She desired a daughter-in-law from a respectable family background.
Now that the person stood before her, she felt reluctant.
"I want a genuine relationship. What is this?" Marsha frowned, wearing a cold expression. She took a step towards Will, completely ignoring Linda.
Linda understood that it was not appropriate for her to say anything at this critical moment.
Will spoke calmly, "Our relationship is as real as it gets. She needs a husband, and I need a wife. Will anyone doubt us if we are together?"
She was the newly recognized second daughter of the Garner family, unloved and kept out of the spotlight. He was a disabled individual who relied on a wheelchair for mobility.
No one would find anything wrong if they were together.
Furthermore, his involvement with Linda was solely for his own benefit.
"Indeed, no one will doubt your relationship, but Will, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If you want to keep her by your side to defy my arrangements, that's not impossible. However, I'm only giving you one year. If you two aren't married and don't have a child within a year, I'll immediately arrange someone else for you," Marsha said coldly, leaving no room for Will to refuse.
For Linda, a year would be a time of great joy. As long as Marsha accepted their current relationship, she could freely come and go from the Darcey Residence throughout the year. Even if she couldn't be by Will's side every moment, she still had plenty of opportunities. What is there to fear?
Especially in Will's case, if his leg didn't heal, then he would have no choice but to consider her.
