Mrs. Keller said, “Tatiana has a good personality. I like her very much.”

Vermont smiled and asked, “So, would you consider her as a potential daughter-in-law for the Keller family? Do you think she’s suitable?”

The Keller couple exchanged glances. Mrs. Keller gave Mr. Keller a nod. Mr. Keller spoke up, “We have a good impression of Tatiana. She’s polite, tactful, and well-mannered. You’ve already provided us with her personal information and family background, which we’ve verified ourselves. We have a clear idea of her situation. If the two of them can get along, and if her family’s expectations aren’t too high, the betrothal gift and wedding ceremony can be easily arranged. We’re flexible with the dowry and have no specific demands.

Since Aaron is our only son, we won’t be stingy or make things difficult for the girl when it comes to the marriage. You don’t need to worry about that. Our main concern is Aaron’s willingness. You saw his attitude at dinner; I’m afraid he might find an excuse to send Tatiana away now that they’ve stepped out.”

Vermont reassured him, “Mr. Keller, as long as you and Mrs. Keller are happy with Tatiana, I’ll make sure they get along well. Let them take their time, without any pressure. Just wait for good news.”

Mr. and Mrs. Keller looked at each other again. Mrs. Keller sighed and said seriously, “Vermont, we trust you. But our Keller family values integrity. We expect a proper and respectable marriage.”

Vermont raised his wine glass and promised, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Keller. Tatiana’s family also values integrity. They wouldn’t resort to underhanded tactics. If she ever did, her own family would disown her before you even had to.”

After sending the Kellers off, Vermont explained that the young couple should have some time alone. He and Felicity would stay nearby and handle the ride home.

As Felicity emerged from the restroom, drying her hands, she asked, “What did Mrs. Keller mean by an ‘open and aboveboard’ marriage?”

Vermont replied, “She meant they won’t accept a woman who tries to marry their son by getting pregnant before marriage. Wealthy families often deal with unmarried pregnancies. Even if they don’t care about family background, they won’t let a woman with a child control them. Take Keegan’s father, for example. Dahlia was lucky he took responsibility. But in most wealthy families, having a few illegitimate children outside doesn’t matter. They’ll pay child support, but there’s no chance at the family inheritance.”
