Louis turned to Felicia after thanking Samuel during the banquet.

“I agree. Louis woke up and Harold is getting married. It's a double blessing!” Layne was the first to chime in.

Felicia nodded with a blissful expression.

There was nothing happier than having the whole family reunited and in good health.

Even Yvonne, who was usually dissatisfied with Harold, had no objections.

Harold was the only one who continued to eat in silence.

Megan, nicknamed Megs, the daughter of Louis's sworn brother, Glen, was around the same age as Harold. She had been recognized as one of the top ten beauties in Norham since young. She also had countless suitors.

Louis and Glen recognized Harold's natural aptitude not long after his adoption

They came together and arranged a betrothal between Harold and Megan.

Back then, Harold had always silently kept the little girl, who had given him the padded jacket and walnuts, close to his heart.


In addition, his younger sister had always been dissatisfied with him. She felt that his arrival had robbed her of their parents' love.

She had been in discord with Harold since they were young.

Hence, in a fit of anger, coupled with his desire to search for that little girl, Harold ran away from home.

“Harry, we're discussing yours and Megs' marriage. What do you think?” Felicia asked doubtfully when she noticed her son eating in silence with his head lowered.

“I... I'm hungry!” Harold answered casually.

He didn't want to say anything to upset his father, who had just woken up.

“He's feeling shy. Is that right, Harold?” Yvonne, who was listening from the sidelines, saved Harold from his predicament.

She knew from a young age that her cheap brother did not want to marry Megan.

Louis was amused by Yvonne's words. He laughed loudly and turned to Dr. Thompson. “Haha! Men and women should get married once they're of age. You're a grown man. There's nothing to feel shy about! Wouldn't you say so, Dr. Thompson?”

Samuel knew that Harold had gotten married in secret, and that Isabella was being treated at his house.

He glanced at Harold after hearing what Louis had said.

Harold gave him a wink and signaled for him to keep it a secret.

Samuel understood. He simply nodded at Louis and Harold.

The family ate for two hours before they left.

Harold left with Samuel under the pretense of taking him home.

It's impossible for Harold to marry Megan when he only had Isabella in his heart.
