The emotional turmoil of losing your beloved combined with the prospect of seeing the son of your beloved is hard. Your secret affair with your lover does not provide you with the opportunity to a visible part of that person life and certainly not after his/her death. You are not a priority if your lover won't announce your relationship; you are probably second or third to someone else. A mentor who preyed on a young student and a child who knew that his father was not loyal and honest with his family. A shattering moment for the young lover to know that his lover left him a monument... a cup, something that could break easily.
