On their fifth wedding anniversary, Emma Bennett learned that Theodore Whitman's first love had returned to the country. That very night, she discovered him in the bathroom, pleasuring himself while whispering that woman's name. So this was the reason Theodore had never slept with her in all their five years of marriage. Theodore Whitman: "Emma, Cecilia is all alone here. She has no one. I'm only helping her as a friend." Emma Bennett: "I see." Theodore Whitman: "Emma, I promised Cecilia I'd celebrate her birthday with her on the island. I'm just keeping my word." Emma Bennett: "Okay." Theodore Whitman: "Emma, this banquet requires a presentable assistant. Cecilia is more suited than you are."
