Stella had her full attention on Keegan and did not notice anything else that was happening at all. Upon hearing what Marshall said, she asked, “What about my dad?”
Marshall paused. “Didn’t he tell you about it?”
Stella shook her head.
Marshall hesitated for a moment but decided to tell her about it anyway. “My grandfather invited Uncle Wenham to our house and said some unpleasant things to him. I wasn’t home at the time, and I only found out about it later from the maid. Uncle Wenham left without touching his food, and he did not look very happy when he left.”
Stella knew nothing about this incident because Wenham had not told her about it at all.
Felicity, who had been eavesdropping from the front, could not help but ask, “Uncle Wenham has such a good temper. What can your grandfather possibly say to make him angry?”
Marshall explained, “He thought that Stella and I were together, so he wanted to take matters into his own hands and arrange our marriage. He’s been arrogant all his life, thinking that everyone should follow everything he says.
When Uncle Wenham turned him down, he felt like he was humiliated and spoke somewhat rudely.”
Felicity was speechless.
‘I knew I shouldn’t have asked that question.’ Stella had heard Keegan talking about Frederick before. He described Frederick as a traditional and arbitrary person.
He knew that she was Keegan’s ex-wife, yet he still wanted to arrange a marriage between her and Marshall. Stella found it bewildering.
Keegan said that Marshall had a girlfriend before, but his family did not approve of their relationship. So, Stella could not figure out what she had to offer.
Although being the heiress of the Saun family could be a big title to some, it was not something that the Moore family chased after.
Stella thought for a moment before she softly said, “My dad didn’t tell me about this, so he probably didn’t take it seriously. Even if he’s angry, it’s not directed at you. Don’t worry too much about it.”
