Chapter 460:

In their twilight years, surrounded by a lifetime of power and pretense, genuine affection was what they valued most. Setting aside his newspaper, Shawn interjected thoughtfully, “Kristopher may not have been the most attentive husband recently, but he and Lise do share a history. It would be heartless of him to remain indifferent to her struggles.”

“I see your point, Shawn,” Carrie replied, although she harbored reservations. She recognized the challenge for Shawn, once a patriarch, to fully grasp her perspective, given their different life experiences and generational gaps.
