Once again, Gwen’s imagination rendered Caroline speechless. “If he truly is some rich man’s son, why would he marry me so quickly?”

Gwen scratched her head, searching for an answer that never came to her. Caroline smiled, amused. “Fine. I’ll ask him about it when I go back home. Then we’ll get our answer.”
