Oswald immediately went downstairs to make the necessary arrangements.
Morwenna, curious and bewildered, wondered why the driver, the butler, and the bodyguard all shared the surname Brown.
Orson, noticing Morwenna's puzzled look, whispered from behind, "The driverâs my uncle and the butlerâs my dad. I have a sister whoâs into horticulture. She takes care of the garden."
Morwenna was speechless.
As they entered the grand hall, the ancient charm of the house was palpable, with its deep red wooden furniture exuding a sense of solemn grandeur.
Norbert gestured for Morwenna to sit by his side.
Soon, people began to trickle back home.
Those who returned were surprised to see a strange girl sitting next to Norbert.
How did she have the nerve to sit next to Norbert? Wasn't she scared?
The rules of the Hetfield family were strict. Before Mr. Hetfield spoke, everyone took their seats properly.
As more people gathered, Morwenna felt increasingly uneasy under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Once everyone had assembled, Norbert set down his coffee cup and announced, "Iâve called everyone here to introduce you all to Stuartâs new wife."
âWhat?â
"Whose wife?"
Even as the Hetfield family revered Norbertâs authority, many were shocked enough to exclaim.
A teenage boy, in his excitement, even bumped into a corner of the table.
All eyes were now fixed on Morwenna.
The idea of Norbert remarrying would have been less surprising than this.
Stuart, believed by many in the Hetfield family to remain a bachelor for life, had married in silence, a truly shocking development.
Morwenna stood up, slightly nervous, and said, âHello everyone, my name is Morwenna.â
The room fell silent.
Norbert, unbothered by the shock of the others, began making introductions, âWenna, this is Stuartâs uncle, Phineas, and his wife, Sabrina.â
Morwenna quickly and politely greeted, âNice to meet you, Phineas and Sabrina.â
Sabrina, dressed in an elegant gown, realizing the situation, gently tugged at Phineasâ arm, then hurriedly removed a bracelet from her wrist and placed it on Morwennaâs, saying, âWenna, itâs our first meeting. I didnât have a proper gift prepared. I hope you donât mind.â
Morwenna, far from minding, was just about to politely decline when Norbert spoke, âAccept it. Itâs a gift from your family.â
Hearing this, Morwenna could only accept, quickly thanking, âThank you, Sabrina.â
Norbertâs statement clearly signaled something significant.
Here was the Hetfield familyâs chosen wife for Stuart. It was customary for elders to offer a welcome gift.
With Norbertâs approval evident, who would dare not follow suit?
Prompted by Sabrina, Phineas had already sent someone to fetch a collectible watch.
The meeting was so sudden. No one was prepared.
But under Norbertâs watchful eye, only the most valuable collectibles could be presented as gifts.
Norbert continued with the introductions.
âThis is Stuartâs youngest aunt, Yara.â
âThese are Phineasâ two sons, Stuartâs cousins.â
âThese four are Yaraâs daughters.â
Norbert methodically introduced each person to Morwenna.
Throughout the gathering, Morwenna received a plethora of gifts and understood the extended Hetfield familyâs situations.
Norbert had three children.

The second in line was Phineas who had two sons.
The daughter of Norbert had married and given birth to four daughters, with another child on the way.
Morwenna couldnât help but glance at pregnant Yara, whose belly looked ready to pop any moment.
Though the country encouraged a larger family, this was indeed too supportive of the countryâs appeal.
