You were sitting at the dining table with your father sitting at the end of the table as the leader of the household while the maids served breakfast, your mother did not eat breakfast with you, she is too sick to be able to leave the room

Joseph: Eden...

Joseph called with his serious and firm voice, while he continued eating in silence, He did that, ignoring you, ever since he found out that Gerard proposed to you before he left for the war, She didn't really dislike Gerard, what bothered her was that Gerard didn't propose to Eden in front of the whole family.
