Seeing his confused and irritated look, Margaret said, "Tellabout it then.What was she doing at the time, and what were you doing? What did the two of you talk about? I'll analyze the situation and see if you did or said anything wrong to make her unhappy." Margaret's words shocked Ralph, who shifted slightly to the side and looked at his mother in disbelief.
"Mom! You're kidding me, aren’t you? You want to analyze the situation for me? How would you know what's in her head? She's so much younger than you are!" "What? Are you callingan old woman?" Displeased, Margaret threw him a sidelong glance and asked.

"You don’t understand this.We're both women, and I'd understand her better than you, you silly boy.Con, are you going to tell me? I'm leaving if you're not going to say anything.By then, you can think about it yourself!" Margaret was about to get up, and it made Ralph give it sthought.
‘Whatever.Rather than being frustrated alone, | might as well listen to what she has to say" He quickly held Margaret's wrist to stop her from walking away.
"Mom! I'll tell you everything, all right?" Then, he started to recount today’s incident.
"lI went shopping today and wanted to buy her a gift.| bought a pearl bracelet, and when | cout of the store, | saw her at the cafe opposite the street.What a coincidence, right?" Margaret nodded.

Mom, she's already engaged tobut was drinking coffee with another man.How could she do that?" Ralph would still get mad wherever he thought about it.
At this point in the story, Margaret raised her brow.
"So you went to reprimand her for it?" "l did not!" Ralph shook his head and continued, "You think | should've done that too, don’t you? But the man left as soon as | entered through the door, so they were obviously guilty of doing something wrong! | just reminded her a little about her identity and asked her who the man was.Then, her expression turned dark because of that!" "You deserve it!" Margaret scoffed.

Ralph was stunned for a moment, unable to believe that his mother had just said those words, before he whined, "Mom! How could you say that? I'm your son!" "I'm teaching you a lesson here precisely because you're my son!" Margaret threw him a sideways glance, shaking her head as she sighed.
"She'd get angry at you when you accuse her of such a thing.Don’t you remember who she is?" "Do you think she’s like any other women you fooled around with in the past? Her family background is on par with ours, and we have this arranged marriage for the mutual benefit of the two parties.
Do you understand that? The both of you haven't gotten married yet, but you're already interfering with her private life.
Why would you say that she was on a blind date? What if she was just having coffee with a friend? Doesn't she have the right to do that?" "Te n "Even if we put that aside, it's normal for her to be on a blind date too.
Do you think everything is set in stone already? At such a crucial time, you should be working hard to win her over, but you're pushing her further away! Do you even still want to use the Riggs family’s influence to help you get back the things that should've belonged to you?"
