"Has that actress stopped pestering you lately? Good for her, knowing her place. Bennett, I don't care about your flings, but after you're married, you'd better settle down. A man needs to be responsible. Don't be like your father, bringing two bastards into my life to annoy me."
"Have you not been in touch with Yolanda lately? It takes a special talent to anger someone as gentle as her."
"Now that you're out of the hospital, you need to find some time to go to the Walkers and make things right with Yolanda…"
As Emma continued to drone on, her words went in one of Bennett's ears and out the other. Annoyed, he finally cut her off with a curt, "Yes, I know."
"Good, as long as you know. I've set my heart on Yolanda as my daughter-in-law. If you scare her off, you'll have me to answer to." With that, Emma finally fell silent.
After his discharge, Bennett spent one night at Thompson Manor.
The next day, at Emma's insistence, he went to visit the Walker family.
Following her parents' advice, Yolanda hadn't visited Bennett in the hospital, nor had she texted or called him.
And Bennett hadn't contacted her either, acting as if he'd forgotten her completely.
Yolanda grew increasingly anxious, even starting to resent her parents for their terrible advice.
"Bennett hasn't contacted me in ages, and he didn't even tell me he was discharged. I heard from a nurse that Yvonne has been at the hospital every day, fawning all over him! Mom, by telling me not to go, you just made room for another woman."
Yolanda was on edge. Every time she remembered the sight of Bennett and Yvonne's passionate kiss, she felt like she was about to fall apart.
"What are you so worried about? She's a nobody. Emma would never let her into the Thompson family. You're young, so you think love is everything. A relationship might be between two people, but marriage is between two families. Why would the Thompsons pass up a perfect match like you for the daughter of an ex-convict?"
