Amabel, watching the mother and son pair teasing each other and pretending like they didn't know each other, she found them so adorable.
She wasn't upset that they were acting like that. In fact, she was so happy, especially when she heard Valentine admitting his feelings for her in front of his mother. That was one level of acceptance that any other mistress out there would die for.
The fact that he was there, and the old lady was holding her arm when talking about feelings, didn't she surpass Philippa by miles so far?
If that woman was loved and wanted in that household, she wouldn't be seeing the old lady her personally in her life. Even with a child, it was possible for the old lady to have her people cater to her, and not her personally.
That spoke volumes and she felt that she needed to be willful, just to enjoy this kind of treatment. Where else would she get it?
