Chapter 44: Discussing the Engagement Arrangements

Just then, the doorbell rang. Jennie stood up to open the door, and when she saw the person outside, she paused, but quickly regained her composure and smiled, "Mr. Farrell, you've arrived? Please come in." She had thought Jared would not visit so soon to discuss the engagement, as he had mentioned he would come today only yesterday.

After all, discussing engagement arrangements required the presence of his grandfather, as Jared himself would not suffice. Logan was quite old and was expected to arrive around noon, so it was surprising that he had arrived before nine in the morning.

Upon seeing Logan enter, Hugo quickly stood up and greeted him with great respect, "Mr. Farrell, please have a seat." Though he was not very happy about Tina marrying Jared, Mr. Farrell was an elder with high reputation, and he deserved respect.

Tina also greeted him, "Mr. Farrell!"

Simultaneously, Jared, Hayden, and Nathan greeted Hugo and his wife, "Mr. and Mrs. Reed, hello." They then nodded towards Tina as a polite greeting.

After the greetings were exchanged, everyone sat down. Jennie went to pour tea. Their family was of modest means, typically unable to afford expensive tea, so they only had a box of tea leaves worth a little over a hundred dollars, mainly for Hugo's consumption.
