Isabella said, “If you really like him, he’s successful enough that your parents would have no objections. The only thing is that he’s a Wiltspoonian. They might not be able to bear letting you move so far away from us.”
“Isa!” Tati said exasperatedly.
“How many times do I have to tell you that I don’t like him like that? In fact, I think he’s a good match for you. You’re the oldest of the seven of us so you have to get married first, anyway. I can’t cut in line.”
Unsure if it was just an illusion, she felt Austin look at Isabella with a different sparkle in his eyes. He had definitely come for Isabella.
Or rather he had come for Isabella’s picky mouth, to be exact. His customers would definitely be satisfied if he could satisfy Isabella. Tati did not think there were many people out there as picky as Isabella was.
Isabella lightly pinched Tati’s cheek as she could not help but laugh. “We’re not far apart in age and we’re just cousins. It doesn’t matter if you get married before I do. I don’t plan on getting married for now.
“Even if I wanted to, I’d go for someone local. Think about it—Louis and Phillip are only a few years old. We’d still need to wait at least twenty years till they take over the company. In the meantime, all of us will have to support the company.
“If we marry off to a faraway land, who’ll do that for us? We’d have to see if Edith and Eleanor can handle it.”
Edith O’Connor and Eleanor O’Connor were of age and started learning the ropes in the company. For now, they were still unable to shoulder the heavy burden of the family business. That was why Isabella had discarded the idea of marrying and moving away.
If she were to get married, it would be right here in Satbury. That way, she could still take care of her company. Once Louis came of age, she could slowly hand over to him.
