He considered himself a member of Beatrice's family and did not want Katherine to suffer.

So, he had to stay and look after Katherine and their family.

Simon returned not long after the few of them had settled on the sofa.

He was delighted to see Anthony and immediately asked him to accompany him to the study for a chat, leaving Katherine alone in the lion's den.

Meanwhile, Beatrice pretended that she didn't notice it and busied herself silently having breathing exercises.
