Beatrice Fairman was proud of her welcoming home, so she was thrilled when her son Matthew and his wife Rita moved in. The spacious house felt too big for one, and Beatrice, lonely since her husband’s passing, enjoyed the new family dynamic. Initially, everything went well, with Beatrice managing the household while Matthew and Rita worked.
However, Matthew’s frequent travel for work strained their relationship. As his calls became less frequent, both Beatrice and Rita felt abandoned. When Matthew was sent to London for six months and stopped calling altogether, panic set in when Rita learned he had returned home early without contacting them.
Weeks passed with no word from Matthew, and Rita’s frustration turned into anger towards Beatrice. As Rita spent more time away with new men, her behavior grew cruel, ultimately banishing Beatrice to the garage for her new boyfriend. Isolated and heartbroken, Beatrice longed for her son’s return.
One day, Beatrice was overjoyed to see Matthew return, explaining he had been in the hospital recovering from an accident in London. Concerned about Rita, Beatrice shared her situation, prompting Matthew to confront her and demand she leave. With Rita gone, Matthew focused on restoring their home and their bond, bringing Beatrice the peace she had longed for.
