Chapter 232: Think carefully...

"Where is your sister?" Williams' father asked the moment Williams walked into their chamber and there was no trace of Susan behind him.

"She will join us shortly. She had something to take care of in her chamber," Williams said as he went to sit down, and their father looked at him for a moment without saying a word.

"Your mother said Harvey and Susan are interested in each other. Is that correct?" he asked, and Williams glanced at his mother, who was beaming with joy, before returning his attention to his father.

"I... think so, father."

"Oh! You do not have to be so modest now. Just tell him the truth already." His mother cut in.

"I told you. I saw him looking everywhere for Susan earlier. I've never seen such desperation in the eyes of a young man in a long time," their mother said excitedly, and Williams tried to understand what she was saying.
