Hertha's heart, previously racing with fear, finally settled down.
She smiled, saying, "All is well. Bridget, you've been such a help." Bridget let out a sigh of relief, responding, "It's what I'm here for." "Mummy, Emmeline is so kind. She gavecandy," Julian said with his sweet, youthful voice, his chubby little hand clutching a brightly wrapped piece of candy, his cute face beaming with joy.

"Uh-huh," Julian nodded vigorously, turning back to the young woman standing behind him. "Emmeline, thank you for the candy." "Thanks, Emmeline. I love you so much," Helena chimed in playfully, smiling at the young woman. Her pockets were stuffed with candies, all from Emmeline.
That's when Hertha's attention shifted to the young woman who had entered with Bridget.
As their gazes met, the young woman smiled warmly. "Don't mention it. You two are adorable. I hope to have two lovely kids like you someday."

He placed the last clean dish in the cupboard, wiped his hands, and approached her.
His gaze softened as he looked at Emmeline, "Did you have to wait long? I'll make you dinner." Seeing Spencer's tender look towards the woman, Hertha realized who she must be! She must be Spencer's new girlfriend! Here she was, having her guest's boyfriend do her dishes.
How embarrassing and guilt-inducing!
