Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 686

The Farrell family had remained silent for quite some time. After several reminders from Eleanor, Gemma had no choice but to visit the Farrell family's residence in person.

Upon arriving, she learned that Thomas had gone to Stonebrook District to visit Wilfred, a member of the former Septimus Tetra reconnaissance team. Apparently, Wilfred had encountered a mishap, so Thomas had rushed there with Felix, the adopted son of the Quinton family.

Alice expressed her apologies, "This should have been settled long ago, but that stubborn boy insisted on checking on his comrade before making any arrangements. I don't understand his thinking, but I'm very keen on Ms. Sanford. When I saw her the other day, my eyes lit up so brightly as I wished I could bring her home as a daughter-in-law right then and there." Alice's sincerity, coupled with her obvious affection for Lisette, convinced Gemma.

She said, "Even though Thomas is not in the capital, you two did have a chance to talk. Didn't you ask him if he liked her? If he does, we should settle the engagement as soon as possible. I'd feel much better knowing her marriage is secure. "Besides, marriage is a significant matter. It's determined by the wishes of the parents and the matchmaker. As long as Thomas doesn't oppose it, you can take the lead without waiting for him to return."

Alice pondered for a moment, then replied, "What you say makes sense. How about this? I'll pick a favorable day to visit and have someone check their horoscope compatibility. If everything looks good, I'll formally send someone to propose. How does that sound?" Gemma felt a weight lift off her shoulders. Eleanor was always pushing and prodding, which was exhausting.

She smiled and said, "Oh dear, it feels like I'm the one pressuring the marriage arrangements! But honestly, Lisette isn't getting any younger. If you don't think she's a good fit for Thomas, I need to find her another match soon to appease her family. It's good to settle this now. It puts my mind at ease."
