"Sara, this was my first suggestion. My wife was also very confused, but in the end, she agreed." Finn said, "I admire you and want to take good care of the duke. Therefore, if you marry into the Bishop family in the future, the family will be able to take good care of you."
Mrs. Bishop put on a fake smile. "To be honest, I didn't agree at first. After all, I don't know much about Miss, but I respect my husband's meaning. Since my husband trusts you, I will trust you. As for Kate..."
She glanced in the direction of the upstairs. "I believe you know that she has suffered a blow from Michael's marriage. She has been in low spirits recently, so she didn't come down. But you can talk to her when it's time for dinner."
He continued, "But Kate's meaning is the same as mine. We don't know much about Miss, but we are willing to trust you."
The more she emphasized on believing in Sara, the more she did not trust her!
Finn noticed Sara's expression. "So, what do you mean, Shari?"
Sara tightened her grip and lowered her head. "I... I'm not familiar with him."
She heard her own heartbeat very quickly, but very uneasy.
It was as if something was weighing down on her heart, forcing her to face this opportunity to touch the moonlight. She did not dare to step forward...
"What, you!" Mrs. Bishop's face darkened. "Miss, don't be ungrateful!"
Although she did not agree, others were not allowed to refuse!
Finn immediately tried to persuade her.
"Hey, Sara didn't say that she didn't agree.. She just said that she was not familiar with Samuel. It's true that men and women love each other. They really need to have a relationship foundation and know each other beforehand-"
"Finn, if you hadn't said it, how could I..."
"Well, there's nothing wrong with Shari." Fearing that Mrs. Bishop would say something unpleasant on the spot, Finn stopped her with his eyes. He turned back to Sara and said with a smile, "Sara, we understand what you mean. Let's eat first. You can think about it slowly!"
"Humph!"
Mrs. Bishop snorted and left.
Alfred had just returned. Seeing this unhappy scene, he did not understand. "Old Master, what's wrong?"
"I always come at the right time. Go to the kitchen and ask how the dinner is going. It's getting late, serve dinner as soon as possible." Finn wanted to use the dinner to ease the current atmosphere.
Alfred understood and immediately nodded. "Okay, I'll go now."
Sara stood up. "Mr. Bishop, I don't think Mrs.. Bishop is very happy. I think I'd better not eat. I'll..."
"Don't, don't, don't, don't." Finn quickly steadied her. "My wife will take it too seriously as long as she encounters my two sons. Don't worry. You brought the market investigation results here this time. You have to stay for dinner first."
"But..."
"It's okay. Just think of it as giving me face."
Finn had no choice but to show his face.
Sara had intended to leave, but since Finn had said so, she couldn't refuse.
If she didn't eat this meal, it seemed that she wouldn't give Finn face. She was placed on this moral high wall.
"That, that's good..."
Finn heaved a sigh of relief and went upstairs to persuade Mrs. Bishop.
When dinner was ready, he came over to invite Sara. "Miss, invite her to the restaurant. The dishes are ready."
Sara followed Alfred to the restaurant. At this time, Finn was still upstairs persuading Mrs. Bishop not to come down. Sara was forced to sit alone in the restaurant. In order to avoid making her uncomfortable, Alfred stayed in the restaurant and ordered the other servants to serve the dishes while accompanying her from time to time.
The host was in a bad mood and asked a servant to accompany a guest in the restaurant. The atmosphere was really awkward.
When Sara was wondering if it was a wise decision to stay, a familiar voice came.
"Alfred, go ahead. I'll talk to Miss."
"First Miss?" He looked at his uncle.
Sara also looked at the door of the restaurant and saw that Kate, the eldest daughter of the Bishop family, was coming down. She was leaning against the door of the restaurant with her hands crossed, looking at Sara with a hint of sarcasm and indifference in her eyes.
"Aren't you going yet?" Kate raised her chin again.
Alfred looked at Sara with a little concern, but he couldn't disobey the instructions of his master's family. He nodded and said, "Well... Miss, please sit with Miss for a while. I'll get some wine."
After Alfred left, Kate's slender figure swayed over. When she passed by Sara's back, her hand was still engraved on the back of Sara's seat. Then she suddenly stopped. "I'm really sorry, Miss. I didn't meet you with my parents just now."
In order to show her courtesy to the master's family, Sara stood up. "Don't mention it. Miss Kate, you're too polite. I came to visit you in person this time. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
Seeing that Sara was sensible, Kate did not say the unpleasant words out loud. She swayed over and found a seat to sit down. She did not invite Sara to sit down. Instead, she sneered at Sara in a strange way and said, "No, I can't say it out loud. I know it was my father who invited you to dinner."
Sara knew that Kate was deliberately making things difficult for her and wanted her to stand up and talk to her in order to emphasize the position of the host.
However, on this trip, Sara wasn't afraid of standing for a while. After all, she had come to someone else's house!
"That's true." Sara replied directly.
"But even if I wasn't there just now, I know what my parents talked to you about." Kate looked at her nails. "My dad roughly said that he wanted to introduce you to Samuel. He wanted you to marry into the Bishop family."
Sara didn't say anything.
"So, what do you think of my father's proposal, Miss?" Kate asked her.
"I haven't given you an answer yet." Sara also said frankly, "After all, although I've seen Third Young Master, I'm not familiar with him."
"In that case, why don't you refuse?" Kate suddenly raised her eyes, and her sharp eyes were like knives, staring straight at Sara.
She didn't like Sara more than Mrs. Bishop, and she didn't want Sara to marry into the Bishop family!
Sara was a little surprised.
Kate and Mrs. Bishop didn't like her, and it was unlikely that they would agree to let her marry into the Bishop family. She could guess that.
However, Finn had clearly said that Miss Kate had the same idea as Mrs. Bishop. She didn't agree with Third Young Master at first, but after Finn's communication, the mother and daughter agreed.
However, looking at Kate's hostility against her, Sara could tell that Kate would not agree with Finn's proposal, compared with the last wedding in City.
"Of course I can refuse, but..." Sara didn't forget the purpose of this trip. She wanted to find out about the situation of the Bishop family, so she said with a smile, "Miss Kate, if you don't agree, why don't you tell President your attitude? If his family doesn't agree, I don't think President will directly give me that suggestion, will he?"
