Amelia Sanchez asked with sincerity, but Mrs. Brown thought she was playing dumb.
In her eyes, other than his good looks and the Brown surname, her second son had nothing to attract women.
She scoffed, "What a facade! If Albert Brown weren't a Brown, you wouldn't marry him!"
Young girls these days are sharp-eyed, seeking men with good looks is secondary. Primarily, they must be wealthy.
Have you seen so many young girls in their twenties throwing themselves at old men on their deathbeds for money?
"Amelia, I'm saying this for your own good. A girl should consider matching in social and economic status when getting married. You have struggled coming from a small family and you will definitely feel uncomfortable in the Brown Family!" She didn't even need to mention the views of aristocratic friends of the Brown Family. If they knew the second son of the Brown Family married a commoner, wouldn't they laugh their teeth off?
