Yet he could not deny Oliver's plea for help since Oliver had done so much for him over the years, so Jake tried to think sincerely about a way to help Liza get Matthew's approval.
In fact, Oliver asked Jake to help because he knew that if Jake told Matthew that Liza could be a good wife to Joseph, Matthew would take Jake's opinion seriously and might even change his mind.
But Jake could not do that because it would be a big lie that he would be telling, after all, he does not approve of Liza staying with his friend, he just does not intrude because he believes that when he has love, any relationship can work.
"I think I have an idea that could work, but I do not think either Joseph or Liza and her family will like this idea."
"You can talk, any attempt is welcome."
