By now, Emma had left the hospital and returned to Thompson Manor.
For once, Frank had no evening engagements and was sitting on the living room sofa, sipping a cup of fine red tea.
"Weren't you going to stay with Bennett? Why are you back so soon?" Frank asked as his wife walked in.
"Your precious son is in his room getting cozy with that actress. I would have been in the way. What else was I supposed to do but come home?"
Emma sat down next to Frank, fuming.
Frank merely raised an eyebrow, not nearly as upset as she was. He gestured for a maid to pour her some tea.
"Have some tea and calm down. I thought it was something serious. It's just a woman. If Bennett likes her, what's the harm in keeping her around?"
"He and Yolanda aren't even married yet, and he's already keeping a mistress! What kind of disgraceful behavior is that?" Emma took the tea from the maid and drank half of it in one gulp, which only seemed to fuel her anger.
"You men are all the same."
"You were talking about our son. How did I get dragged into this?" Frank said defensively.
He felt like an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. Deciding it was best to keep quiet, he raised his teacup and continued to sip his tea.
The living room fell into a brief silence, broken by the vibration of a cellphone.
Frank picked up his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and frowned slightly before answering.
Emma watched as her husband's expression soured. "What is it?" she asked after he hung up.
"The Walker family is calling to demand an explanation," Frank said, tossing the phone back onto the coffee table with a look of annoyance.
