Gloria rested for 20 minutes. Sleep evaded her despite her trying her best to fall asleep.
Gloria asked Edgar to brew a pot of tea for her.
Edgar noticed something off about her while drinking tea. He asked, "Why do I feel like there's something on your mind?"
Gloria was clearly overjoyed to have Joe and Skylar over. The house had been bustling with activity, making it extremely lively. However, why did she seem so burdened with worries once they left?
Gloria took a sip of her tea. She frowned before saying, "Did you notice anything from Rowan and Jenny's visit today?"
Edgar was momentarily stunned. He then realized what was going on.
He could also sense Gloria's thoughts. After all, he'd been taking care of her for decades. Under her influence, his perception had sharpened. He could tell what people were thinking.
"I'm going to be honest with you, Mrs. Martin Senior. I can tell that Jenny likes Mr. Martin. I didn't think much of it when she was young. Some of her thoughts have become evident now that she has grown up. She's clearly jealous of Mrs. Martin. However, I'm sure you've definitely realized," said Edgar.
Gloria nodded and replied, "You're right. Skye is a kind-hearted and intelligent woman. How could she miss it? She definitely feels sad about it."
"Joe has made his stand clear. He has kept his distance from Jenny. Mrs. Martin probably won't think much of it. Only Jenny might be confounded. She probably feels wronged by how Mr. Martin keeps his distance from her." Although Edgar had been silent, he'd seen everything behind the scenes.
Gloria harrumphed. She said, "I'll give Joe credit for knowing what to do and what not to. If he dares betray Skylar, I won't let him get away with it.
"I watched Jenny grow up. She looks naїve and trusting, but she gets jealous easily. Because of her jealousy, she might make mistakes. Don't let her hurt Skylar."
"Don't worry, Mrs. Martin Senior. I'm sure Mr. Martin will make the necessary arrangements. In addition, Mrs. Martin won't be easily bullied, as her personality shows. If she's treated properly and everything goes well, Skylar will welcome them with open arms.
"If they were shameless enough to offend her, she would attack mercilessly. She wouldn't let herself be pushed around."
Gloria grinned and rolled her eyes at Edgar. She joked, "Look at that description of yours. Skylar's personality is exactly what I like."
"Take care of your health, Mr. Martin Senior. As to everything else, Mr. Martin and Mrs. Martin will sort themselves out," continued Edgar.
Gloria nodded and said, "The younger generations have their own brand of happiness. I'll let this go. There's no point in dwelling upon this."
