"Sister-in-law, my brother married you, and since he married you, it means he loves you. He has already forgotten that person. I just said something wrong. Please, don't get mad at me, or my brother will get mad at me... Sister-in-law, don't blame my brother... it's all my fault. I shouldn't have told you..."
Eleanor Whittaker's big eyes were misty, looking pitifully at Tessa Caldwell.
The cautious way she acted was as if she had suffered a huge grievance.
Tessa Caldwell glanced at each of them.
If Florence Ford hadn't said that last line and made that last expression, Tessa would have thought Eleanor was naive and innocent in her words.
Pretending to be innocent to sting others was a tactic she often used, but when she used it, her mind was clear as a mirror.
She didn't believe Eleanor would be brainless. Eleanor grew up abroad, her personality was bold. If Eleanor had realized she said something wrong and casually apologized, then she would believe her.
