The Olsens and the Hortons were set to be joined in matrimony. That piece of news had been announced to the public for quite some time now.
It started a few years back when everyone thought Christina would marry into the Horton family, but unfortunately, the Hortons disagreed, and the matter came to nothing.
Later, it was heard that Lewis had taken a wife, so there seemed even less hope for the marriage.
But no one expected Lewis's young wife to pass away so early, and suddenly, the position of his wife was vacant again!
The Olsens brought up the marriage alliance once more, and surprisingly, the Hortons accepted it.
Yet this affair had been gossiped about in Clance for a long time now, and so far, neither family had confirmed anything to the public. Why would the Hortons suddenly come to deliver the betrothal gifts today?
While everyone was busy gossiping, Joseph pulled his daughter aside to clear the way for the butler.
