The Runaway Groom

Chapter 207

Rosa had no idea what had happened, but she was aware that Jefferson Manor was not the place to talk.

Once inside Harvey’s car, she took her son’s hand and said, “Tell me. What was all of that about?”

She certainly felt uneasy about all that.

“Look, Harvey–your father left the company to you in its entirety, and I don’t know much about business so I can’t help much with that. I also know that things can get difficult for you, but even so, you shouldn’t force a woman who doesn’t love you to marry you. You would never find happiness that way.”

“I wish I could have a daughter–in–law who is kind and understanding, but most of all, loves you for who you are. If you love her too, your marriage will last. That’s why I’ve been so worried.”

“Do you hear me?” Rosa’s tone became more severe as Harvey did not respond, and she gave him a smack!
