Aiken said this because he genuinely believed in the statement, but also as a warning to Barclay not to doubt Moira easily.

Barclay politely agreed with Aiken’s sentiment. After chatting for a while, Aiken excused himself and went upstairs, leaving Moira and Barclay alone in the living room.

Barclay leisurely set down his coffee and turned to Maira beside him “Mrs. Covington, should we head home?”

Upon hearing this, Moira felt somewhat embarrassed. “Sorry, Alfie was bothering me, so I called you. Anyway, how about we go out for something to eat?” She finished speaking, biting her lip, unable to meet Barclay’s gaze, feeling guilty.
