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.”

While Rosa was being considerate for her son’s sake since he would not find happiness in a marriage where coercion was involved, she was also a woman–she knew that from the perspective of the bride, being compelled to marry someone she did not love was misfortune too.

“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.”

Her advice was heartfelt and sincere, and Harvey certainly understood

That was why he told her that the woman he loved was in Cloud City. He wanted to marry her there before bringing her back to Sunny City, because he was afraid his mother would find out he was coercing Irene into marrying him!

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

“Yes, Mom,” Harvey replied despite his reluctance.
