Chapter 92:

Elyse fixed her gaze on Enzo, eager for an explanation. Tess echoed her sentiments, declaring loudly, “Exactly! My son is married. He cannot marry Joanna again. Why not contemplate having your other grandson marry her? He’s also at an appropriate age for marriage.” Her pointed stare landed on Brook.
