Chapter 893

“What’s the deal with the Lockwood family?” Anastasia whispered, noticing Mr. Lockwood’s respectful yet fearful attitude toward Harrison.

“They’re moderately wealthy,” Harrison replied.

Seeing Anastasia’s curiosity, he elaborated, and she was quite surprised by what she heard.

She had assumed that for the Lockwoods to be engaged to the Jacksons, they must be a family of similar standing.

But it turned out the Lockwood family was just an ordinary wealthy family.

Even their “wealth” was only relative to the average person. Compared to prominent families like the Jacksons, the Lockwoods were nothing.

The two families were close only because Mrs. Lockwood and Marcus’s mother had been classmates in their youth and later became best friends.

Anastasia was confused. “With such a huge gap between the families, how did Yolanda and Marcus get engaged p>

“Apparently, Yolanda did Marcus a great favor many years ago p>

A family like the Jacksons would typically favor an alliance with another major family. Marcus himself had always planned for that, which was why he had been such a playboy before.

But just as the Jacksons were about to finalize an engagement with another prominent family, Yolanda appeared out of nowhere.

First, she threw tantrums at home. Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood, unable to handle her, had to swallow their pride and approach the Jackson family.

In the end, the engagement was sealed because of that mysterious “favor” from years ago.

Anastasia mulled this over, then asked, “Hubby, do you know how Yolanda was adopted by the Lockwoods p>

Harrison squeezed her hand as they walked to the car. “Not really. If you want to know, I can have someone look into it for you p>

“It’s fine. I’ve already sent someone to investigate. It shouldn’t be long before I get an answer p>

Right now, she was more puzzled by something else.

“What’s wrong with Marcus? Has he lost his mind p>

Although his reaction upon first seeing Juliet in Fairhaven had been a bit strange, he had behaved himself after her warning. When on earth did he develop feelings for Juliet?

Harrison, too, was displeased by the matter.

He cared for Anastasia, and by extension, Juliet. Marcus’s sudden confession had caused Juliet a lot of trouble.

That evening, Marcus visited the Lancaster estate to apologize.

Faced with Anastasia’s angry questioning, he looked a bit sheepish. “It’s my fault p>

but sometimes, you can’t control your feelings p>

Anastasia crossed her arms, glaring at him. “Tell me. When did it start p>

For a rare moment, Marcus looked lost. I don’t know,” he said.

Anastasia was speechless. “How can you not know? Are you serious p>

“I’m telling the truth.” Marcus gave a bitter smile. The first time I saw Juliet, I felt as if I’d known her for a very long time. I couldn’t take my eyes off her… Ahem, don’t look at me like that corrected myself didnt 12 You warned me back then, and as an engaged man, I knew it was wrong, so I tried my best to control it p>

But he never expected that just two meetings would leave such a deep impression on him. After returning to Riverton, he thought of Juliet almost every day and often dreamed of her.

He couldn’t remember what happened in the dreams, but the heart-wrenching,

excruciating pain he felt upon waking up was still vivid in his memory.
