"Why has your eldest brother become so heartless? I remember when he was little, he was especially fond of helping others."
Bella White laughed as she teased her son, "Right, your father was particularly opposed to your brother's marriage to Anna Ainsworth, wasn't he? Just a few days ago, your brother came to me about this issue, and now all of a sudden, they're getting married again? Quick, tell me, what's the deal? How did your dad come to agree afterward?"
"I really don't know how my dad was persuaded by my brother," Jeremy Thompson said truthfully, "Anyway, this morning I found out that dad no longer opposes my brother and Anna. I think, it must be Anna's own charm that moved dad."
"That must be the case. Despite your dad being a bit unfriendly, he isn't completely unreasonable. Anna is such a good girl, and it's Jeremy's good fortune to be able to marry her!"
