Aria Grant did have genuine feelings for George Flack. She put up with much humiliation and compromise just to be by his side.
The thought that George Flack disregarded her brought a wave of bitterness to Belly Wescott's heart.
These feelings were but one-sided wishes of hers.
George Flack didn't want to see her at all and promptly issued a dismissal order.
"What are you doing here? Haven't I already told you? Stay at home and take care of Dylan. It's not safe for him to be home alone. Go home and look after him."
"George, there are others at home to take care of Dylan, you need not worry." Belly Wescott was unwilling. Seeing the chicken soup on the table, she came up with an idea.
She grabbed a spoon, intending to feed George Flack some soup. She was moved by her own affectionate gesture.
While she was experiencing self-satisfaction, George suddenly raised his hand and knocked the spoon off of Belly's hand.
