In truth, they had frequently put on such a tit-for-tat scene at home in the following years. The thought of the two men falling out with each other as a result of the matter had even crossed my mind.
However, when this had happened, Aaron was at a point where he could say nothing in return. Instead of retorting loudly, he swallowed his anger and let it be.

After the Cultural City project was over, Hendrix kept his promise and supported Anne's idea to set up a bar. The Moore and the Roberts family had not been involved in that sector, so we were bound to make enemies for taking out a part of others' market share and profit. That was why we had to be more careful and alert.
After a moment's thought, I told Hendrix, "Tell Evan to come to the Roberts Mansion. I want to familiarize myself with bar- related information.
Anne isn't an adult yet. Let's make sure everything goes well for her."

"She identifies as Irvin's wife," the maid replied.
That would be Shirley.
After she returned to Zuckerburg, we had yet to meet each other nor catch up.
