look at chapter 9 page 9, i think her child is also mentioned there... it seems to be a sensitive issue...
or i'm reading it wrong and the kid is just assuming she has a child and the mother apologizes for his rashness...
She has a child. She mentioned them in the pub chapter. It seems like the child lives with the father; I guess they’re divorced. Sounds like she is ashamed to visit while unemployed? Honestly, MC seems profoundly depressed.
