Zoe went downstairs, trying to explain to Mrs. Dottie.
However, Mrs. Dottie did not believe what she said at all.
On the contrary, she gave her a suggestive look, “I understand, Madam. You don’t have to be shy about it. It's a great thing for couples to share a good relationship. Soon, a little young master will be on the way, and all the hustle and bustle in the Mansion."
In short, she rambled on but refused to believe Zoe about it being a misunderstanding.
Zoe gave up when she found that Mrs. Dottie was difficult to get through.
Technically speaking, Henry and she was a legally married couple. So it was nothing out of the ordinary for them to be engaging in a little intimacy.
It was quite awkward to be caught red-handed by elders but it was not a big deal.
Zoe decided to abandon her plan to forgo the chance to restore her uppity image in Mrs. Dottie's mind. Instead, she poured herself a glass of milk and headed upstairs.
