In Austin House.
Austin didn't go home until 12 pm. Marget immediately told him about the engagement when she saw him coming back,"I have talked to Madam Cook today about the engagement. We scheduled the ceremony on the 28th of next month."
Austin remained silent. Marget said, "Austin, Rose is kind and docile. You should marry her at least for how she has suffered for you. What's more, she is Steve's daughter. Nothing bad can come from this marriage."
Austin still didn't say anything, Marget had been used to her son's silence.
Austin had been talking to her less and less ever since she forced him to kick the jinx out of their family.
Sometimes he didn't say a word for a whole day. "Son, I've told Rose that you'll accompany her to choose an engagement dress and ring tomorrow. You should change your schedule at work."
"Mom, do you take a fancy to Rose because of her kindness or because she is Steve's daughter?" Austin suddenly asked.
