Kathryn stopped answering. She couldn’t say anything about her parents’ marriage.
“Your dad also said that there is someone in my heart, but I have never cheated on him. Those are allin the past. Who doesn’t have the past? Your dad never broke up with the women around him beforehe came to your door. Isn’t that his past?
After I came to the door, I didn’t settle the old score with him. He had the nerve to say that I hadsomeone in my heart.”
Kathryn’s beautiful eyes flashed. “Mom, the man in your heart must be very good, right?”
Matriarch Farrell: “He is very good—a hundred times better than your father. I’m going away in twodays, and the old friend I’m going to meet is the one in my heart. I haven’t seen him for decades, but Idon’t know if he still remembers me. Maybe he doesn’t remember. It’s also possible that he canremember even if I turn into ashes.”

Matriarch Farrell said to Kathryn, “Kathryn, you go out first. If you haven’t eaten yet, go downstairs toeat. If I don’t ask you to come in, don’t come in.”
Kathryn: “Mom, please take care of yourself and don’t get angry.”

Erika saw the food she was holding in Kathryn’s hands like a housekeeper and couldn’t help but say,“Kathryn, why are you acting like a child and buying this food to eat? Your nieces and nephews rarelyeat these things. If you want to eat it, ask the chef to help you make your own candied haws. It’s cleanand hygienic. You can also make marshmallows yourself; there is no need to buy them outside.”
Kathryn smiled and said, “I just went out to play in the afternoon and saw many people buying it. Ijoined in the fun and bought it to taste. I won’t buy it next time. Sister-in-law, mom asked you to go in.Go in quickly. Don’t keep mom waiting.”
Erika hummed and was about to go in, then stopped, grabbed Kathryn, who was about to leave, andasked in a low voice, “Kathryn, what do you want me to do?”
