Angel said, "I spoke with her today, and she told me about her first meeting with him."
She smiled. "I thought it was very sweet, and I found out that Lany wanted this proposal to be with him, not with you. She liked him, but the old madam asked her to be your wife."
Henry nodded. "Yes. I refused".
She put her hands on her waist. "But why did you force him? What if he didn't like her? If he married her because he was forced to, then isn't that sad for Lany? She loves and wanted to marry him out of mutual feelings for each other. But then, because of the Old Madam, he could feel the pressure. You have already rejected the offer."
Angel sighed. "Is that why their marriage is going through hard times? Maybe Frank didn't like her. That's why he's so far away from her. And that upsets her."
Henry blinked rapidly. There was confusion on his face as he looked at her.
"Frank was not forced into this marriage. He married Lany of his own free will."
