If she refused again, she would seem unreasonable.
She hesitated for a moment and looked up at Ashton Heath.
Ashton Heath met her gaze and guessed what she was worried about. He answered for her, "Grandma wants to hold a banquet to invite your acquaintances, of course, that's no problem. Just let Joanna and me know when you've set the date. As for having dinner together with both families, we'll let you know when we've decided on a date."
"Then it's settled."

Lady Octavia and Madam Heath stood by the fountain pool, watching the Rolls-Royce slowly drive into the night until it disappeared from sight.
Madam Heath reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
Turning to look at Lady Octavia, who also had a reluctant look on her face, she thought for a moment and said seriously, "Octavia, what's the matter with you today? Do you have any issues with Joanna?"
Lady Octavia was still immersed in the sadness of her son leaving. Hearing this, she suddenly snapped back to her senses.
