While Jack was contemplating, Christine seized the moment and said in an innocent tone, "I only knew you liked her and thought of her as a potential future hostess, so I took a bit of care of her."

Thinking about how pitiful Charlotte was to be liked by such a despicable and selfish man made Christine feel a bit sorry for her. Jack put aside this matter and got straight to the point.
