Upon hearing Maverick pose such a question, Susan and Howard stopped their diversions. Instead, they held their breath and focused, eager to hear what he would say next.

The fact that he was willing to ask this question at least indicated that his feelings toward Josiah were no longer simply of pure disgust.

Maverick spoke with a heavy tone. “How can you be so sure that what you’re saying now is truly what you’ve thought through? Is there still a possibility that you might change your mind in the future?”

He was so resolute in his attitude that he almost didn’t know how to prove his feelings anymore.

Knowing her son better than anyone else, Susan could tell that he was speaking from his heart. She couldn’t help but add, “He expressed his intentions to me a while ago, saying he would marry no one but Lysander in this lifetime. I’ve even considered visiting an orphanage to adopt a child to raise as my grandchild. Let the youngsters deal with it themselves, I’m not butting in.”
