Charles reminds Jacobeth of what happened just as she believes everyone has forgotten. Whether Jacobeth is there to help Charles with his business or not is irrelevant to Charles. Charles wants Jacobeth to know that he is aware of all the events surrounding her relationship with Mr. Kganyago.

Jacobeth went to the worst spot imaginable in her attempt to get some fresh air outside the house. It might have been worse for her if Mabongwa had been present. Because his son needs him the most, Charles needs to take care of business.

I think Jacobeth needs to find a new activity to do since she resigned at school. It is also possible for her to work as a retired teacher, she needs to speak to Magongwa. Her life has not been the same since Kganyago. Jacobeth is a good person, she deserves to be happy.
