What does Chubukov at first suspect that Lomov has come for? Is he sincere when he later says “And I’ve always loved you, my angel, as if you were my own son”? Find reasons for your answer from the play.

At first, Chubukov assumed that Lomov had come to borrow money. He was not sincere when he told Lomov that he had always loved him and that he was like his own son. He was certain that he would not give any money to him if he would come to borrow from him. If he really meant what he had said, then he would not have thought of not giving him money. He said so only because Lomov had come with the offer to marry his daughter.
