Could it be that the engagement was just a ploy to shut his mother up, using her as a shield?
Despite discussing a lot about her family background and parents' situation afterward, she felt that getting engaged so soon was very unreliable.

As the few people stood there awkwardly, it was Mr. Scott's secretary who laughed and said, "Robert, Mr. Scott, and Mrs. Smith, why are we standing while talking? Let's sit down and chat."

Waiters brought dishes, one after another, to the table. It seemed like a special treatment, as all the dishes were served at once.
Mr. Scott smiled and said, "Robert, I wasn't sure what you like to eat, so I just ordered randomly. If you don't like it, we can order more."
Robert glanced at the table and then casually instructed the attendant, "Give a portion of foie gras and crab legs to this young lady."
