He laughed weakly and took a deep breath covering his face. "It sounds very suspicious, please be careful. He's probably doing it to get close to you, not caring you're a recent widow with children. So don't let yourself be alone with this man in case he tries something. Perhaps I should be home more." He sighed in thought and rubbed his eyes again. "Maybe I should take the clock back to this guy and explain that we don't need his 'charity'."
