Will firmly expressed his stance. In that moment, his expression was stern and hostile, and his eyes were filled with unwavering indifference.
Will had brought up this matter multiple times.
Marsha didn't want to argue with Will either.
However, this was a matter that would impact the rest of his life.
Marsha scowled. "If you're determined to not marry a woman you don't love, even if it means remaining single for the rest of your life, you're only thinking about yourself. Have you considered your father and me, or our family? By doing this, aren't you just making us the subject of ridicule in other people's eyes?"
Her anger grew as she spoke. After all, Will was no longer a child.
Otherwise, she would have to take matters into her own hands and confront the person directly in front of him.
Will could understand his mother's emotions.
However, marriage was a lifelong commitment.
Many of his friends had been arranged for marriage or connected through family ties. When they spoke of their beloved, their eyes were filled with sadness, and their heart-wrenching cries echoed in the air as they drowned their sorrows in alcohol.
Will slowly opened his mouth, his voice hoarse. "I never intended for you and Dad to become objects of ridicule in the eyes of others. I can't simply marry someone I don't love when I can't be with the person I truly love. Besides, I'm living my own life. Why should I care about what others think?"
"You need to understand something clearly. In your current state, no one would want to marry you. You want to marry the one you love, but would the one you love want to marry you? Even if she's willing, you're a man of integrity and honor, and our family's reputation and status are at stake. You may not be afraid of being ridiculed for being with a divorcee, but your father and I are!" Marsha glared fiercely at Will.
