Chapter 441

Chapter 441:

“Marriage pact? What do you mean?” Marc inquired, his expression a mixture of confusion and disbelief.

Noticing the shock etched on Marc’s face, Flynn was angry, his face darkening. “When Easton departed from Ekuoledo all those years ago, he made a personal vow to me — a promise binding our grandchildren! I have waited all this time for Easton’s return. Even as others in the village moved out, I remained here. Are you suggesting that Easton never intended to honor that commitment p>

“Mr. Chapman always remembered the agreement p>

In the midst of the tense silence, Wyatt’s voice broke through, drawing everyone’s attention.

Marc, in particular, was taken aback. “I was completely unaware of this marriage arrangement. How could you possibly know p>

The reason for Marc’s ignorance lay in Paulina’s staunch opposition.

She had resolutely refused to allow Easton to use her son’s future marriage as a means to settle a debt. Over the years, the Chapman family had thrived mainly due to Paulina’s unwavering efforts, and since she objected, Easton had never pursued the matter.

However, Wyatt had overheard Easton mention the agreement during one of his visits to Conroy.

At that moment, with no word from Joselyn for so many years, Wyatt had resigned himself to the idea that it would remain nothing more than a long-lost promise.

Who could have imagined that Marc would actually cross paths with Joselyn in the heart of these mountains?

After Wyatt laid everything out, Flynn’s anger simmered down, though he still wore a frown.

The people of the Myrkin Tribe took their promises to heart — because of that old pact, he hadn’t set foot outside the village all these years.

Understanding that Easton had remembered the agreement but had held back because of his family, Flynn was a bit displeased, but he could understand him.

Glancing at Marc, Flynn surmised that the Chapman family must hold some sway in the world.

If he pushed Easton to honor the promise, it could spell trouble for Joselyn.

That thought made him pause.

After a lengthy silence, Flynn turned to Joselyn and said, “Joselyn, give it back to him p>

At her grandfather’s words, Joselyn’s face became a canvas of mixed emotions.

She had always been aware of the marriage agreement, but it had never seemed real — after all, they hadn’t heard from the Chapman family for years. From the moment she laid eyes on Marc, she felt an undeniable pull toward him. She had never envisioned herself marrying a stranger because of the old agreement, but she had daydreamed about becoming Marc’s wife.

What she hadn’t expected was that Marc was the man she was supposed to marry.

“Joselyn, what are you still waiting for p>

With Flynn’s urging, Joselyn reached into the small cloth pouch she always carried and pulled out a ring.
