Matilda Jenkins didn't want to anger Nicholas Morrison to death; she also felt quite sympathetic toward the elder in front of her.
From his perspective, he wasn't wrong; instead, he was thinking wholeheartedly about his son, fearing that after his own death, his son would be bullied, which is why he wanted to find a wife who could support his son.
However, he didn't know that his only son had already died.
Thinking of this, Matilda couldn't bring herself to dislike this elder. Since she was young, her parents had taught her to put herself in others' shoes.
It's just that she didn't dislike him, but she couldn't agree to his request like a Holy Mother.
If two people truly loved each other, how could they bear to see the other marry someone else?
What she thought was good for him, was it really good for him?
Not really; marrying someone you don't love often means sacrificing a lifetime of happiness, and that price is too high!
