Perhaps out of love for Evelyn, he even shows concern for Aaron, his stepson.

On the day of the wedding, Aaron attends the ceremony.

Afterward, at the dinner table, he casually mentions to Charles that the

atmosphere at the wedding is wonderful- there weren't many guests, but it was lively.

Charles simply chews his food in silence, unwilling to give even a glance in response.

Not only did he go, but he also brought a gift.

A bank card.

Evelyn hasn't accepted it.
