Stephen and Samuel began to reminisce.

Four years ago, Tessa had just graduated from university.

At the time, Stephen was thrilled to marry her. He had personally gone to her house to propose, asking for Samuel's blessing to marry Tessa.

He had spoken to Samuel in the same study they were currently in for the whole afternoon. In the end, Samuel had agreed to grant him Tessa's hand in marriage.

However, he never expected that Tessa would be so opposed to the idea of marrying him. Not only had she argued with her family over it, but she had even moved to Haverford alone.

When Tessa refused to enter a marriage of convenience with him and ran away from home, Stephen almost pursued her.

In the end, he had let her go. However, letting her go did not mean he had given up on marrying her.

Stephen just wanted to give her some time to think. He wanted her to figure out what she truly wanted so that she would return to him willingly.

When Tessa had first moved to Haverford, Samuel had frozen all of her bank accounts.

She was alone in an unfamiliar city with no one to rely on, and she had to find herself a place to live as well as a job all on her own.
