According to the plan, Henry Chapman and Mrs. Chapman were supposed to stay here just for a short while and then leave.
But Ernesto Scott and Mrs. Chapman both wanted to "build a good relationship" with each other and hoped Nora Scott and Henry Chapman could spend more time together privately, so they dragged out the time until the sun set before Mrs. Chapman had any intention of leaving.
Henry Chapman and Nora Scott played games in the room all afternoon, and only after receiving greetings from both Mrs. Chapman and Ernesto Scott, did they relax and hurried downstairs.
—If they kept playing, their eyes would go blind.
"Nora, will you stay for dinner?"
Ernesto Scott asked eagerly as soon as he saw Nora Scott coming downstairs.
"No, I'll go back and eat." Seeing Ernesto Scott's disappointed face, Nora Scott added, "I've arranged with Easton."
"Alright, that's fine."
Ernesto Scott nodded.
