Chapter 1473 Darcie took on the role of the lady of the house despite Wenham's initial reluctance.
She often cited reasons like being good friends with Freesia and not wanting to see Trevor suffer to make frequent visits to the Saun residence.
As a widower and a single mother, rumors began to circulate over time about their relationship.
It did not take long for these whispers to reach the ears of the Saun family elders.
"Grandma's health was deteriorating, and she was bedridden in her last few years.
Darcie's own daughter could not bring herself to serve her in such close quarters, but Darcie could.
She not only cared for her meticulously but also personally tested the alternative medicine prescribed by the doctor to ensure its safety before Grandma took it," said Trevor.
Wenham's mother, Eleanor Albott, saw Darcie as a kind woman who knew how to manage a household.
Thinking about her son, who was reluctant to remarry, and her poor motherless grandson, she felt reassured knowing a woman like Darcie was looking after them.
So, she began to play Cupid.
Wenham was initially unwilling to marry Darcie; he even felt a bit repulsed.
It was not until his mother was critically ill and about to undergo surgery that he decided to marry Darcie.
Otherwise, she would not agree to the operation.
In order to appease his mother, Wenham eventually consented.
"After the surgery, Grandma got better and insisted Dad fulfill his promise." So, six years after Freesia's passing, Wenham married Darcie.
The wedding was kept very low-key, as it was not a marriage Wenham had willingly entered into from the start.
In the days after their wedding, they treated each other with respect.
With a woman in the house, the lives of Wenham and Trevor became more organized.
Eleanor was also very happy with the outcome.
Five years into their marriage, Eleanor passed away.
Wenham feelings for his new family had gradually grown over those five years, especially toward Jaylene.
Every time he saw her, he could not help but think of his own daughter, who he assumed had died.
‘If she were still alive, she would be around the same age,' he thought.
Humans are emotional creatures.
Even if there was no romantic love after so many years of being together, there was always familial love.
And so, this family continued to exist.
