The Visit

Marie was not really okay with what was happening. But since Elena had no problems with it, she could only reluctantly nod her head after giving her several words of advice. 

Learning about the deadline set was the bigger headache but fortunately, she pulled through.

"Ma, Mark's mother and grandmother want to come over to speak to you about this whole marriage condition," Elena revealed after rounding up the conversation with her mother.

Hearing that, Marie's gaze was filled with surprise. She didn't know the reason she found it shocking to learn that a few of Mark's elders would be coming over to visit. She didn't know they cared.

Apparently, her perception had been ruined by their Patriarch's decision when they were all in a new era but thankfully, her mindset was turning around for good. "They want to come over here?"

"Yes," Elena confirmed.

"What time?" 

"I have no idea. I will have to wait for Mark's call," Elena answered.
