Cecilia, alarmed by the noise from downstairs, grew concerned and approached the door, gently asking, “Mark, what's the matter? Please talk it out calmly."

Mark's voice carried a hint of tension as he replied, “It's nothing, don't worry. Go get some rest."

On serious matters, Cecilia found herself in a complex blend of fear and obedience towards her husband.

She complied and left.
