Norman had always valued Gareth’s opinions, as the two shared the same mindset. In fact, Norman also thought of Carissa in the same manner as Gareth did.

Once Gareth spoke up, everyone nodded in agreement, primarily because Norman had shown his support first. He never hesitated to express his approval for his fourth son.
