Balfour paused for a long moment as a bitter smile curled at the corners of his mouth. "Perhaps you're right. I've been weighing too much."

Ellinor added, "If they are in love and want to step into marriage, could you bear to tear them apart?"

Balfour gazed thoughtfully at her. "As I've said before, if our family agrees, I won't object."

"If possible, put in a good word for them with the Howard family. Give them a chance."

Balfour stared deeply into his sister's eyes, ultimately nodding in agreement.

Ida, with her eyes half-closed, continued to massage her temples, ignoring him.

Byran furrowed his brows as he took a few steps closer. "Ida, you're not angry again, are you? I've shown my sincerest intentions; what more do you want? I’ll talk to my family today. But we can't get married right away because my brother hasn't married yet. I'll try to get them to agree to hold our engagement party first.”

Ida remained silent, lazily leaning back on the couch.
