Chapter 338: Keep It
She married him not for money, and she had no interest in the property of the Sterling family.
Dylan laughed. The little woman was so honest. He rubbed her hair softly and put the check to her small hand again.
"Keep it," he said softly, "as your dowry."
Actually, most families had no dowry tradition, but some rich families would prepare money or property as the bride's dowry. It was the wealth a woman brought to her husband as a part of the marriage. Savannah had no family at her side, so no one would arrange the dowry for her.
But it didn't matter, he was her husband now, and he'd like to arrange everything for her.
The bride price became the dowry... Savannah gazed upon him, round-eyes. She understood that he had planned to give her the dowry at the beginning. If he just wanted to refuse her uncle's request, he could have driven them out of the house as soon as he came back.
