Upon receiving a call from Kenneth's mom, she was walking downstairs.
"How are you getting used to things in the Southern Region, little sister?" Joan Lawson thought Kenneth's mom was bored and was just calling to chat.
Kenneth's mom pursed her lips and said, "Sister, Kenneth is getting married, and they're about to set a date. Make sure you come when you have the time."
"What? He's getting married? So soon?" Joan Lawson's expression became a bit dazed, "How old is he? Nowadays, who would want to get married before thirty? Didn't you try to talk him out of it?"
Kenneth Osborne is only twenty-three, which is indeed considered early for marriage in his social class.
Kenneth's mom shook her head, "How could I persuade him? It has to be you who tries…"
Joan Lawson collected herself, got into the car, but didn't start it. Instead, she asked intently, "Who is he marrying? Do you know?"
"Of course, he's marrying Lawrence Winters, our former neighbor, you know him too."
