Anna was unwilling to give up, and she felt there was another reason behind Stuart's marriage. Stuart succinctly replied, "We got married in secret."
"You didn't tell anyone that you got married? Is there a reason why?"
Anna thought they married because of the strict demands of Mrs. Yates and the dispute over the rights of the Yates family, and she had hope again. She wondered if maybe this was just like the movies, and Stuart was only trying to use Eddie; otherwise, why was Stuart not willing to make it public?
When he heard Anna's questions, Stuart looked in Eddie's direction. He smiled as he watched his wife in the kitchen. He took in her delicate features and felt a familiar warmth stir his blood. His mind started to wander off, and she has brought so much joy and happiness into my life. Then Stuart shook his head as if waking up from a dream.
Stuart smiled, "It will be made public when the timing is right."
