"One cannot buy joy with wealth! If you want to brew tea for Miss Lancaster, just use some tea dregs from the bucket, scum with tea dregs, how fitting!" Amber Edwards replied.
President Edwards gave Amber Edwards a sidelong glance, then reached out to toss the thermos back into her arms, ignoring her, and continued brewing tea.
The siblings just bantered as if no one was around, while Emily Lancaster stood nearby, her expression gradually darkening.
Only after the tea was brewed did President Edwards place a cup of tea in the direction where Emily Lancaster was standing, "Miss Lancaster, have some tea."
Emily Lancaster remained still, President Edwards didn't persuade further, instead, while seemingly pouring tea, suddenly spoke lightly, "Miss Lancaster, if you're indeed unhappy with our marriage arrangement, you can simply tell me, I'm not set on marrying you. Although I don't care whom I marry, my wife at least has to be willing to marry me."
