To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 670

James frowned hard upon hearing what Caleb said. He looked at his father and asked, "So, you're saying you want me to marry her?"

"Although I don't like that woman either, she's still a Walter. Her mother is also from the Glass family. She's still a good match, so it's not that difficult of a choice to accept her." Caleb analyzed the situation logically.

As a member of the Windsors, he believed that James should be prepared to sacrifice for the family, especially since James' negligence caused this situation. It was only natural that he should take responsibility. If he married Jolene, the Windsors would gain the support of the Walters and Glasses. All things considered, it wasn't that bad of a deal.

James looked at his father. He snapped out of his thoughts after a long while. "Well, you're certainly very rational, and what you said makes a lot of sense. But have you ever considered my feelings?" he asked.

He didn't like Jolene. It could even be said that he despised her. If he married her, he felt that the rest of his life would be done for. The thought of spending his life with her made him feel like life had lost its meaning.

"I know you're not happy about it, but what's done is done. We have to find a way to handle it," Caleb answered. He knew James was very unhappy, but what else could he do? They couldn't burn their bridges with the Walters, not to mention that the two families had a partnership. Even if they didn't enter into one, why would they want to make an unnecessary enemy out of another prominent family?

To be fair, the Walters weren't that bad. Accepting a member of the Walters into their ranks was better than James marrying an ordinary girl he liked in the future.

James looked at his father with a serious expression and asked, "Can't we refuse? Is my happiness not worth considering, even if it means going against the Walters? As a father, haven't you considered the situation on my behalf at all?"

"It's not worth it," Caleb replied. To him, it wasn't worth breaking ties with the Walter family over something like this.
