Owing Her a Wedding

Ella's deep feelings for Eric made it unlikely she would heed anyone's advice, not even Lucas's.

However, Lucas couldn't shake his concerns. Eric's background and status weren't particularly remarkable. Even though Eric had strength and ability, could he truly protect Ella if they offended a powerful family?

Lucas's expression turned cold, and his tone hardened as he reminded his adopted son once again, "Make sure to return early, understand?"

"Yes, Father, I'll make it back within the next few days," Luke replied, not inquiring further about the situation.

Luke had long known Lucas's ways. For something to be deemed a "family matter," it usually meant a matchmaking arrangement. 

Lucas, worried that Luke might remain single his entire life, had spent the past two years seeking out outstanding women for him.
