Chapter 1379

Marriage was no trivial matter, and Mrs. Fay couldn't make such a decision for her daughter so casually.

She exchanged a glance with Mr. Fay, who quickly poured Eugene a cup of tea. "Eugene, you've been talking since you arrived. Take a moment to relax and have some tea," he said.

"Mr. and Mrs. Fay, I genuinely want to marry Lydia. Our families are well-matched, and I assure you she would be well taken care of. My parents would treat her as their own daughter. Please, just give me your blessing." Eugene took the tea but didn't drink it, his eyes fixed on them with hope.

Mr. Fay hesitated. "Eugene, I still think this is all a bit rushed. Before any talk of marriage, we should meet with your parents and discuss the details thoroughly. So, take these gifts back for now, and let's set up a time to visit."

Eugene could sense the hesitancy in Mr. Fay's tone. He had pushed as hard as he could. Short of dragging Lydia down to the courthouse to get a marriage license, he had run out of options. Reluctantly, he stood up to leave, but refused to take back the gifts he had brought.
