Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny ( Quintessa and Tyrone ) novel Chapter 319

Jonathan found himself at a loss for words. His cousin, Emily, was known as someone of average intelligence and an innocent nature. Yet, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel she was demonstrating a level of cunning that was truly touching. One moment she was lamenting how the Winters clan had no love for Quintessa, and the next, she was gleefully recounting how she'd caught Quintessa and Tyrone in a compromising situation in bed.

It was as if she hadn't outright said, "This is my son's woman; you're out of luck, so you might as well give up."

Jonathan wanted to laugh, but found it rather difficult. He said, "Emily, what's with the weird talk? You got a bit of a double standard, don't you think? You tell me Quintessa is too flamboyant for our family's taste, but do you like her?"

Mrs. York waved dismissively, "Ah, you know how it is; once kids grow up, they're out of your hands. I've never been able to control Ty; he's always been headstrong. As long as he's happy, that's all that matters to me. Besides, things have gotten this far between them. I'm hardly going to be the one to split them up. All I want is for Ty to settle down and start a family. As for his choice of wife, as long as he's happy, nothing else matters."

Jonathan's lips twitched at her words, which implied that Quintessa and Tyrone's relationship was a done deal. If he were to interfere now, he'd be the outsider causing trouble.

Feeling a tightness in his chest, he asked, "The Yorks are a prestigious family too. Don't you care about lineage?"

"We're not like your family; I'm more open-minded," Mrs. York replied. "Let the kids find their own happiness. It's their life, after all."

Jonathan managed a smile, "Well, they're not married yet. Anything could happen."

Mrs. York chuckled warmly, "Oh, but you never know. Who's to say Quintessa won't be expecting in a few months? We're quite progressive in that regard. Getting the cart before the horse is perfectly fine by us."
