Chapter 678

The pressing issue at hand was how Thomas intended to delay the engagement.

The Marquis of Grovehill’s family would undoubtedly push hard for a resolution, and it would depend on how Thomas handled the situation by dragging things out.

According to their speculation, Jaina would become a pawn for Eleanor if Thomas refused. There were two options–either Jaina would be married off as a concubine to Henry, or wed to an elderly man as a secondary wife or a concubine in his household.

As for asking Thomas to agree to the engagement first, that wouldn’t work either. Thomas clearly had no interest. Alice might have liked the idea at first, but once she realized it was a setup, she certainly wouldn’t agree.

Even if the two families ultimately saw eye to eye and genuinely wanted to arrange a marriage, Jaina’s representative for her family should be Jacob, not someone from the Marquis of Grovehill’s family.

Jacob would never allow his sister to be mistreated again.

After the emotional rollercoaster, Jacob contemplated this issue and spoke first.
