea concurred, turning her gaze to Sherman who remained aloof.

"You're making a mountain out of a molehill. I've done nothing disgraceful, so please don't work yourselves up over this. I promise I'll resolve this matter without implicating our family," said Sherman. Simona could not shake her concern. "But it must be such a pity for that girl, or else her father wouldn't have come over to seek us out. I feel like I should go and meet her."
